Buys BMW with subscriptions for various features

Vehicle gets features enabled over the air. All is good.

Network technology used becomes obsolete and unsupported *cough* 3G *cough*

Now your shit doesnt work anymore.


I didn't want to read through 4 pages of bickering back and forth to see if it's been talked about, but I'm curious if these lifetime unlocks transfer when you sell the vehicle. Will the vehicle require a network connection to have the features unlocked or is it stored locally on the vehicle? If it's a lifetime unlock and you sell the vehicle, will it require the new owners to have the plan transferred? I can see issues with private and even dealership sales stating something has all these features, then the new owners lose all those features once they take ownership and the previous owner cancels or removes the vehicle from their subscriptions.

As much as I dislike this new subscription service world we are morphing into, I can see where it can be good and bad. I hate how I seem to be adding more and more payments for things every month.
