Yeah I thought this would go down like the netflix login clampdown - people online rally against it and say they'll cancel Netflix, but in reality their subscriber numbers are up massively
There is a fundamental difference between the two in that the Netflix one has a justifiable reason while the BMW (and Toyota) making things subscriptions when they don't need to do anything on an ongoing basis to provide that thing is just a money grab.
