Yeah, the touch screen should be there. I read somewhere else that this was an issue, so BMW rolled out the cars without touch screen, gave the customer 500 USD and ordered the car into touch screen upgarde once they had the chips for that.
It sucks, cause without that you wont have the reverse assistant as well afaik.
Thank god the Idrive is super good, so wont be a major issue, and also voice command is functioning well. I would be more pissed if the climate control was not working due to chip shortage
