Consumer Description

BMW illegally stopped updating my car which relies totally on it’s OS system in its iDrive. You used to be able to download them to a usb stick. 1 year newer cars can remotely still download the updates. This is dangerous and needs to be addressed. It is also biased and runs my entire car. The download should still be available for free. There was a technical report but BMW doesn’t honor that.
