Try modern BMWs for size... The dealers cannot read any info from the BUS anymore, anything like codes and diagnostics must now be sent to Germany to "support", and they send back a procedure to try. No manuals, no local computers, they've successfully encrypted all electronic communications in the car and locked out the independent mechanics (and their own dealers)... A friend who is a tech at a large BMW dealership told me "you'd be stupid to keep those cars one day past the warranty"...
