The current version of ConnectedDrive is fine on a subscription basis. But all of it are add on services like concierge service, real-time traffic, emergency towing, etc. If they add features that are internal to the car as a subscription I’m out.

Everything signed into various things as appropriate and Connected Drive all paid up?

I was at the track once when I noticed my M2 lost some features that were apparently, un-documentedly enabled by ConnectedDrive subscription.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
