Y'all mean "power bolsters" or "adjustable bolsters," when you say your cars don't have side bolsters, right?

I mean... the sport seats all have side bolsters. It's just that some have a power adjustable feature, and y'all are talking about that specific feature.

Right?

This is what I’ve been referring to. No power side bolster on passenger seat.

In that case it might be due to the parts shortage. Did you build your car or got it off the lot?

Received my 330i LCI and I am missing Power Trunk and surround view camera system (which was an option for '22 model year 330i). Add these to ACC, Puddle Lights, Lumbar support for Passenger. The list goes on

Sorry boy and girls no retro fit possible. Appears to me they had wiring harness shortage or they completely cut it out.
You can see here bottom of the door panel no wiring.

What a world we are living in. Unbelievable. On a $70k car too.

Personally, while it is an annoyance, I find the bigger annoyances are the cutting of the power tailgate option, lumbar support for the passenger, and options for front seat cooling and rear seating heating.

I think the one I'd like to see is possible is a power tailgate retrofit. That would probably be the retrofit I'd like to do.

People have done retrofits of lumbar support but it is bit janky and not the most OEM thing to do.

And the heating/cooling seating retrofits are probably expensive and not worth it.

The items you listed we knew about but its the other things we thought where not affected but are. Trust me I understand and I'm truly disappointed. I'm working on a possible M3 trade up at this
point. To the power tailgate you can retro fit for some $700-$800.

Is there a guide for the power tailgate retrofit? I can't imagine dealerships will do it given they almost never agree to do modifications like retrofits to the vehicles after the fact (though I will definitely ask just for the heck of it when I receive my vehicle).

Anyone know if this affects the M440 GC that's made in Germany vs the Mexican made cars?

luisp16 · 11-02-2022, 01:12 PM

I found another difference in the interior lightning. The ambient lights inside the door storage and cup holder are gone in LCI. Not a big issue but it’s yet another minor detail that disappoints, specially for those of us “upgrading” from a pre-LCI

Hi I have a m340i uk. And was well pissed, when it was delivered, As part of a purchase deal.My dealer was going to fit some puddle lights. They were also shocked to find no lights fitted. Also another items that has been deleted is the boot 12volt power supply, which was on my previous car, And assisted driver display in the HUD. And storage under the steering

TheJerseyDon · 11-04-2022, 12:59 PM

UPDATE: got a appointment with dealer and BMW rep for next Tuesday. They want to "document" the car and see what can be done to retro fit or talk to other options.

The heads up display is absolutely useless in it's current state.

What's missing in the HUD?

Dave455 · 11-04-2022, 06:31 PM

This is what should be in the HUD

RizG20 · 11-04-2022, 08:52 PM

i know its known that power trunk is gone, but what about hands free tail gate? i could have sworn that was also gone, but i saw it while i was browsing the vehicle options and tried it out. i have it.

I think that came back sometime in September. My build sheet place back in September doesn't have the deletion.

Jryanl · 11-05-2022, 12:58 PM

For all these deletions, do they show up in the build sheet? Or do you just find out when you pick up the car?

WHAT. Can anyone else confirm? Hands free tailgate is nice, but I'd take power trunk over it in a heartbeat. Would even like to see if it's possible to get the dealer to retrofit it.

Just got mine today. It has hands free but no power trunk close. Most of these things would be nice and should be on the car but aren’t major except for power trunk closure.

I loved the idea of the small compartment storage but where I live in Florida I used it maybe once for sunglasses in 3 years.
