Glass Controls Now Missing from Executive Package?

Checked my order status this morning and noticed that Glass Controls had moved from Executive Package 2 to Added Options. I went to the build your own site and noticed that Glass Controls no longer show in the Executive Package when configuring a new build. In addition to this, there is now a $0 option for HK in the Options section. This is becoming very confusing and frustrating.

Thanks for sharing. They did the same thing on my order. I guess it doesn't matter where they list it as long as it is in the vehicle.

Yeah. I'm assuming this is a precursor to an "Executive Package 3" which removes the Glass Controls. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone planning to place an order soon.

And now Glass Controls have been added back to the Executive Package in the ByO website

I wouldn't trust the website which seems to change whenever it wants to. You need to speak to your dealership so they can talk to the vehicle coordinator or whoever builds manages the dealerships ordering/allocations. If a vehicle is affected with parts shortage and your production needs to be amended, the dealership usually gets a list of VIN's that are affected or will be affected - no need to guess based on something that is not accurate.

Missing glass Volume button

I’ve got a 2022 M50i with executive package/glass controls. Wondering if the manufacturer installed the wrong volume button which is the black face instead of a glass face. Name:  587520AB-B5E0-4644-ABBA-53196316E0A0.jpg

Took delivery of my '22 M50i two weeks ago and also have a black volume button. Was not aware this too was supposed to be glass.

The glass volume button was removed a few years ago.

Cost cutting the most likely reason.

I wasn’t able to find an OEM crystal knob but did come across an after market one on amazon for $17. https://www.amazon.com/Jaronx-Compat...d_gw_ci_mcx_mi
