> No such ability is available on the BMW.

Does the CEO of BMW tweet that it's your fault after you wreck your car?

No. But the CEO of Tesla doesn't do that either.

(They can't tell the reason for the crash remotely, they extract the data directly, in person, with physical access to the car.)

Interesting. Can't you wrap the antenna in a Faraday cage, or simply disconnect it?

You most certainly can prevent it from paging home to BMW. Either thru the settings menu or hacking it via ODB2 port and coding it off with software like E-Sys.

Yeah, like any normal customer would do. /s

I mean, it's the same software the a BMW dealership uses when they code your car. I was easily able to learn how to code my own BMW using it within a day. It's not hard.
