Not sure he can confirm 100% with the current situation just regurgitating what I have been told and he did say he is sure it isn't being deleted, I take it all with a pinch of salt, can only hope he does know better and it isn't deleted or we will need to have a discussion as I personally do use it.

That’s the frustrating part about it that even the dealers don’t seem to really know or they are telling us what they think we want to hear until the last minute.

True... my order has been pushed back twice, should of been collecting this week originaly, strange how some on here have had a fairly smooth ride and others are having an absolute mare. I actually believe he/dealer believes it's not changing anyway... not sure if touchscreen deletion also removes reverse assist, read somewhere it does.

Unsure anyone with any certainty can be sure from personal experience, my order went from having hand gesture to then hand gesture being removed to then being reinstated on my latest pencilled/confirmed build week. "If" it's not as simple as replacing a screen with the touchscreen I will need to consider my options.

My dealer's also explained he's not aware of any of their cars being affected by the spec change as yet. Including mine. I also don't think BMW would be able to get away with removing the feature without disclosure to the customer before delivery. Otherwise they're not delivering to the spec. My guess is this is a spec change that only affects certain models of the g20/g21 range, in a similar manner to HUD etc with M Sport models are below. Or atleast, here's hoping! One of the features I was always pleasantly surprised with on the BMW infotainment was the fact it had both a physical controller and touch interface. So I'll be annoyed if it is removed. |

Of course the iXs, i4s and LCIs will be touch screen because they moved all the A/C buttons to the screen.... a bad move in my opinion but locks in touchscreen.

Also read retrofit won’t be a option. If it is such a little issue they can swop over the one from my part exchange…. ha ha no chance they will do that |

I will seriously have to consider my options as its just not as intuitive as using all the controls at my disposal in my current... lesser model of car, waiting on my dealer for a difinitive answer but suspect it has been removed. |

3 Series G20/G21 4 Series Coupe G22 4 Series Grand Coupe G24 4 Series Convertible G23 Z4 G29 Touch Screen deletion affects these models from build week 43 onwards so anything manufactured after w/c 25th October (we will see if this is true or not with those of you picking up new vehicles in the coming few weeks). As has been said previously, £500 +VAT will be deducted from the total order value but those of you hoping for a retrofit later will be dissapointed, this will not be possible. It was also intimated that models further up the range may also be affected in the new year and to expect further disruption to production throughout 2022.
