This is simply not true. Here's a recent set of fixes - now because they don't have over the air updates or free ones, how many people will ever get their cars updated: "Researchers said they were able to combine the 14 flaws to escalate their access to the car's inner CAN bus".

My bad, i thought that BMW is almost the same as Mercedes, it turns that it is not. Mercedes doesn't have such flaws by design - there are no writable connections from media and can bus to steering, engine, gearbox etc. And everything is encrypted there (unlike CAN). I expected that BMW is same as Mercedes (since they use same flexray chips), but it seems that BMW screwed up their setup.
