Just curious though, was this just testing or did it roll out anywhere?


Similar to the complaints about IDrive 7 light. BMW advertised it as being available for the 2018 model year and then started backing off. It didn't matter to me as my charger is situation right next to the driver side of the car and it is easy enough to plug the car in so I wouldn't have bought it/installed it anyway. But BMW does have to be careful about advertising features that it doesn't actually provide.
