I assume you're looking at a 230i? It's been removed from the 30i models due to parts shortage. Should still be available in the M240i unless something has changed.

I see BMW knocked off a lousy $700 for Heads up Display, I just did a dummy build there for 230i... sucks. I'd rather have the HUD
also I'd switch my order to 240i but only AWD is available until middle of 2022... I want only RWD

Dave from Australia here. I just ordered one of these for January delivery 22 and got some info on HUD and wireless charging. My primary work is in electronics engineering and the reason for the delete of the HUD and wireless charging for all 1,2,3 and 4 series is semiconductor shortages. Also deleted from these models locally is the full adaptive cruise control in the 3 series (same reason) This is a real problem with a shortage of electronic components that's going to push out to at least 2023, so it's not BMW (or others) fault. My last car was the MCB E92 M3 and been away from the platform until now, looking forward to the new 240i |

One thing I don't get is why BMW (and others) do not leave the wiring harnesses and circuit board cavities in place so they can be retrofitted and coded when back on line instead of excluding present day buyers |

This is a much smarter strategy than our domestic auto makers are doing here in the US. I work for one of the "big 3" and instead of just removing content/features we will build until we run out of a "chip" then shut a plant/plants down, rinse and repeat. I do wish my new M240 would have wireless charging, I never saw the value until my wife got her X5 and the wireless charging complements the wireless Carplay very nicely. Oh well, car will still be awesome!

When you say Spotify, do you mean feeding the audio via carplay... or Spotify is built into radio???

Strange, my list of standard features differs from yours. I'd expect all US M240's to have identical standard equipment.

Did you spec this? Or was this the dealer pre spec? This is not the premium package right? And yes wireless was supposed to be standard but who knows with chip shortage anymore |
