Well, looks in as though soft close doors and laser lights are, in fact, missing.

Removed from 2021 are:

Merino Leather
Night Vision
Soft Close Doors
Laser Lights
New for 2021 are:
Remote Engine Start
Red Brake Calipers
Anyone know if the Adaptive Full LED lights on the 2021's are like what's on the 2018-2020 G30's or like what BMW is using on the G05 X5's where the lights are dumbed down?

Now I'm really upset that my 2020 order was canceled. I normally order heavily optioned BMW's which are difficult to find locally so I'm SOL getting a 2020 from inventory.

To be fair Laser Lights weren’t an option in MY2020 US either.

They are probably weakened lights. As the Laser Lights were designed to outperform the base lights from a technical perspective, but the laser lights on the X5 underperformed the pre-LCI Adaptive LEDs on the G30 according to IIHS testing.

Looks like BMWUK build site shows laser lights, bowers and wilkins, and m-sport seats! Damn those seat look good. Didn't notice soft close or not but would be a nice option.

I'm not sure I believe that. Our X5 with laser lights do show an improvement over my G30 with adaptive LEDs. The laser lights are speed sensitive so it's possible that laser lights don't work as well in specific condition.

You're right that the pre-LCI G30 didn't have laser lights but it's pretty lame not to include it as an option on the G30 considering the 3-series and 7-series does. Even in 2021 the G20 models have it although it looks to have been dropped on the 7 but still available on the X5 and X7.

It surprised me as well as I expected laser lights to be clear and outright winners. But IIHS data doesn’t agree. And they do scientific quality testing to verify headlight performance across cars.

What is the difference between the 2021 5 Driver’s Assistance Plus and the 3 Series Driver’s Assistance Pro? Not sure why the 2021 5 does not at least match the 3 Series.

I just ordered my first BMW, the 2021 M550i. Expected delivery Mid to late August.

After six Audi’s, I’m looking forward to the change.

Anyone know if night vision was just removed due to COVID supply issues? Looks like its been removed from all 2021 models for now...anyone heard whether it will return eventually?

Like most things in this area, no one knows unfortunately. BMW cited "low take" as the reason for dropping these features, but that doesn't tell an accurate story. For instance, soft close doors was dropped, but the Executive Package that they are included in wasn't dropped so it seems odd you'd have a lower take rate on one item in a package that isn't available outside of that package.

Time will tell if these features come back in the future.

Here is my build order, as requested, along with a few photos from the German BMW Visualizer since the US website still shows the MY2020 M550i.

My dealer tells me to expect a late August delivery. I'm looking forward to my new ride after owning 6 Audi A6 and S6 models.

The first week I have the car, I plan on getting a 30% ceramic window tint installed on all windows except the windshield. I have this on my current car, a 2017 Audi S6, and it looks awesome. It also keeps it cooler inside the car.
