    Why do they keep trying to pull this bullshit?, they’re a luxury brand, there margins should be pretty good without trying to nickel and dime everything

      Cos there are enough dumb people who are ready to pay for this shit.

      Same with lootboxes in gaming, everyone hates them but there are enough people purchasing them so that the companies can keep pulling shit like this off.

      they are doing this for two reasons:

      1. Dropping sales from angry BMW owners fed up with poor reliability.

      2. Dropping sales to Tesla.

      3. Dropping sales because of poor EV designs

      4. Dropping sales because they fail to establish value.
