BMW has faced strong criticism after it displayed a "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" movie ad on the dashboard screens of cars already owned by customers. The ad appears as a banner on startup and can expand into a 19-second animation with synchronized lighting effects, which owners cannot skip but can choose not to open. This move contradicts BMW's earlier promise not to sell advertising space on in-car screens, leading to accusations that the company is treating privately owned vehicles like rented ad space. Consumer advocates argue this violates buyers' expectations for privacy and utility in their vehicles. The promotion is part of Sony's large marketing campaign for the Spider-Man movie and will run through August 10 on eligible BMW models built after July 2020.
