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?

My dealer just called up to inform wireless charging is gone from my build (BW24). They did not have information on MSRP credit.

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 guess you are lucky since you have the VIN. It’s gone from MyBMW for me.

I don't yet have a VIN, but still showing up in MyBMW. Hopefully it stays that way...

I'm also Week 24 but I still see Premium Package 2.

The question is, do I trust it?

You might be the last one to get it and I might be the first one to lose it. Oh well.

If it's any consolation, I lost HK and cannot add Driver Pro and am really not excited about getting this car...at all.

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.

I believe this means going forward, wireless CarPlay won't be an option...only wired.

I still see EBT for executive package online -- does this impact premium only?

I also see it for Premium on the website as well.

I get the sense the online builder hasn't yet been updated.

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.

Yeah I'm suddenly feeling very nervous about my order, losing enhanced bluetooth is a definite cancelled order for me.

I went from P2 > P3 literally just this morning, so no updates yet.

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.
