Update....Dealer issued VIN by request, mdecoder and my app does not recognise it...any ideas?

Mdecoder worked for me as soon as build was completed, didn’t work on MyBMW for me either - well not until I picked up car.

He did say my car is on its way to the Belgium Port though.

Shouldn’t be long now then - exciting times! Interesting it’s going via Belgium, as most seem to go via Cuxhaven/Bremerhaven - unless the dealer has got it wrong of course.

Dealer wrong I reckon....I have since contacted Genius and they said last stage of build process, that would explain VIN not working if build not fully complete.

Genius also confirmed deletion of Wifi functions and this includes Apple Car Play and deletion of iDrive touch controller, not sure if this the screen or controller as I have seen other questions about this on here a while back. Wifi functions will return with software update.

Hopefully it's the touchpad on top of the iDrive controller rather than the touchscreen itself.

[ref]Russ Z4[/ref], Jesus. Did the police have any sympathy for you when you proved what happened?

Any apology from BMW?

Police were quite apologetic when they realised the situation I had been in.

I was disappointed by BMWs response - if I recall, they offered to top up my petrol tank... which I think was already over 3/4 full. My initial buying experience of the Z4 was pretty poor also, I stood in the dealership being ignored for an hour and finally walked out. It finally came to a head when I had a big rant at the horrendous experiences I've had over the years with that particular dealer and said screw it, I'm going to go Alpine or Porsche.

I feel like I really could not really recommend them - however, the sales person that I am now dealing with understood all my gripes, acknowledged that my experiences had been unacceptable sh1te - and to give her her due, I've been very happy with my experiences with her. She's said she's going to do her best to try and make good of my bad experiences.

It's pretty terrible that I dread having to go into the dealership, whether it be for sales or service. (Service... wow, now there's some pants experiences)
 
Update....Genius say 8200, released to carrier....

Not sure what my dealer was on about last week saying its on its way to Belgium port :x

Not too long to go now.
 
you'll need the touchscreen in it. i couldn't accept it. CarPlay and BMW's system need the ability to touch the screen. its a better user experience. imagine an iPad with only a mouse and thats how it will feel.

This is exactly what I was thinking. On a car this expensive why on earth would you accept the lack of a touch screen? FFs, our Hyundai Tucson has a touch screen!!

My wife has a Seat Ibiza and that has lights that look round corners which is a £900 extra on a Z4

Great news - should be with you very soon now! :driving:
 
Update...At Sea, code 9620.

Delivery expected next week. Went down to dealership last week to give them my registration certificate. Sales guy wants it all done by 31st so figures go into the first qtr....he only handed over one new car in February.
 
Excellent news, no fancy holidays for those relying on new car sales commissions then :lol:

It’s not that long ago but at the end of June 2021, when I was picking up my G29, I was the first of 5 new cars, from my salesman alone, getting collected that day.
