Except that if you lived with it, and it's done well, it's brilliant. From Dec 2018 to Dec 2020, my model 3(s) got so many features added as updates. Some were Elon jokes, yes, but some were extremely useful. The entire functionality of Sentry mode: added OTA. Dog mode: OTA. Turn on cameras when turning on the turn signal: OTA. Braking performance, range optimization, faster 0-60 times: all OTA. YouTube, Netflix, games, Spotify...all added OTA.
It's not all fart noises and caraoke. Although those things are fun. But the actual real world functionality of my car increased. Actual value was added.
For free.
I say up to Dec 2020 because that's when they started really following Elon's BS and going backwards. Completely re-did the display so that there was enough room for the FSD (Farce Self Driving) layout, shrinking the speedometer readout and the energy bar. And more. Between then and Dec 2022 when I got rid of it, the meaningful features added were maybe 20% of the preceeding 2 years.
This was for free. Likely BMW won't be as alturistic. But wouldn't you love to have additional functionality added to the car at low or minimal cost AFTER you purchased it? Without having to go to a dealer, make any mess or alter your warranty?
Why WOULDN"T you want the updates?

I find it pretty easy to navigate using the wheel buttons or the iDrive controller.
