Sorry I know this is slightly off-topic, as it regards model change year for the X6.
Does anybody know if Riverside Blue Metallic has been dropped for X6? I've ordered a Riverside Blue X6, scheduled late June/early July build, and delivery early September by the time it arrives to the UK. Reason I ask is that BMW UK configurator no longer shows Riverside Blue Metallic as on option, instead in favour of the Phytonic Blue. I have wondered if this is just an error with the UK configurator, but have looked at other European countries (Germany, Belgium, France), and all show the same situation - no Riverside Blue option now available. I'm now really concerned that my build is going to be cancelled. Dealer is closed because of COVID, and there is no option to track your build status in the UK. This would be my third BMW, and there has been a problem between order and delivery with the previous two (i.e. 1 year for a 4 Series to arrive, hence my concern!) Hoping someone can maybe shed light on the situation. Thanks in advance! |

deliveries for customers through Europe. Picking up my 650i M Edition coupe in 2014 was one of my most memorable experiences. Sure X vehicles have eclipsed sedans & coupes, but plenty of US customers still buy them. Combined with Performance center delivery it is a fantastic journey that now cannot be had. And the ED discount was excellent. Hope they bring it back someday. |

More than just some software changes and programming?

The 2021 Order Guide on the 7 series forum includes many other models. Looks like Acoustic Glass, Off-Road Package and Luggage Compartment Package are gone as well.

That is strange. Couldn't it be that they have made some standard. Like luggage compartment and acoustic glass. Like the DAB tuner is included too.

I saw some changes specific for the 45e in the ordering guide.
They wil install a sound when turning the car on and off. I don't have any issues with that now but with my 40e I remember in the beginning sometimes I forgot the car was stil running Preconditioning will also make it possible to activate seat ventilation. And activating seat, steering wheel, mirror and camera heating. Probably a (OTA) software update will make this possible. |

When reading the 2021 US included option list you have a lot of options included standard that we have to pay for in Europe:
Comfort acces Moonroof Alarm Privacy glass Garage door opener Active safety Active blindspot detection It's a shame they put some options only in package and don't let you chose single options. For example can you order non ventilated merino seats? They have softer non perforated leather And like mentioned no acoustic windows, no H&k and also no 22 inch wheels on the 40i? Strange. Probably commercially inspired because we can still order our European X5 from the same US factory. Maybe trying to sell more V8's and trying to empty a stock? They are practically not sellable in Europe because of our taxes |

No more Ametrin and Tanzanite on the 40i, no more leather dashboard or alcantara headliner on the 40i and no more Full Merino. I sure hope this is all due to COVID-19 and more options come back later in the year or next year.

Glad I ordered Integral Active Steering (not available for 2021) and Luxury Seating Package (2020 - $1600) when I did.
With 4T7 front massage seats as a separate option for 2021, order ZLS (2021 - $1000) + 4T7 ($1000) = $400 price increase. Bummer with leather dashboard only available on M50i for 2021.

If this was the case it would have been the same for European orders, they come from the same factory. And we can still order all options for all engines (ok some executions for the 45e because if the battery). But we just have to wait 6-12 months before we can drive it.

But you are correct lots of price, lease and even software, tires, adaptive light discussions are geographically specific. Like the 740M wheels are staggered in Europe and 275 all around in the US. |

I agree....I hope it does. The current power is okay but to get the numbers BMW claims, is nearly impossible. The bump in HP would be a welcome gain.
