    Still have to pay a subscription for heated seats or whatever, right?

        Not even that, BMW allowed to get it as an option (never removed the possibility of buying it out right). However this is the internet, there’s no room for nuance.

      They charge for premium network connectivity. It’s $10/month to make use of if the LTE radio in the car for connecting directly to streaming services without your phone, live camera feeds in your cell phone app, and some extra map stuff. You still get eight years of basic navigation and updates if you don’t pay for it.

      The heated seats thing was BMW, which they back tracked on

          I doubt you lose the GPS connection, but you lose the network connection to make the mapping and navigation work. About like navigating with your phone without cell service

            Mapping and navigation still work but only update when you update the car. You lose access to real time traffic and the lte network.
