Those that have placed orders

I was looking at my build sheet and I noticed on the line where it says CarPlay, it says 1 year trial. Are they seriously making CarPlay a paid subscription???

In short yes after one year.

Currently it's 3 years subscription here in Ireland on my F15.

2017 year model still had it without subscription (when it was first introduced), 2018 year model with subscription, 2017 models that had SW update done at the dealer subscription was activated (an error hopefully resolved by BMW).

I'd rather pay the $300 up front and leave it at that. The subscription comes out cheaper if you keep the car less than 4 years, but any time last 4 yrs that $80 in addition to the connected drive services would be a couple hundred a year.

Yes it is a subscription and yes it is moronic. It should be free at the price point of the X5. It is free in a number of other cars.
