Does the dealer voluntarily update you with these codes or is it a case of you keeping on at them?

I really like the new B58 with mild hybrid setup. Hence this fully loaded Coupe works out great for us, loving it more each day. The deleted passenger side lumbar was a no go with the wife, as she has a bad back and uses this feature all the time esp on road trips. Just a little compromise here! No worries, happy wife happy life. Plus with the delays since order placed Feb 5 and more uncertainties looming, going this route in my opinion and all others in the family, was a wise one. Our adult kids all love this TB/Oyster colour combo, btw! Nose is intact, as intact as the new 4 series nose, thank you.

Best to just give your supplying dealer a call and ask them directly maybe? |

Its clear enough, but lack of defined bass without distortion, very artificial surround, basic EQs just make it all a bit disappointing. You'd never guess there were two subwoofers under the seats for example. Considering its probably cost me an extra grand or so as an option (can't remember as was part of a pack) it's just a bit underwhelming and probably not worth the extra costs over the HiFi. At the time of ordering, HK was on the "must-have" list. If I was to order again, it most definately wouldnt be.

This is quite disheartening to read, I have just ordered a BMW 330e Tourer with the Pro & Tech Pack in Mineral Grey. Now obviously with the Tech Pack you get the HK upgrade, but BMW may not be able supply this?
Really hope this isn’t the case as this is my first brand new BMW, it’s business lease but worked hard for it and the spec I want, fingers crossed it comes as ordered

May be worth contacting your supplying dealer and getting them to check and maybe confirm just exactly what the spec is that they are proposing to build? |

I need to know as I have done a contract hire lease quote with the options on so I do not need to be paying from something I am not getting. Thanks once again

That's what this forum is all about and I've always found it very friendly, informative and extremely useful! Mine's in build now and I have just the Tech Pack and it has HK. Ask your dealer about option code ZOJ and get him/her to check what that is showing as currently comprising of, it should be codes 610, 688, 6NW and 6UB. |

I second this. It does the job ok, but I came from an Audi with B&O sound system & the HK just does not get close at all in terms of depth and quality. I have the Bermester system in my Porsche currently, which was £1200 and its possibly the best sound system I've had in a car. The HK cuts out sometimes too ( very common issue on the forums). I am the same as Will it was a must at point of ordered, but I wouldn't bother if ordering it again. Cant remember how much the HK was as it was in a pack, but I am very surprised BMW label it as a premium system- It certainly is not. |

the Bermester is £4,200. It should be good for that price. |

I ordered a 330i M Sport Touring with Comfort Pack, Tech Pack, lumbar support and sun protection glass. Placed the order at the end of March.
Got an e-mail at the start of the week saying that my car will not have the HK sound system and Gesture control. Bit annoyed but they aren’t parts of a pack that I was that interested in, had HK in a previous car and not fussed. I got a bit concerned, reading about other options being taken off on other orders. Spoke to the BMW showroom today and they advised that it is all dependent on when your car goes into production. He confirmed that it is only the HK and Gesture control which will not be on my car. If it had gone into production a week later it would have been missing the wireless charging. A week after that it would also be missing the smart opener (sweeping kick under the car to open the boot). He did end with a caveat...BMW have said further changes could be made at short notice. Thought about cancelling but am happy with the specs as it currently stands. Last edited by Bobvegas; 06-07-2021 at 08:34 PM.. Reason: Typo |

Effectively you cannot be sure of what you are going to actually get until it completes the build process. I appreciate the issues that manufacturers are dealing with but also trying to think of other examples where this might apply. At its simplest, you order a meal at a Michelin star restaurant and end up with just the veg! Anyway, on a more serious note, on other countries forums there is considerable evidence of monetary compensation for these depleted orders. We don’t appear to hear the same in the UK or have I missed something?

Must be annoying and potentially stressful if you have spec'd up your ideal car only to find at a later point it will not have all the features. I'm sure some won't be too bothered. For me I want my car just so if I'm paying BMW prices, which means I'll have to wait till this supply issue is resolved. Could be a long wait. I've been doing a bit of research and it's not just BMW that are having this problem. It's affecting the whole car industry to varying degrees globally. It seems that the car manufacturers were very quick to drop their processor orders when the pandemic hit. Consumer electronics boomed in the lockdown as we all wanted new TV's, phones, PCs, peripherals etc. Now the car manufactures are back to the processor suppliers and find that their orders are back of the queue. Added to that cars use older, more robust and reliable chips which are less profitable to produce. There are a very small number of processor producers in the world. Something like 4 companies control most of the supply. It's estimated that the lack of supply will cost the car industry $60B this year in lost orders. One of which is mine

I am about to sign for my first 'new' BMW since 1998..
BIK has seen me with a variety of Ford Transit, Landrover 110, Nissan navara (x3) all of which have saved me a few £££, but non have exactly been an enjoyable drive. With the onset of 10% BIK for PHEV I decided t was time for some fun once again, so a rather well loaded 330E xDrive M Sport Pro was specified. Loads of quotes later (all of which still had the Tech + pack) I decided to call a more local dealer than the lease "Specialists" on line. It soon became apparent that their lists were way off, as were their 'expected delivery' dates. I had specified the tech + pack, but was not overly bothered about certain components, so when advised about it cannot now be done, was not overly concerned. Lack of HK 'upgrade' would not break the deal (I sell HiFi, and live daily with some nice toys) but whatever the BMW comes with as standard will be a massive upgrade over whatever is in a Navara. I have been quoted 'end of September' as a date for delivery - again, not that fussed, as the Nav does not expire on warranty / tax / Insurance until March next year, I may well keep it to see me through any snow this winter.. That being said, being in the position to own one again after such a long while - I would rather like it, well, ermm, now.. I am hoping the dotted line awaiting my signature is awaiting me tomorrow at work. this thread has highlighted more than afew things that I had not foreseen, thats for sure. The 'chip shortage' issue is vast, and is impacting on so many things in my life right now. Wait until the specific metal shortages take hold as well. |

Spent two weeks begin deal only to find when I placed the order that options were not available including HK and Gesture but also hearing news of acoustic glass and MSport pro pack being removed from list so decided to cancel order and sit out the supply issue but disappointed with BMW re the lack of clarity and openness.
