Confused about options
I just took delivery of my 21 M5c that was supposed to be ED originally.
- I noticed that we couldn't add the entertainment screens for the rear seats, but some other countries still have them. Any reason why BMW removed them? - I ordered extended leather because I did not want to have the glove compartment and lower door panels in Aragon Brown. The dashboard was supposed still be leather and it also appears leather in the configurator. The dash that the car showed up with is plain, just like my 2018 530e. Would love to see what your dashboards look like with extended leather. TIA

Dashboard should be sensatec (4AW) with the extended leather option. Full leather includes the leather dash (4M5).

I screwed myself then. In the configurator it looked like it was leather and couple people on the forums also confirmed that they would be leather when I was building the car. I guess next time I should go by trust but verify idea.

Yeah, I only trust the order guides, definitely not the CAs. I edited my post before I noticed you replied, but the official order guide states sensatec dash (4AW) is included, and then in the notes that full merino interiors add the leather dash (4M5) automatically. The CA probably couldn't tell the difference between the sensatec and merino dash.

What happened with the entertainment screens for 2021 models? Why are they no longer available?

There are supply chain issues with various parts this year on BMWs. Just off the top of my head I know the heated/cooled cupholders were pulled from the majority of the 2021 X5s, along with laser lights.

Yes I can confirm that one. I actually noticed it in person looking at a 2020 M5 on the lot a few months back, one with full and non-full merino. At first I was trying to justify the $3500 for the lower dash to be leather but the the full merino option also includes merino leather on the dash and upper door areas (above the door handle and trim) as opposed to the grainy sensatec material. If others were wondering, that is the option for full merino. I can see the $3500 price for all those areas. However, I still think that should be standard for an M5 with a base of 100K.

I think it might be to keep costs low as I know other BMWs cost much more in other countries compared to what we pay here in the states so I can't complain about that. |
