It'll happen to all makes unless trends change.
This isn't a problem for me, I have a bicycle and the subway is... already... filled with ads. 🙁
I’ve always wanted to test drive a BMW, but now I’m certain I’ll never want to own one.
One of my friends had one as a rental the other day. Even though I was the passenger I could tell it was fun to drive. Maybe I'll get one next time I need to rent something, if it's not much more expensive.
I'm certainly not going to buy one. Expensive to own and maintain.
Soon some pedestrian is going to be run over at a intersection because a driver became distracted by the ad that popped up as soon as they came to a stop.
Yeah, there's a guy in the crosswalk, but are you happy with your hemorrhoid ointment?
It’s Hammer Time
This and the fact that you have to pay subscription to built in features you thought you'd bought. Sold mine and bought an MG. Can't see myself buying another Beemer unless BS this gets fixed.
It's a threat.
At this point, it would be better to just lease the car. What's the point of buying it if the manufacturer still controls it and it's not actually mine?
At this point it's better to get a bicycle.
The first one to make a safe bare bones electric vehicle with no dash screen and solid state batteries wins.
