Spend 60 grand on a car and they want a monthly fee to do what any smartphone already does. BMW seems to be doubling down on stupid with idrive and now this too. BMW, wake the Fuck up, people buy german cars for handling, engine performance (which is becoming more suspect with the turbo everything attitude) , and nice interiors. All the idrive and gimmicks they are trying now are half baked at best. It not going to take people long to realize fooling with this crap is worse than texting and driving. BTW I’m a current BMW owner and quit using the voice commands along time ago. Its like talking to your TV remote, by the time you tell it what you want you could have already called. Really who needs the texts, emails and facebook updates read out all the time while your driving.
