Forget about OTA Software, full intelligent voice control, Intelligent functionalities, in-car experience, automate my habits, predictive pre-conditioning & weather guard.
Exactly this.

Though I was impressed with some of the stuff they did manage to squeeze into the Voice Control for the iDrive 7 "Lite" cars. Like being able to change drive mode to Sport or Comfort, Turn on Seat Massage (and it can tell if asked for by the Driver or Passenger). And a few others.

Outside of the RSU support the other missing stuff is more gimmicky IMHO.
