It's been reported in the X5 and X7 forums Night Vision and Rear Seat Entertainment have been dropped as well and Bowers and Wilkins Sound only on M50i and up trims.
I'm sure they were low take but I'm sure they were charging enough to make it work. Hopefully as supply chains return the features will to, otherwise I might I have to keep my lease, love the Night Vision and the Mediterranean Blue. |

didn't know F10 would have auto rear side sun shade. I have auto rear sun shade (again part of executive?) but not auto rear "side" sun shade (just manual), thought the side one is useful because got 3 years old (she fell into asleep and I can just press a button) |

I skipped Night Vision and B&W because they weren't worth the money for me. I'm a fan of good audio, but I don't spend enough time in the car to spend that much on audio just for the car. But I went both ways on Night Vision. I could see it tipping me over the edge in a package. Especially since I added the Executive Package mainly for the upgraded headlights. Soft close doors as a low take item is a strange one too, because they didn't eliminate the Executive Package entirely and it comes only in the package in MY2020. I suspect, as other said, it is either supplier related or cost cutting ahead if a brutal year ahead for cars. I just peaked back at the press release for MY2021 and compared that to MY2020 ordering guide. For MY2021 The Executive Package only adds: * Ceramic Controls * Power Rear Sunshade (still manual side shades). Unless they drop the price a LOT I can't see that being a package many would pick up. MY2020 the Executive Package was $1600 more than the Convenience Package, but since it included the lighting package it was really only about $600 more. The power rear sunshade is cool, but I def wouldn't opt for it + Ceramic controls for $1600 (skipped Ceramic on my car as is ). Last edited by LogicalApex; 06-05-2020 at 10:32 PM..

Laser lights were also an upgrade on the pre-LCI 5 in other markets so them continuing to skip the US isn’t unheard of. Perhaps they may offer it in MY2022 or later when they feel market conditions improve? https://www.bmwusanews.com/newsrelease.do?id=3595&mid= |

I'll ask my client advisor, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

I usually leave my side shades up all the time, more for privacy than anything else.

They've also built in some additional profit with the deletion of the Luxury Seating Package. As a package in the 2020 car, it was $1,200. In the MY 2021 as two separate elements (front ventilated and front massaging) the price is up $300 (based off my build sheet). I am a fan of the night vision system and sorry to see it dropped. I live in an area where there is a lot of wildlife, and for trips through the woods at dusk/night, I thought it was a good additional safety feature, particularly since the system was always on after dark in its latest iteration. As far as upgrading to the B&W stereo, 16 speakers and 600 watts from the B&O standard system is more than enough for a car with an interior volume that's less than 40 sq ft.

Interesting - they kept the soft close door option for the M5, but not for the other trim lines in the 5.

When I compared to my 2020 order I was going to place to my 2021 build based on the price sheet, the 2021 appears cheaper. Is anyone else seeing that too? |

Option 453 - $500 Option 4T7 - $1,000 The 2020 Pricing Guide shows both options as part of the luxury seating package for $1,200. Base price went up only $150 from 2020 to 2021 from what I can see.

RE: my other post, I'm also guessing that the $30,000 increase in price to get you to an M5 over a M550i covers the cost of the equipment and installation of the soft close doors, etc.

Does anyone know if the LCI will feature the touchscreen for the climate controls in the USA? I know other markets had it as an option on the pre-lci 5 series and the pre-lci M5 had it as part of the executive package in the USA.

The best I can offer you is a close up clip from the high-res photo of the LCI 540i's climate control that was in BMW's press release to compare with your photo. It certainly looks the same (assuming your photo is pre-LCI).

Well, we're getting closer to my production week (Week 27). I should be seeing the car move to "Production Begins" status next week or the week after.

I have one on order status "Scheduled for Production" haven't received production week date yet. I was under the impression production on MY21 was 7/1.
