Oh no, I get that. I just cringe every time I see a new owner talking about "regenerative braking", thinking it's more than it really is. "Features" like this start first in the luxury brands, accompanied by appropriate marketing and stupid gauges with trademarked symbols and flashing blue bars. As tech trickles down, every car will probably end up doing it this way.

What big issues? Buy appropriate batteries (not necessarily from the dealer), register replacements with the car, and if you chronically do short trips use a trickle charger from time to time.
Bottom line - the IBS systems watching over the battery and other electricals aren't a scam or conspiracy - don't try to defeat them.
The IBS systems were introduced in the 7 series in the early 2000s and have been a part of BMWs ever since. It's not just the F10s and it's not new. EfficientDynamics is newer than IBS, but still not new.
