My car left the factory on Monday and arrived at port this morning. Maybe I'll hitch a ride over with you.

Are you still at the Bremerhaven or in transit?

Still there. Since the 19th "at the port".
No matter how many times I check it doesn't move

Here I am thinking the battle was won when the car was dispatched. Now I have another "enhancement" open (sidenote: I'd like to meet the group of assholes who ok'd the use of the term enhancement as code for making the customer wait). I tried searching for this new defect 0066640100 with no results so I asked the dealer. For sanity sake I'm done checking on anything car related for this month. Getting more and more pissed as time goes on.

Just had the same pop up for me. Anyone know what this defect code (0066640100) refers to?

These "enhancements" are the corona virus of cars. No one knows wtf is going on.

Dealer got back to me about defect code 0066640100. Says they have no info on "Retrofit PMA Control Unit" (shocker). After some lazy googling it looks to be something related to parking maneuvering assistant? Was anyone able to get the 3d parking assist / auto parking. I didn't even see it listed as an option to purchase when I was building the car in October.

Appreciate you getting some intel here. Some have been successful in getting BMW to add the Parking Assistant, but I was not and have the same code as you. Based on that, this must be related to the backup camera. Getting ridiculous…

NP. yea i keep trying to remind myself pandemic blah blah blah but more info from dealer would help. Almost feel like bmw Germany is withholding info on purpose so dealers don't over promise and make it a bigger clusterfuck.

In light of all of this uncertainty, I wound up cancelling my order in favor of an in stock car that my dealer just got in yesterday. Same color combo I wanted, so I took the sure thing and picked it up tonight. I wish you guys all the best and hope you get your cars soon.

It's the open pore ash trim. Had a high gloss wood in my last one and the fingerprints drove me crazy.

If you have nothing to do, I'm curious. I paid 3% under for this m550 lease and paid 9% under 3 years ago for a base X3

That seems about right. Also submitted my BMW CCA rebate form last night, so that $1k back will be nice too.
