Didn’t BMW stop the nonsense about having to subscribe to CarPlay?

Yep. My car got an OTA that changed the subscription expiration date to sometime around 2040.

Just a guess - could it be 19 January 2038? (The end of 32-bit UNIX epoch)

Good guess, you had me checking it, but no. I looked it up and it seems to be my purchase date (and consequently original Apple Carplay subscription date) with 20 years added to the year part of the date.
