Decided to just go for it and made some updates and have confirmed the build with my local dealer. Now, just to wait for 8 months...

Why are the gauges just a tablet stuck on the dash???

Because Tesla did it.

Because its literally cheaper these days (unless there happened to be a global chip shortage reinforced by a pandemic and runaway inflatio----oh)

Analog tach/gauges are going to end up being luxury car features like the analog clocks in rolls and poo poo today lmao Also I would absolutely pay extra for an analog tach, everything else I could probably be okay with digital if I had to

Crunchy Black posted:Because its literally cheaper these days I've accepted that digital clusters are going to be the way going forward until analog gauges become a high end luxury option as someone else mentioned. I don't care for the ones I've seen but I'm sure it's something you get used to very quickly. That is not a good way to do it though. BMW has digital clusters in the regular 3 and 4 series that are a more traditional setup and look worlds better. You don't have to do that poo poo to be like Tesla just because it's an electric car. Outside of that I think the interior looks great. e: I just realized the whole thing is one long tablet. My god

Huh, my dealer just gave me an FYI that the German factory just cleared its calendar for week 48+, like literally took All The Cars off the calendar and now has a totally blank schedule for December and beyond Probably nothing

MINI did a month long pause in August at Oxford and Nedcar to let the parts supply catch up enough so that they weren't producing at like 1/4 capacity. Maybe they are doing the same thing.

18 buttons on that MBZ steering wheel. Just go F1 wheel at this point with a "drinks" button. Apparently Lewis Hamilton doesn't have a "drinks" button. FAIL Keyser_Soze fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Nov 23, 2021 |

It's a bad sign regardless because that's a really late change to build schedules. Time to switch your order to an X3M so you can drive a new BMW within the next year

On the plus side your dashboard's tablet will be outdated by the time you get it, instead of having to wait 9-18 months like normal new car buyers

The order is canceled. If I'm gonna wait 6-12 months for a car it may as well be a Porsche

You could probably buy a good M car for what you were trying to buy an M////////// badge upgrade package 3 series for, and get it much faster too. The tablet isn't great. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2013-bmw-m3-92/

Guilia QV then like the poster a page or two ago  They don’t have any tech so you don’t even have to worry about chip shortage affecting production! Bonus points for a much prettier car to boot!

Just imagine if everyone and their mothers wouldn't use tablets as dashes and instead opted for actual gauges on most models. Hell, might even put a dent into the supply issue
