"BMW to make owners pay for features like heated seats via subscription"

"The options included in these upgrade packages can be turned on or off using the My BMW app, and while some are permanent, others are only activated for a specific period of time, ranging from three months to three years."

Welcome to 2020, where you have Micro-transactions on cars! Now Tesla technically does something similar but with them, when you buy the "heated rear seats upgrade," it's permanent... With BMW, it could be Temporary!

I can see it now "pay a sub fee to wear your clothes, eat your cereal!". If one industry can do it for this long (games/mobile industry), I guess all the others feel it's validated that they all do it. Eventually we won't actually own anything, since we'll just be paying non stop subs, and ppl had the gall to tell me that was the cheaper alternative to just paying once for everything and actually owning it. 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
