Enhanced Bluetooth with Wireless Charging and Comfort Access (boot release function only) affects the entire range and will NOT be fitted to any vehicle currently on order, if you've not been contacted about these changes yet you will be. As far as I know, deletion of these items will be compensated by a price reduction, 」350 was mentioned for the Bluetooth/Wireless, not sure how much for the Comfort Access/Boot Release or HK sound.

While it might be a global shortage car makers in particular do seem to have got it wrong and ended up at the back of the queue for chips - not sure consumers should pay for their poor planning.
Bit frustrating but changes not the end of the world so far as long as a suitable price reduction... though odd how random small things like wireless charging getting affected. |

My car was due the first week of June and I was waiting for the call saying I had lost the comfort opener.
Thankfully my order has come forward a week I have the VIN and see code 5100 on my order. I've also have screenshots of the order from the dealer which I can see that I still have the comfort access boot opener. But like many others lost the lumber/width adjust on the passenger seat. No offer of compensation, but to be fair I've managed to get some very nice discounts. |

The lumbar/width adjust was specified as driver only on the online configurator when I ordered my car in April, and listed as such on my order. So I can't really complain about that. |

I've had fairly recent experience of this after putting an order in using the armed forces discount scheme yesterday.
I was originally going to order a 330i touring after being a bit disappointed with the 340i I had as a loaner (no soundtrack vs my F30 340i and not liking the numbness of the 4WD system) but due to the parts shortage I've had to change over to a 340i to get a car with any options on. 330i spec I requested Tech plus comfort plus m sport pro sunroof Got told, no comfort access, no advanced bluetooth/wireless charging, no HK audio, no DAP. The real kicker is that the residuals which you normally get from a pack being ordered are not affected by having the individual items. This resulted in nearly 3k of options being dropped off the car but the monthlies only reduced by 」30. Thought "sod it" and ordered the 340i which oddly enough, BMW could find all the parts for... |

I've just had an update with my dealer with some good news. I've just missed out on all these deletes and the car should be delivered the UK port in next couple of days.
My order was 330i Touring - M Sport Pro - Dravit Grey - Tech Plus Pack - Comfort Plus I double checked and it does indeed have DAP, Comfort Access, H&K etc. The only thing missing which I knew about was passenger side lumbar delete. This was ordered first week of Feb. |

Seems the disruption and associated problems are mainly with G20 and G21 models with, apparently, almost all G20s currently coming from Mexico? Wondering if anyone else on here has a G22 on order? Don't seem to see any chatter about the coupe much on the forum? |

I've just checked with my dealer and my G20 has been built to my spec and is waiting to leave Germany. He said they are seeing the chip shortage affecting cars being built from the end of this month.

In the light of that I count myself as being one of the fortunate ones to have had my order go through when it has. If I had left my original order in place with merino leather then I reckon it could have been a build date towards the end of the year, maybe even early next year.

I'll still get the HK sound, and not really fussed about the comfort access but the EBT will be an issue as I must have more than 1 phone paired. I coded it in my F31, but don't want to be doing that when I'm paying this much as it really is a basic requirement nowadays. |

I have a G22 M440i on order from 14 April; full loaded with Merino, Tech Plus, Comfort Plus and with an estimated delivery of 26 June. Just the passenger lumbar excluded and listed as such on the confirmation order form returned from BMW factory. I received a BMW worldwide bulletin a week after ordering advising that due to chip issues no Driving Assistant Professional for an G22 other than M440i and M440d. Like many others, with a factory build I want the vehicle that I ordered.

The reason being I had an order showing wk 28 but when we tried to change it for merino leather it knocked the production back and wouldn't give a production week but as soon as we changed it back to Vernasca leather it re-instated the wk 28 build. I've now been told it's come forward to wk 26??? It's like the production schedule has gone to hell in a hand cart! No mention of any options been affected with regard to chip issues. |

A well known London dealer and the allocation was for May although I only ordered in April. I actually would have preferred a later delivery but to get the deal I was offered needed to bring it forward. The deal was too good though and now I am more than happy.

Sounds like we've ordered from the same dealer. Fingers crossed you get everything you spec'd.

I probably would have bought from that same dealer if the salesman wasn't such a pretentious moron when I politely enquired about any kind of discount on a couple of high spec 330d's they had in stock.

Just read this thread and gets me worried! Have a G21 m340i on order for September - full spec with full
Merino, all the packs, pan roof, tanzanite. It痴 my first new car in 9 years and I値l keep for a similar period of time, so the spec is critical to me. Haven稚 had a call yet but now expecting one! Fingers crossed. Wonder if the sept delivery date makes it more of less likely I値l have an issue?!? |
