Yes, credit to the MSRP. You aren't paying for the option then losing it and having the dealer pocket the money lol.. I didn't think this required clarification…

What about the audio? No audio? I was under the Impression that BMWs position during the shortage was to cannibalize or divert limited chip supply towards their premium models like The M cars? It would be surprising if they truly did that as I’m sure they would lose customers... but who knows, we shall see

I'm just letting you guys know exactly what Genius just told me. Not alleging any of these things myself.
Clearly they won't build a car without a sound system. I would think that as they are receiving a trickle supply of semiconductors, they are using them for the sound system rather than the other options listed because it is a 100% must-have component. As far as lumbar support adjustment or passenger seat extension adjustment go- those are far less necessary than a basic sound system. Tesla just this year stopped putting adjustable lumbar support in the Model 3 and Y because their fleet data indicated that a staggeringly high percentage of buyers never once touched it. Again, I'm not saying this is right or wrong of them to do. Just reporting.

Idk maybe your team buckets vs non bucket seats I’d take the carbon buckets if they ditch the ventilation.... hopefully they give us the option to switch or should I just change now and avoid the struggle Last edited by RgEstate; 09-17-2021 at 06:05 PM.. |

That already has been happening on regular 3-series. I know a few guys that had "Passenger Lumbar Support" deleted, though, they got something in return like Live Cockpit Pro. It would be hard to offer some extra options for most of us.

I will be shocked if the M3 is stripped down of those features as one of their premium models... but your right, you never know in these unprecedented times... this really has me thinking about switching to carbon buckets... I don’t want to get stuck with regular seats no options 😒

That's actually what you want, especially on track. But yeah, if you are seriously tracking the car, get the buckets. Buckets hold you in much better, especially at the limit. I'm big built but very used to being in race seats/harnesses but for a daily driver I don't want or need that. Of course the carbon buckets look sick...

I got booted from week 40 to 42 and was just told I am now a member of week 44!
Looks like Christmas is ruined now..lol. Sounds like we will have our cars around new years or later. = (

I've been told by both genius and my dealer that week 44 should be arriving right around Christmas. However here in LA we are only like an hour drive from the port of arrival.

I've been told I'm week 44 but without a production number. Anyone else in the same situation? I suppose it's just an estimate in their system and it could change, but for now I'll have anxiety in here. My build is pretty basic...6MT, Alpine white on black, carbon seats, led lights, 826m bi color.
