Right. BMW's just making it easier to obtain options that were not chosen at time of purchase but the HW already exists. Some features do require specific hardware of course and there's no way to turn on something that doesn't exist, by BMW or otherwise. The M Drivers Package is an example of something that's already in the software but needs to be enabled and licensed. Hopefully that makes sense.
