My (now on holiday) dealer assured me my July 30th (now sometime in August) delivery will have the 'latest' software - but of course that could be the 2012 software if the 2013 version is still not released

I ordered mine for mid-September delivery but I think I'll ask my dealer to postpone for two weeks if possible. |

I ordered my car (company lease) in June. I was told that week 27 builds onwards would get the new navigation. Only when the car was on the boat did BMW "fess-up" and state that the new nav had been bumped to week 36+ cars.
I don't want the old tech so I cancelled the car. Order will be re-placed when I know the vehicles are shipping with the shiny new stuff! |

Who told you week 36+? Is this confirmed?
That puts the change for Sept builds which is also when the Euro cars get the new digital 6WB dash cluster that the US cars won't get until next year. Damn BMW couldn't make this shiet more complicated for us. Alan

Obsessed? Me?
I just had a look at the press release that covers this. Interestingly, it is dated 10th July. The release only gives dates for new features that will be introduced at a later date, such as the touchpad and LTE hotspot. To me, that would suggest the new 609 is from 10th July but then what do I know? https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/press...tem=node__2369

"The new Multi Media Package is not in effect on 5 series until week 36 which is September build." I will be contacting my lease company on Monday to explore how I can cancel my order. This is classic bait and switch as BMW issued a global press release advising all 5 series would have the new system from July build. I ordered a 5 series because of that but now my order is placed they have changed it. What's worse is that they obviously weren't going to say anything unless I'd asked! The trickery with the configurator is pretty sneaky too. At first sight it looks like the 609 section is unchanged. Look more closely however, and it turns out they've removed the description 12GB and just left it as integrated HDD. No size given so it's nice and ambiguous. Way to screw over your customers. I feel gutted. What was looking to be a pleasant event (delivery of the new car with the new system) is instead leaving me feeling angry and cheated. I don't use the word cheated lightly.

My car is scheduled to be delivered at the BMW Welt on Sept 15, which is end of week 37. Does anyone know when would be the expected production week?

I am scheduled for ED for Aug 31st. Its going to be bad if it's not there. I have purchased air tickets and made hotel reservations so I can't even cancel. Do I have a chance or choice.

I think you'll find that BMW will not actually shaft the US customers - just the schmucks in the UK...

They do get away with these stuff... Plus I dont want to wait another 8+ weeks haha well.... Time will tell, and pretty soon as a matter of fact, as the east coasters get to have their 5ers before we do.

I think it will go into production on September 3rd. That's what my CA told me, 2 weeks prior to actual delivery date.

Arnsbrae, have you had anything confirmed to you from the dealer as yet? I'd rather cancel my order and wait a few more weeks if I know a definite date when the next gen nav will be shipped. Really glad I started this thread now. Or am I? Maybe ignorance is bliss... |
