I'm a week 20 build and currently status 112. I was notified today that wireless charge is again available to add to builds and am wondering if its worth it to add it for the $500. This seems like a simple retrofit by just buying the oem wireless charger correct? Just looking for some input. Thanks!

I have a MY2021 with wireless charging and it works as expected. I use an Android phone without any overheating problems, so dunno why others are having problems.

Same here. Phone has sat on the wireless charging pad for 30-40 mins sometimes and I pick it up and its not warm. Android has their shit together I guess

This is a fairly easy retrofit though correct? I have no problem adding it myself for the cost of the OEM part over the order price of $500. Unless BMW has updated/upgraded the part I dont see any savings ordering it now prior to production. Thoughts? (Wirelss charge debate aside)

In my current ride, I use an after-market wireless charger which hold my Android phone via a magnet. Works great and no warming issues. I'll probably just transfer that setup to the new car. An advantage of my setup is that I can easily glance at the phone screen while driving (don't touch - but it is OK to look, right?)

Don’t even retrofit. Just get a plug in wireless charger. I snagged this one - didn’t even use the adhesive. Popped in. Has 10W charging instead of the 5W of the built in.
$96. Ships on the slow boat so take a couple of weeks to get here though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HHQLNN7...QE78G8W62TEJGE |

iPhones are terrible, never get one. I used my wireless charger all the time in my 2020 X3MC and loved it. Was nice that my phone fit on the charger too as I have a rather large phone that doesn't fit on all of them.

This is the one I use. IPhone 13 Pro Max fits as does the Samsung S21 Ultra. It fast charges and adds a usb power port. Does not block factory USB port.

Mine just went status 150. I ordered the OEM wireless charger part from bmwpartsworldwide(dot)com for $180 as I want to keep everything OEM. And Ive got an Android phone. Apparently iphones dont charge well w the OEM solution. Wirelss charging is slow but its nice to have so I may do a writeup when I do my retrofit.

Yes, I have this one in my '22 and I really like it. It looks like it belongs there. My iPhone does get a little warm on it. It really looks OEM.
