Going forward, BMW says it will continue to offer subscription-based services but only for software options, like driver assistance and digital assistant services, which is completely understandable.

The fuck it is. You offer car features at time of sale. And if you want me to like your brand, at best you offer OTA or wifi updating for free to enhance the experience, and make me want to buy your next car.

You try and nickel and dime me for shit technology that has been around for 20 years, and I could give two fucks. I’ll plug in my phone, ignore your entire. Infotainment and actively campaign for it to fail and blow up in your face.

They’re just trying to recoup the cost of being forced to install turn signals even though their drivers don’t need them.

They’re recouping the costs of hiring an in house orthodontist to fix all them buck tooth grills they made.

They’re hideous. I feel bad for all the people that were finally in a financial position to afford an M3/M4 and have to drive around that monstrosity.

Do they try to fool themselves into thinking it looks good?

I decided to wait until I actually have the money to buy the cars I wanted as a teenager… and now that I have the m9ney, those cars either no longer exist or have been ruined to the point where the spirit of the car that I loved is no longer there. So now I continue to drive my old ass civic and my wife gets a new car every few years instead, while I wait to be further disappointed.

You know you can buy literally the cars you wanted as a teenager right?

Staying on the BMW thread, you can get a mint E46 or E9X M3 for a fraction of the cost of the new ones. Just gotta find one where the owner has taken care of it and kept service records.
