This is very backwards. Show me where they disclosed that an advertised feature would take itself away or expire. This is clearly unethical, and should be illegal if it isn’t.

What if they just straight detuned the engine below advertised peak hp or removed the S3 transmission setting to “prevent advanced wear” (read: prevent warranty claims related to using an advertised feature). They are simply betting the money they will save on one end will outweigh any financial risk on the other.

What right does BMW have to remove a feature we ostensibly paid for to save themselves from warranty claims, especially when that removal continues beyond any warranty period and we’re not allowed to decide to be okay taking the risk?
See the new posts. They show exactly that.

I don't like it either but it is what it is.
