Both the above answers are spot on, it’s like adverts that say AC not working, just needs re-gassing……so why not get it done and sell the car more easily and for a bit more dosh? Airbag could be anything from a dodgy connector under the seat (easy) to an actuator or airbag module (very expensive).

Yes, although there is a train of thought that hydrogen can be used to power 100 year old ICE technology and call itself Green. 😂

It’s a years motoring for £1K……don’t believe the re-gassing, that would be a miracle it’s more than likely a component failure, but it just means no AC. Hondas are very well made.

You might have to pay a subscription for a seat to use in the bus soon 😉

Don’t doubt it the way the base rate is going. We’ll be paying the real going rate for motoring soon 😂

I am not familiar with the MB system, what are they doing exactly?

All manufacturers offer “customisation” as you call it, most just call it options, even Lexus gives you option packs. All BMW are doing is giving buyers of secondhand vehicles the choice to upgrade to options that were never picked by the original buyer, I really don’t see the down side, sure it would be nice to have a buy outright option but the if you don’t keep cars that long your may well be paying half the cost for the next owner.

And when have they never done that?

Even here in the U.K., the most used one I believe is VW and a stalk change enables cruise control. In the old days it used to be if your car didn’t have the puddle lights, or footwell lights it was a matter of just inserting bulbs!

Yes, I don’t think my old 1972 2002tii would qualify 😁

I agree, but I guess it depends how long your going to keep the car for and how much a one off payment would be, would have been good to have the option though.

What a strange outlook, yes if its a top model it will already have heated seats, fine. But, if you buy a lower model which heated seats didn't come as standard you can add them.

Unfortunately this is just hype and misunderstanding, if you buy your brand new BMW you can order it with heated seats (if it is not standard) just as normal with no subscription involved, but what BMW have done is a first in the industry by making it available to secondhand purchasers if it was not specified when new. The purchaser of a used BMW can add the heated seat feature by buying the subscription.

I didn’t understand the relevance of the previous question.
