Hopefully my M40d order will not suffer the plight of my X5 order which was cancelled due to HK availability. I could of optioned B&W but at £3250 I could not justify the cost on top of the £20k I had already spent on cost options!

If my M40d suffers any spec removal I will cancel.

Someone with an X3M order on this forum believes his car, being built now, won't have the HK system, which should be standard. I don't know if LCI/pre LCI model makes a difference, but it doesn't come much more premium in the X3 range.

Maybe BMW is hoping to have supply for Q4+ build cars, or just trying to delay bad news, but who knows.
I'm that guy. Just called BMWNA again today. They still don't see an HK in the system as
part of my car. They reiterated that it's highly unlikely that it's there. Car finished production today and gets assigned a window sticker tomorrow or the day after that. We'll know more then.

A couple of CAs have told me about orders being accepted and then taken back at the moment of creating the sticker. If I don't get, I doubt your car will because of what I mentioned regarding priority.

Hopefully you do! But I'm trying to keep everyone's expectation in check. I don't particularly care about it, but I know lots of people do.

Of course! What do you want me to show you?
I think the seat itself looks the same. It has fewer buttons.

There is a button that lets you adjust width on the sport seats. Think lumbar support, but for the sides of your abdomen. Something like that.

This button is only on the drivers side.

on 2022s? has any of them been delivered? They are managing the chip shortage better. It all depends on when you order as they update the ordering system daily to prevent any surprises. Sounds like it wasn't available when you ordered yours. I guess we'll see if anyone gets HK in the next few weeks.

We'll know soon enough. But I disagree, if my car finished today and I don't have it, I'm betting you won't either. Hopefully I'm wrong and I wish you guys to get it even if I didn't, not throwing hate into the world. Haha.

Check this post out. It speaks volume and wasn't done by chance. BMW modified its pictures to delete HK from them.

Wanted to chime in that one my car that's been on "production begins" for over a week now without any advancement, i checked and the "delete passenger width adjustment" is indeed checked off. However HK sound is apparently still a go, and nothing on the spec sheet about lumbar support..

Thanks, not possible to even select width adjustment with M Sport seats (which I've optioned) but I think that's a design limitation.

Any other deletions in your order apart from Wireless Charging? My order went in last week and due to be allocated this week. Was told no other deletions expected now for the rest of the year.

My order went in a few weeks ago and includes the HK as part of the Tech Plus Pack. The items on my dealer order that show as deletion are -

32Z Digital key deletion
48Z Deletion lumbar support/width adjustment passenger side
Z6W Deletion of wireless charging
ZAU Deletion driving assistant professional

I assume the last item would ordinarily be part of the Tech Plus Pack, but is being limited to M40 models (mine is a 30D M Sport), and the price is reduced accordingly.

I did notice earlier this week that the HK has now been removed from the Tech Pack in the BMW UK web configurator, and the pack price reduced by £650.

I believe Front Seat Width Adjustment is standard equipment on the sport seats and that the extra cost option lumbar support is only fitted to drivers seat.

I have optioned the M-Sport Seats and it annoys me that the front seat width adjustment is not available on the X3 LCI even though the M-Sport Seats are the exact items as fitted to the M340i/d which has both the seat width adjustment and if optioned lumbar support for both front seats, so it is not a design limitation!

Dang. Deletion of HK audio and driving assistance professional would be a deal breaker for me.

HK hasn't been deleted from my order, and in theory, I could stll get Driving Assistant Pro, but this would mean opting for the M40D. The cost difference isn't massive, I just don't want the 21" wheels on run flats.

Really? Why? I don't care for it but my significant other does. Seems like it makes highway driving a breeze, but curious to hear your input.
