Ordering 45e - Wireless Charging Option
Hi all,
I am ordering a 45e and the dealer informed me that Wireless Charging is not an option currently due to the shortage. It is part of the 6NW option that also includes Comfort Telephony. Now I can live with not having the wireless charging option, but I am not clear what the exact differences are between the basic bluetooth option 6NH and the 6NW Comfort Telephony option. It is described as: Bluetooth telephony including double microphone & voice control, 8 watt roof antenna and parallel connection of two phones and one audio streaming device. The dealer tells me that basic Bluetooth (6NH) will be ordered, and that it is the same and voice control is included, and also no difference in quality (like microphones). Any experience if this is indeed correct - so no differences in quality for specifically phone usage over bluetooth? |

Does it show up as missing in your garage on MyBMW? I'm wondering if mine will be missing wireless charging (I have a VIN and my garage claims my car has wireless charging).

I have the wireless charging option on my car and imho you'll be fine without it. It's more of a trickle top up / maintenance kind of thing rather than a full your-phone-will-be-fully-charged-when-you-leave-the-car kind of thing. Keep a cable in the center armrest and use that if you find yourself in the rare occasions when your phone is absolutely dying. It's a less elegant solution but the other thing is that the charging tray is kind of in an awkward position and you can't see the top half of the screen when it's in there so I almost never use it. I can't speak to the signal boost its supposed to give because I live in LA so there's generally great reception everywhere but if you live out in the sticks then it might be useful.
The loss of driver pro on the other hand is a very big deal. it's excellent. I use it all the time and (although I see its still available on the build site) if its not available now then I honestly would reconsider my purchase. Hope this helps. |

I have HK and wireless charging in my 30e and I could care less that my new 45e wont have it. The HK system in BMWs is really not very good. I'm going to try the Bavsound system this time around.
Regarding wireless charging, it really can't keep up with your phone while using CarPlay. I just plug my phone into one of the USB-C ports even though I paid for wireless charging. I wouldn't have made the mistake of paying for that a second time. |

Just worried about losing more things before it goes to Production Begins status. Did your dealer tell you anything about credit BMW will give for taking away stuff? My dealer had not received any information. That was early last week.

I'll find out today. In terms of credit, Wireless Charging and EBT come with the Convenience Package which has a price of $0 on the builder. I wouldn't put it past BMW to offer a credit of the same amount. |
