I was actually quite surprised when I saw that I could connect my car to HA and that the integration was fully featured, with a lot of stats and entities exposed.
I didn’t have time to make much use of it, but I’m still quite sad to see it go. It was nice to be able to glance at the current range, tire pressure, and overall status right from home.
The same stats will be available in the application but, with this gone, we are again, an internet that is even more closed and fenced.

As the product offering has changed after purchase. Would this not be grounds for returning the product for a full refund?

No? Can you return your pixel phone because some Gmail feature changed?

This comparison is invalid. Gmail is a separate product from the phone, and importantly, not advertised as being included with the phone. BMW owners are paying separately for the API access, which has now been limited after the sale.

No. But maybe you should. The thing got less useful, thus less valuable.

…only to be rebranded and reintroduced in a few months for a modest monthly subscription? /s
