Plus even worse because the car needs to communicate with bmw servers to "verify" every time you start the car... if they have server issues your CarPlay won't work

Also what happens when the car's onboard communications get phased out of service? For example, 2013 cars and older used an older communication system (2g) and no longer have a way of communicating to the servers. Same thing will happen to 3G and 4G at some point, so lifetime really isn't even lifetime.
