I disagree. Nobody else in the industry is doing it. CarPlay and Android Auto comes with entry level compacts from Hyundai, Mazda, Honda, etc with no subscriptions and those cars carry razor thin margins for the automakers. BMW's are already on the pricey side relative to Audi and MB so to me this is a cash grab and a bad look for the brand trying to squeeze more money from customers. No other way to spin this.
