This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What models? I have an i4 and I have never been hit with this or those subscription services everyone kept talking about. I wonder if it is happening only in certain models.
It's not shown in the actual article, but the first source that they provide for references says this.
Bernd Körber, Senior Vice President BMW Brand and Product Management, says: “The launch of the Neue Klasse and Spider-Man™: Brand New Day could not be more fitting. Both stand for a bold new beginning and the confidence to shape what comes next. We are proud to accompany this new Spider-Man™ chapter with the BMW iX3, our first model of the Neue Klasse.”```
So it seems like it's the Ix3 series. and maybe the 5 series because they indirectly mention it later on
What a dumb move. All this does is discourage me from getting another BMW when my lease is up.
Got it on a 4-series petrol.
Well we need to ban that
with how some stereotypical bmw drivers are, ads will make it worst.
Step 1 Get in an accident
Step 2 Claim the last ad you saw on your screen had you upset and extremely distracted.
Step 3 ???/profit?
If your car connects to the Internet, and has controls on a screen - then it's not your car.
I can't WAIT to never buy a smart car
They said this about Jeep products. I found two people (admittedly a small sample) who had brand new Jeeps and asked if they saw ads on their vehicles entertainment systems and neither of them knew what I was talking about.
It sounds like it was just a specific message about the extended warranty which was showing up too often due to a glitch. Not quite the same as more general ads.

This will really help BMW to drive up their sales. I can't believe their sales increased in North America, whereas the sales dropped off the cliff in China. Not just BMW, all traditional car manufacturers got hammered.
I guess that's what happens if you are very limited in choice of cars (for clarification I meant the US of course).
