$300 (for 20 years of use) is hardly anything when considering the total cost of a BMW.

You're totally right, and it's <1% of the car, but perception is everything. BMW doing it the DIVX way[1] for a feature that's included on a Ford Focus rubs me the wrong way badly.

BMW (uniquely) has moved to a new model that requires you to pay annually to use CarPlay. They do not support Android Auto.

There are two options. You pay $80/yr or $300 for 20 years. If you're leasing for 3 years then $80/yr is what you go with.
