BMW owners are criticizing the automaker after it pushed a Spider-Man Brand New Day promotion onto dashboard screens in cars they already own, calling the move intrusive.

The ad appears as a startup banner on eligible BMWs built after July 2020. Drivers can tap it to launch a 19-second animation with music and synchronized ambient lighting.

BMW says the animation never plays automatically, but owners argue they still shouldn’t see advertisements inside vehicles they purchased for $50,000 to $100,000.

The backlash also points to BMW’s 2023 promise that it wouldn’t sell advertising space inside its cars, calling the cabin “a private space.”

The campaign runs in more than 70 markets until Aug. 10 as consumer advocates warn dashboard screens should prioritize driving functions, not commercial advertising.
