Pieter Nota, the German carmaker's board member for sales and marketing, told Autocar magazine the company would no longer charge consumers for features that are already in their cars.
  • A BMW executive told Autocar magazine the company will be ending its $18-a-month heated seat subscription.
  • The executive said the carmaker plans to continue with a subscription model for certain features.
  • This seat-heating paywall was dunked on by everyone, from consumers to talk show hosts.

BMW drivers can celebrate — you'll no longer be asked to pay extra for your heated seats to work.
