If this shit came on while driving I would wreck the car ans sue the shit out of BMW.
But I'm not an asshole, so I'll never own a BMW...
It is illegal to show anything like that while the car is in gear.
However, it's completely fine as soon as you turn it on, or are sitting parked, or in aux mode.
Turn on car, forced to watch an ad before you can shift into drive. Turn off car, forced to watch an ad before the doors unlock and let you out. This is the future...
BMW exec just came in his pants
