same here.. but if you get a port/VPC install... it will take longer..

I talked to BMW Genius and the MPE for the M240i has not been officially released yet. My parts manager got the same info from the BMW parts group. I'll have to wait for it to be installed. Sadly it takes a while for it to be made and approved for new models.

:

On the upside I'll be able to compare it to the stock exhaust...

Just got a call from my SA, my car is available to pick up, so yours should be there shortly.

Noooooo!

What is going on? I hope it's a mistake.

However there is some ongoing discussion about this here http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1299681

If you're not happy with it I'd be happy to take it off your hands

Just give the word

beemdoubleu2er · 09-09-2016, 01:43 AM

It's really odd. It wasn't listed in the ordering/pricing guides for the M240i. I didn't see it listed when I decoded my VIN so I hope I don't have them.

F1HAMMY · 09-09-2016, 02:23 AM

BMW Genuis has said my car has left the port on a truck 3 different times now. It's pretty much a shit show. Complicated by the fact that my SA cannot seemingly return a call or an email. BMW Prices and a Kia experience. Gotta love it.....

Wow, still this shit show?

Joe240 · 09-09-2016, 02:35 AM

I haven't heard of any 240s having fog lights yet. Wouldn't make sense for them to have fogs since they have auxiliary coolers in those spots. The 230s don't have auxiliary coolers do they?

Here's a question, do the 230s still have the open air curtains like the 228s did?

M240 does not have fog lights. I have looked at one at the dealer by me.

Yeah looks that way. Wondering if it's standard for the 230i in the US now even with the M Sport package.

Joe240 · 09-09-2016, 02:49 AM

Looks like it. This is the second one I believe with fogs. Have the 230 owners ran the vin decoder to see if fogs is listed?

...But the US pricing guide still shows that ZMP (M Sport package) deletes 520 (fog lights).

Joe240 · 09-09-2016, 03:02 AM

I have the build sheet that the dealers use at my house. I'll check on there when I get home from work. Wonder if it shows the delete on there.

Thats probably not 240. Mine does not have one.

lennyf · 09-09-2016, 03:27 PM

No fog lights on US bound M240i's.

LF · 09-09-2016, 03:31 PM

I took delivery of my M240i last night and can comment on a couple of things:
-no fog lights on mine either
-Apple CarPlay popped up right after I connected my phone via Bluetooth. It is wireless.

Nice! I was starting to think I was the only person to order Glacier Silver! Mine finally left Leipzig yesterday! I'm hoping to have it early October!

lennyf · 09-09-2016, 07:21 PM

Lucky you !!
Mine should go into production next week.

inc235 · 09-09-2016, 08:24 PM

I'm so happy now

I hope you get yours soon!
