The real problem with a lot of the tech is that in five years it is out of date. Navigation systems are a great example as well as 3G. None of this crap can be updated. So it becomes worthless. So it is not really a feature.
Not necessarily car makers can update vie software aka Tesla. Granted there's only so much that can be updated before you need better hardware, but that's at the least five years as you've noted.

The other option is to use your phone as a hardware augment via apple CarPlay/google. I haven't touched the bmw interface for music, nav or calls in my last two cars (F90 and G82). I much prefer apple CarPlay/waze interface. As long as the works you're good
