Laserlights
I checked in with my rep this morning to ask if Laserlights not originally included in my order could be added (March build). He said he'd have to get back to me on Monday, but so far none of the vehicles they've ordered have been able to be to get Laserlights. Is this one of the items that is being affected by the supply chain issues?

I read a lot is this thread … I'm hoping if something were to get nixed like CarPlay they could add it retroactively. Our Yukon we just had built won't come with heated seats bc it's missing a chip but supposedly they will be able to add it later easily …. For what it's worth …

I spoke to my dealer, who indicated that other than Laser Lights he expects I will get my March build as configured. However, he said they won't know for sure until the car is delivered. I thought the factory would confirm the order prior to production start, is this correct?

My dealer here in the UK has said things are being resolved as time goes on so what may be an issue now may not affect me (week 6 build I think) but he did mention that as it stands CarPlay/AA is not enabled from factory and BMW will push an update to enable this between April-June.
He also mentioned that the touchscreen deletion was a thing and when the build is locked in prior to production, we'll know if it's getting deleted or not. If it is, I can walk away or BMW will give me a £500 goodwill gesture to make up for its absence. |

Unrelated anecdote: Last year we ordered some Polywood outdoor furniture, and it took nearly four months to arrive. I just ordered another set this past Monday, and it's set to arrive on Saturday.
Ergo, all these shipping/inventory/chip issues must be resolved by now.

We always have to remember that BMW makes different decisions for different markets as well, and a restriction or deletion that affects one market won't necessarily affect others. So if a buyer in Canada is dealing with a restriction, that doesn't mean it will necessarily affect a buyer in the U.K., or the U.S.A., etc. or vice-versa.

Hi guys, in regards with the laser headlight, upon delivery of my car just couple weeks ago, the dealer told me on the spot that my car isn't equipped one due to chip shortage even though its part of my build. Yeah real bummer! I asked them if they can add it if they become available, but they said I might end up paying the whole amount...$8k(canadian)? nvm

My dealer informed me last week that Gesture Control was deleted duebto chip shortage. No issue for me as I would deactivate it anyway. Fingers crossed nothing else gets removed. I am in Switzerland so deletions over here might be different. Expected delivery got pushed back by another 5 weeks...

Not sure. I was annoyed with yet another delay that I didn't bother asking. But as you say it's part of the Executive Package so I doubt so. Will raise that point for sure. |

I am in the commercial vehicle OEM manufacturing business (and have many years experience in car engineering and manufacturing - although unfortunately not with BMW!) and while the supply situation has dramatically improved over the last few months it remains highly volatile.
We are still getting, in some cases with less than 48 hours notice from scheduled start of vehicle build, notice that parts will not be shipped or will be delivered with reduced functionality. I assume BMW has a little more control and visibility of their supply chain but I suspect in frequent cases they too are getting ‘surprised’. The whole industry is living hand to mouth on parts supply right now. Once a vehicle is within days or hours of assembly, pulling it from production because of parts issues is very hard and disruptive to the sequencing of part delivery to the assembly line. I know this is no comfort to anyone whose G8X gets built without a feature that was purposefully selected, but it is an unfortunate fact of life, at least for now.

Is it part of the Canadian exec package? It is not for 2022 in the US, was a separate $1000 line item (which thankfully, my dealer warned me about, seems like not all got that same warning).
