This freaking sucks.
BMW is supposed to be working on a technical update for older vehicles. However, they only mention it for vehicles still covered by BMW-paid BMW Assist subscriptions (like the new-vehicle contract). It doesn't mention anything about people who want to upgrade their older cars and still for the subscriptions themselves.

So at the moment, everything regarding older vehicles is only speculation (even from your dealer/customer service) because BMW hasn't finalized their plans yet.
