Things are getting worse. BMW Dealer has just told me that from week 42 production, all 3 & 4 series cars will lose touchscreen functions and reversing functions from the iDrive with System 7. Those with orders ‘in flight’ will be offered a £500 rebate. Affects System 7 equipped vehicles. There’s no end date for this ‘temporary’ removal and my Dealer tells me that there is nothing that they can do to help. I’m going in this weekend to discuss options, including cancellation.

I will likely either look at a different model, or even defer until the LCI comes on stream.

If you have an order with this production week or later, call your dealer.
