Price / fanciness has nothing to do with the amount of telemetry (if anything, there is a weak negative correlation).

BMW was one of the best for privacy the last time I checked.

It is still collecting data. That is the nonstarter for me. My car does not collect any data on me. There will be no software update in the future changing any privacy policy because my car does not ever receive software updates. Even if the ECU did get an update after some repair, it is airgapped with no ability to send out telemetry. I still get certain telemetrics logging for maintenance, locally, of course, via OBD-II.
