Is Wireless Charging Back?

Weirdly enough, my vehicle (which has been on order since July) just "gained" Wireless Charging. I have taken snapshots periodically and I just noticed that in the Standard Features section, I no longer have Enhanced B/T and Smartphone In (Code 6NS) and now I have Wireless Charging (Code 6NW). Wireless Charging wasn't even on my initial order form.

Has anyone else seen this?

I don't want to hijack that one, so I'm starting a new thread.

Same goes for me. 11/16 build date and no wireless charging.

I ordered X5 today and wireless charging option came up on my dealers build sheet but not the one on the BMW site. So we added it. $500

$500 for just wireless charging?! IMHO, not worth it; this feature really has no benefit. you'll get much faster and reliable charging with USB cable or your own mounted wireless charging pad… for much less money, too

Aftermarket Wireless Chargers

HAVK 2022 Upgrade Wireless Car Charger Compatible with BMW X5 2019 2020 2021/X6 2020 2021 Center Console Accessory Panel, Qi 15W QC 3.0 Fast Charging for iPhone Samsung from Amazon

Check this wireless charger for BMW's. Has anyone tried anything like this? Pricey, but maybe worth the money if there are good reviews.

The stock wireless charger is very underpowered. Had it on my 540. It didn't come on my new X5 and I don't miss it at all.

It should be called a "wireless battery maintainer" because the best it'll do is maintain your charge. Regardless, you want it on a 2022 vehicle.

It is more than wireless charging and also includes the antenna booster.

Your phone (would not be surprised if it was an iphone) must be a power hog.
My Samsung S10+ charges when it's on the charging pad.

Is this where you give me the boomer argument of how much better Android phones are? I've had both.

Yes, tow hitch is back as an option available to add from the dealer, but not on the website.

$550 and included on my X5 40i order earlier this week.

Do some research before silly posting. There are hundreds of posts about this already.

I just ask my SA about the trailer hitch and he couldn't find that option. do you have the code or any other suggestions?

He did find the wireless charging.

Would wireless charging come with the executive package or is it 500 on top of any package?

I can't answer that as I only ordered the Premium Package. It was a $500 add on for me.

Just got on the site with my X6 order build mid February, nothing is deleted

The BMW stereo is still standard

I expect no wireless charging & hope it does Not come with it as I prefer the double side phone holders that have been put in stead of the horizontal low flat charge basin

All the other items you read have sometimes Been deleted - are all on the build
