I equate this similar to both Apple's iOS and Android fully backing up device and applications to their clouds. BMW can take a lesson from that but apparently they are clueless to do so.
Dude--they've not figured out how to separate state from binary versions? ... if that's true, we should all stop driving their cars immediately and fear for our lives.
