Here's a good video summarizing.

First BMW chose your phone for you by having apple car play but not android auto and now this.

I left the roundel behind after my E60 entered a certain phase of its life. The kind that costs a lot to maintain.

BMW has been trying their hardest ever since then to make sure I don't return. Lets hope customers in South Korea resoundingly reject this crap and this terrible idea dies here.

FTFY. see also all other microtransactions that don't make sense like app purchases and apps with continuous release instead of being launched fully baked.
