Ordered but now feeling unenthused :(
Hi folks.
New member here! Ordered a 330e on 14th June via NHS Fleet leasing and told approx 16 week lead time. Options are - Portimao Blue Black Leather with Blue Contrast Stitching Blue Calipers Aluminium Tetragon interior MSport Tech Pack Pro Pack xDrive Obviously having read through the forums I'm expecting that the Tech pack is not going to include the HK sound system and the wireless charging so I'm a little upset about that, especially considering I'm going to be waiting until about October for it according to current timescales. I'm wondering if they'll even contact me about it given it's a lease ordered from/by NHS Fleet. If they do I've a mind to ask them to include something else like parking assistance pro, or the comfort pro pack (though I'm aware I'll probably get told where to go). Been looking forward to it for such a long time (and still have a long time to wait) but now I feel a little unenthused by the fact I picked the car how I want it, and that's not how it's going to arrive. Does anyone know if/how I can track the build once I have more information. The latest update from NHS Fleet is that they are still waiting for an anticipated delivery date. Thanks in advance. |

It all depends what you're willing to sacrifice. I sacrificed memory seats this time round for the HUD instead, I do miss memory but glad I got the HUD. |

The order number is sometimes called the production number and so either of those will do. It is clearly marked on the front electronic order form and will be available to whichever dealer placed the order. You would have thought that the lease company will have a copy of that.

I'm afraid you are going to be in for a long wait as it is unlikely you'll get a confirmed delivery date for a few weeks yet.
There are many of us on this forum waiting on vehicles, I ordered mine 12 weeks ago and only just had confirmation from the factory that it is finally starting build! I have convinced myself that it'll be worth the wait and hope you will too.

I understand your concerns around missing options. I would have the same mindset that it would taint my excitement of the car.
Having the tech pack in mine I do not think I would want the car without HK sound. I have not heard a stock systems but for me its more the visual improvement the HK system has over the stock i.e the nicer looking speaker grills and logos. The wireless charging is nice but not something I use a great deal due to how hot iPhones get when you leave it charging for a long period. Nice to have though if you need a quick top up of power to the phone. |

I'd be peeved about the HK because it's much better than standard, but I think I've used the Wireless Charging twice in 18 months and on one of those occasions the phone moved and never actually charged. Now, on the rare occasion when I need to charge, I just plug it into the USB-C port in the armrest, at least I know it's charging and it's no less convenient than using the charging tray.
I was the same with Android Auto, couldn't wait to get the update for it, when I did, tried it and never went back to it as the integration of Android Auto and the iDrive is poor, especially the HUD on the Navs so I'd rather use the iDrive for everything. It's awful having to wait, we're now a society who wants everything tomorrow, I'm exactly the same, when I decide I want something, I want it now, not in a few days or in a cars case a few months, I hate waiting!

Build codes I've been given to date have been three digits based on the following:
0 Order deleted by BMW 17 Order not specified 37 Order is at BMW NA 87 Production Week Assigned 97 Order sent to AG 100 Order deleted by AG 101 Error in data transmitted 102 Special Order (no Prod Week) 105 Order out of Prod. Period 111 Order Accepted at AG 112 Order scheduled for Production. Up to this point you can usually make changes to your order. Once it goes into the next status, 150, the vehicle is already on the assembly line and cannot be changed. 150 Production Started 151 Body Shop Started 152 Paint Shop Started 153 Assembly Started 155 Production Completed 160 Released to Distribution 168 AG Stock 170 Waiting Workshop 172 Planned for Workshop 174 Workshop Entry 176 Workshop Complete 180 Waiting for Export Dispatch 181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch 182 Schedule for Carrier 190 In transit to port of exit 191 Returned to BMW AG 193 Arrived at Port of Exit 194 Selected for Shipment 195 Shipped from Port of Exit 196 Shipment Arrival
