This is wild — BMW is now selling a monthly subscription service for heated seats in your car.

• Monthly fee: $18
• Annual fee: $180

The car will come with all the necessary components, but payment is needed to remove a software block.

Welcome to microtransaction hell.

The era of needing to jailbreak your own car to enable the features installed from the factory.

The annual fee "deal" is bullshit! Who wants heated seats in June, July, August?

Signature goes here!

This honestly sets a dangerous precedent as to what else companies might try to get away with going forward. What's next? Having different subscription tiers of how hard you can blast your AC?

This and the fact that cars are so complicated, that it becomes increasingly harder to diy, thus justifying the official shop or a specialized one to make you spend even more money are why I am considering never buying another new car.
