As a BMW tech, what car has a subscription for the heated wheel?

GM are saying that their customers want a more seamless integration. Shareholders are slavering at the idea of owners collared to their subscription system. Buyers need to stop buying cars with stupid subscriptions. My 2nd hand BMW has a heated steering wheel that requires an annual fee to use. Nope, heated gloves are the solution!

I’m surprised you didn’t hear about that, because it was a huge controversy. it was limited to a few countries though (or maybe only the UK?)

We only had the heated seat subscription option in Canada.

I can’t find a list of models, but they still use the same system for other subscriptions

I imagine you could wire your own mechanical switch to that steering wheel wheel. Fuck them for doing that though.
