that is very disturbing. nowhere did they say it would stop responding to voice commands after a few years.

PS i also checked the "lifetime" thing i bought - it wasn't connected drive it was "remote services".

i guess both our cars are now dumb cars.

i now use google android auto or apple car play to call people and send messages and also navigate. previously i could do all these with BMW itself.
