I swear, sometimes i wish I kept my GTI. Adding new stuff was as easy as replacing the part and adding it to the CAN-BUS. This whole "you can't add it if it didn't come with the car and if you do it'll stop working if the dealer reflashes the car" nonsense is beyond stupid.
The TCU, the MULF-HI (ComBox now) and the harness connecting all this will change.

I would guess that if enough people complaint BMW might do something about it. For example, the HiFi system is back as standard equipment (although without the rear tweeters) for the 1- and the 3-Series. I bet $1.43 that this was mostly due to the complaints of thousands of owners about the really shitty Stereo system that they dared to install in $40,000 cars for the last year.
