BMW "let's" owners rent out cars that they _own_? Why do the owners need BMW's permission?

Most likely it's for vehicles financed through BMW, which has a financial interest in the vehicle and whose financing might otherwise not have a sub-lease / use for rental / whatever clause. Or maybe it's just the language of an "offering" - "a new service that lets Mini owners do x, y, z".
