I believe BMW did offer this option, at least for some of the features. Heated seats were $450 or so, or $18/mo. It would be ironic if manufacturers were roasted for offering more options for payment rather than fewer. I would not feel this way if the one-time cost were higher than before (I think $500 is about standard), or if purchases were locked to the original purchaser. And I recognize that some of these examples are of companies that do not offer one-time options.

> I believe BMW did offer this option, at least for some of the features. Heated seats were $450 or so, or $18/mo. That's a good call-out. I don't think there's anything wrong with offering a monthly option (it seems weird and I think there's probably some social commentary in there, but whatever), I just don't want to be forced to pay monthly.
