Missing Software features

Hi guys,

So happy with my new M3. I was reading through the manual the other night and noticed references to features that i can't see in any of my idrive menus. A few examples include gesture control (not that i want it), red light stopping, lane change guidance etc.

My assumption is that these are available based on geography and that we don't get them in Au, but thought i'd ask just incase they had been removed as part of the whole camera issue for September deliveries.

My car is on a ship and not due till early Jan 22, but my understanding gesture control is part of these cars. Saying that, if there were changes with camera, then this could impact this.

Like you it would not bother me. If I get gesture I will turn it off anyway. Enjoy the car.

I just got my car a few weeks ago and it still has gesture control but I think it was part of the executive package or something like that. You can also turn it on / off, so if you got that package, check if it's on. Not sure about the other stuff. Still learning the car.

It may be to do with the global shortage of Semi Conductors!

I know many Manufactures are removing features etc from cars because of this issue.

I know that cheaper Toyota models currently are only getting one key with the vehicle.

The gesture controls are only there if you have the executive package.
