BMW was one of the pioneers that helped bring the subscription model into the mainstream car market.
BMW 's decision to introduce a subscription model for some of its cars’ features attracted a large amount of controversy.
The company eventually dropped the heated seats from their subscription service, making them a permanent purchasable feature as they had always been.
A subscription-based model for your car’s features may still seem like the stuff of science fiction, but it's not something that works for everyone.
There is definitely a place for subscriptions in the automotive market, but automakers should not completely eliminate the option of buying a car option outright at the point of purchase.
