New M440i order cancelled
I've just had a call from my dealer to say that BMW have cancelled my order for a new M440i that I ordered in July as they can't supply the HUD (a must for me) due to the chip shortage.
A bit disapointed but as I'm very happy with my current M340i it's not the end of the world, will look again when things settle down, next year maybe. |

It's a shame you had to cancel but at least, as you said, you have the M340i that you are happy with.
It's all a bit confusing (and concerning) thought as they keep saying that M Performance models will still get HUD and HK but then this happens. I am told my M340i should (??) go into production early December but really don't wouldn't be surprised to get a similar call myself nearer the time. Hopefully for you it'll settle soon and you'll be able to move over to the 440i.

I'm expecting to have HK deleted from my order but I do think it's odd that it's still available to spec on their configurator? HUD still available to option too?

HUD is part of the technology pack which is still showing as available on the configurator, all rather strange!

According to the configurator on bmwusa.com the HUD (Head-Up Display) comes with the Premium Package for the 2022 M440i. I don’t think there’s such a package as the Technology Package for the 2022 M440i.

We are all in the UK in this thread not the US. Our packages are not the same as your in the USA. The HUD is part of the technology pack, and the technology plus pack here in the UK. Bri |

Ah! Gross oversight on my part. With some luck US M440i orders with the HUD will not be affected. Mine hasn’t yet gone into production (ordered around Sept. 8) and I haven’t been notified of any deletion of the HUD.

Friend of mine was in the dealers a few days ago and was told there’s no chance of ordering a car with HK or a HUD.
In fact, the salesman said they’ve only been allocated three new cars for the rest of the year. |

I was told by my dealer yesterday that HK and HUD is M cars only and not even M Perf now.
Discounts are also interesting. They can sell every car they can [actually] build with no over-production currently. So discounts are becoming harder. Zero discount on a 1 series they said! Long lead times on X cars from US (~10 months). |

These are indeed mad times we're living through. I can't believe the omissions in spec that are being highlighted nowadays. I feel quite privileged to have got the one I did back in July this year with everything on it I had ordered. No HK wouldn't have been huge loss to me but no HUD would definitely have been a deal breaker. Dismissed downsizing to an M240i some time back now because of no availability of HUD on that model.

Last year BMW group cars were on 6 month contract, it's now at 15 months with limited spec on those cars (mine was August and had HK/Wireless removed but still had HUD thankfully!)
Was really looking forward to an I4 early next year...

I know how your feeling
I had the same issue earlier in the year when my X5 order was cancelled due to no HK or rear Air Suspension. I wasnt offered any opportunity to defer my order, just cancel! Since then I have ordered a X3 M40D LCI for delivery in March 22 and already component shortages are hitting builds. At the moment my build looks OK but who knows whats coming in the next 2, 3, 4 or 5 months?? Any removal of the main options I have chosen and I will not hesitate to cancel. |
