"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. 

Pretty much loll. It's crazy to me that the hardware is inside you car like heated seats yet they are like, you can't use that because you need to pay us the upgrade fee so we can enable the software so you can use the hardware. God jailbreaking cars is gonna be a thing in the future.
