Just ordered an M440 G26 expecting idrive 8
Anyone else just ordered a 4 series recently ? I ordered my one yesterday on the understanding that idrive 8 is now on the G26 as it is on the configurator. The dealership’s systems haven’t caught up with the update (that’s what they have told me) but been assured I will have the updated idrive even though the order docs do not show it.
Also, any tips on options? Currently got a 330 G21 and getting the same packs (comfort, tech and lumbar) but interested to know if there are any worth getting particular to the G26. Thanks! |

Do you already have a VIN / production number? You'll be able to confirm the model year once they provide it to you. Basically MY23 will have iDrive 7 and MY24 will have iDrive 8. I wouldn't worry about it until you have your production number. Do you know if you're entered in the system for a MY24? My M440i G26 order is in the system as a MY24, still waiting for a production number.
IMO, you should definitely get the M Adaptive Suspension, Laserlights, and DAPP. Just don't get the ventilated seats as they use different less bolstered seats for that. |

Re the options, my car is UK spec so think m adaptive suspension comes as standard on the M440. Laser lights are quite a costly option, considered it but happy enough with the standard lights. I don’t think ventilated seats are an option in the UK but could be wrong. What colour did you go for? |

However, the showroom has today told me my car goes into production at the end of March with an end of June delivery. Will give it a couple of weeks and see if any of this changes. |

Not sure whether to get the sunroof as understand it takes away rear headspace. I’ve got a little time (or a lot of time depending on who I believe is providing the correct order status) to decide. Curious to know which tyres the car comes with. |

I understand from the salesperson that all options and listed features will be on the car. I’ll have more confidence when I get the VIN. The power tailgate (with kick opening) and digital key is still part of the comfort pack. I decided to go for the M440 now as the interest rate is currently low (4.9% in the UK) and expect it to go up in the near future. |

I have a 2023 (Week 8 Build) in production now, I can't imagine a Gran Coupe showing up without a power lift gate given the size of the trunk/glass. Has anyone actually seen BMW ship a 2023 Gran Coupe without a power liftgate? I did check my option codes and in fact do not see Code 316 (power tailgate) listed.
