Head-up display shortage. Removed from Executive Package (US)
My dealer tried to place the order for my 45e today, but learned that there's a supply shortage impacting the head-up display and BMW has chosen to remove it from the Executive package and reduce the price to $3300. The head-up display is still included in the Premium package. I had originally chosen Executive, but the head-up display is a must have option for me and I was only really choosing Executive to get the Laser lights, so I have opted to go with the Premium package. Just wanted to let others know in case they planned to order in the US any time soon. I have no idea if this impacts markets outside of the US.

someone posted in another thread the HK system is now standard, but that's not what I see in the list of standard features. It appears to be completely removed. (maybe it's standard in a different market?) |

I just ordered an X6 yesterday, and I can confirm the HK system is no longer available due to shortages. I believe they took off $650 from the price of the car. So I added the alcantara headliner, which is more important to me.

Getting back to the original topic asking about the HUD, any confirmation of that? It’s still showing as part of both the Executive and Premium packages on the build configurator for the 45e, and the price still shows $4850 for the Executive package.

But maybe you are aware of this cost cutting move by BMW for the North American market. |

I've yet to see further confirmation of this change to the Executive Package. I'm starting to wonder if my dealer might have confused the HK removal with head-up display. My recommendation would be to check the build sheet on any order placed currently to ensure head-up display is listed under Premium or Executive packages in the US if you truly want that feature.

Signed for 45e yesterday (2/24).
Dealer advised that HK audio is not available. Price of Premium package reduced by $750 as a result (now $1800). No mention of any issue with Heads up display. Received my Vehicle Inquiry report last evening. Design associated includes heads up display. Logged into BMW website this morning. Production number assigned to my vehicle includes Heads Up display. Premium package no longer includes HK audio and has been renamed as Premium Package 2 . |

My order was submitted on 2/12/21 and was assinged a VIN stating it's in the production process as of 2/19/21 and I am seeing both HUD and Harmon Kardon included in the executive package

I’m beginning to think that there was just a mistake in that someone said HUD but really meant the HK audio. Also, based on the postings here, it seems like the HK cutoff was around 2/21, so your order probably got in just under the wire.

I ordered mine 2/19. Called today. Order is "on hold". Whatever that means. If I punch in the order number is comes up with an X7 model. The vehicle inquiry sheet shows the premium package 2, without HK, even though I signed for the 2800 premium package. The inquiry sheet that was printed out today has it at $2050. BMW really screwed up the messaging on this. Not a minor detail that you offer a little discount for. Looks like the situation is what it is. Take it or cancel the order.

Also, not having a heads up display would probably not be a deal breaker for me, but its such an amazing feature to have. Can live without it but if available, def get it! |

I got my order in May 24 and was lucky with an existing dealer allocation. But H&K was already gone. Missed it by a couple of weeks, maybe even less. I was so mad and almost bought a Q8 instead. But then I went and sat in the BMW and cranked the radio with my playlist for 20 min and it all sounded decent enough...maybe a bimmertech speaker upgrade will do. Everything else processed but My Garage is not updating status and the car is scheduled to finish production tomorrow.
