    Subscription based models is how they kill the second hand car market. No one will touch a BMW with a subscription off lease.

        BMW parts are bonkers expensive. I have a Cooper and whenever something goes wrong the repair is stilly expensive. Mini may be BMW’s cheaper brand when you drive off the lot. But ownership costs outside of warrantee are BMW through and through.
