I think this innovation is excellent and commendable.. it just seems like things are getting so very complex.

+1 It is a nightmare to buy these things out of warranty and it seems like it is just getting worse. Think about this; I can get an e60 with under 75k miles for under $16,000. Now let's say this car only comes with one key and I lost it or I just really need 2 keys for my car...BMW-"that will be $750 sir". Really?
They make these things pretty much impossible to afford 2nd handed. Or even if it is possible to afford, many aren't willing to take the risk on something that can practically bankrupt them at any given time.
