Kind of paranoid eh? You realize that your basic location can be tracked by your cell phone right?
Call it caring about my privacy. My cell can only be tracked if it is on, but the car can always be tracked without an owner's knowledge. While I don't expect to ever have the law after me, as someone who cares about privacy rights that is one right I will not give up. Furthermore, as someone in the computer security field, I know just how easy it is for someone with bad intentions to access electronic items they shouldn't.

But back to my point (and more along the lines of this topic), there is no good reason BMW couldn't include Bluetooth without Assist. As far as I can tell, it's just an excuse to squeeze more money out of people by requiring options x and y to be able to use z.
