    Well done BMW. Anything that leads to more people cycling instead of driving is a good thing in my book.

      People won’t switch from driving to cycling over this. They’ll just pick one of the several dozen other car manufacturers.

        I suspect most BMW owners won’t care too much. Like they’ll find it annoying but still buy/lease the car anyway.

          If the bike does the biking completely for me, has hvac, reclining seats, can do 65mph down the highway and can take care of my morning wood taking into account remaining travel time, I’d be interested. That indeed would be a really good bike.

      Nobody’s gonna abandon cars as a whole over this, the same they wouldn’t abandon bicycles as a whole over some other outrageously monetized luxury feature they could live without.

      Sorry, your bicycle’s gear selector is locked into a single gear until you pay your subscription for the other gears.
