"How do you know that people hated the heated seat subscription?"

BMW, if they were honest: "Ummmm... Jailbreaks? A lot of them? It's impossible to enforce it because of them"

For once the car modding community got a giant W against a car maker

The gaming community could learn alot from BMW owners: when companies charge for bullshit services don't pay for them and the company will stop doing it.
