Submitting as I figured it would be interesting for discussion. Boiling frogs and all.
> To celebrate the partnership with Spider-Man™: Brand New Day, BMW has a special surprise for its drivers. The Spider-Man™ Animation will be available (in participating markets) to all customers with suitably equipped vehicles from 27 July to 10 August. Starting the car brings up a special banner in the Control Display. Clicking on it then activates the Spider-Man™ animation, comprising a full-screen festive animation in the Control Display with aptly chosen backing music and an accompanying light show courtesy of the ambient lighting system. These festive animations will be available in more than 70 countries worldwide for vehicles equipped with the relevant optional equipment and BMW Operating System 7, 8, 8.5, 9 or BMW Operating System X, as well as a production date after 7/2020.

My “ultimate driving experience” is ad free.
Does anyone outside the US get something local like our Independence Day July 4th?
I believe we gave more countries their independence day than anyone else old sport. However I'm yet to see the connection between such matters and what appears to be your acceptability of in-car advertising.
Nobody forces you to click the so called ad. Does your BMW force you to watch them?
Crash vehicle.
Profit?
In my opinion Windows has pushed "slop" too far and is now experiencing lowering market share and I really hope this happens to all the companies trying a B055man69 move[1] on their customers.
