BMW charging a subscription fee to use heated seats in the car you buy

https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/12/2...-seats-feature
BMW is now selling subscriptions for heated seats in a number of countries — the latest example of the company’s adoption of microtransactions for high-end car features.

A monthly subscription to heat your BMW’s front seats costs roughly $18, with options to subscribe for a year ($180), three years ($300), or pay for “unlimited” access for $415
You own it, but not really.

Makes sense if you are leasing the car and want some of those features. The manufacturer can just install everything all at once at production instead of optioning it out in packages.

Damn man, I totally remember this being talked about and discussed like 3-4 months ago when they first announced doing this in Japan and S. Korea. Thanks for not using the search feature, I can't believe I forgot about this. (considering negging)

Since when did they fix the search feature?

buying a new BMW has always been stupid, but buying a new BMW in 2020+ is retarded

this is potentially cool in a few years where you'l be able to buy a base model with all the features installed but deactivated and you'l be able to jailbreak for free to get all the features.

lame regardless though

that doesn't even matter anymore because the physical copy will still require some always-online server access and then when they shut down the server in 10 years, the game is still unavailable
