also launch control isn't really advertisements and its not rising to the level high enough to be "false advertisement" |

I talked to XHP and that seems like the only solution. I'll write more of my response later. I'm at work right now.

It's completely different than a car sold with a restricted built in and never modified by BMW. Not similar at all. |

So if Apple just has the existing software limit the cpu after 2 years without an update, that's totally fine?

Didn't mean to say it doesn't fix it, but from what I saw on some cars the 0-60 didn't really improve but it did help in the other gears.

I’ve handled enough class actions that if I can find an expert, who can testify that BMW is in fact limiting cars after 100 launches, I’ll take the case.

If you do, however, I'm in as a (hopefully) credible witness or whatever. |

I want to see something in writing or a BMW Tech willing to tell me and testify as to the Ms, not an X1, that BMW is limiting the cars to 100 launches.

On the Apple comparison... both Apple and BMW have a plausible claim that they didn't have ill intent. Apple's was that they were trying to prevent unpredictable failures/crashes on older phones with old batteries. BMW's is that they're trying to prevent failures of a part that's already "well used". Both may have the effect of people trading in the old product early and both were poorly disclosed if they were disclosed at all. Both were performed via arbitrary software decisions that hamper functionality that was present when the product was originally purchased. |

Others here seem more optimistic—my take is they're focusing on some sort of reasonable disclosure requirement that, well, isn't reasonably disclosed and ultimately negatively impacts the product. : |
