Reading these stories of decontenting makes me happy we bought the Merc wagon this spring when we did.
Our alternate plan was to order a new LCI X3 right around now, and we would have loaded it up with options. I would have been really p***ed if we got to this point only to be told we couldn't spec the car the way we wanted or worse put an order in and be told after the fact. Maybe we could have gotten what we wanted since we were going to get the B58 model, but in any case I'm happy I don't have to worry about it.

That said. I love the X3 and would have bought one had I not had a big wave of price consciousness. |

HUD removed and now this… Even the M40 is losing the SiriusXM & HD radio. Last edited by SCA; 09-24-2021 at 10:22 AM. |

I think you totally made the right choice keeping your 2er and getting the Mazda as a very nice 2nd car.

I am sure it is possible. FYI, a lot of German built BMWs are being shipped without radios and/or backup cameras, get to their U.S. port and a hold is being placed on them. Those missing items are being installed at port when they become available. It is delaying plenty of customer orders.

It appears they are prioritizing the higher-end cars for options, but even the 7 series has unavailable options. Sucks for people looking to buy right now.
