Aiden- this is showing on the App with car locked away in the garage with nothing running. Only thing I will say is unlike your GTE I haven't noticed any drop in range with the extras running.

You need to get it booked in with service then🙈

[quote=Vik76]Guys, I charge the car everyday. Slowly electric range on 100% charge is creeping down. The attached screenshot used to show 23 miles now on 100% charge it shows 18 miles. Bit worrying considering I only had the car on the 3rd of June.
Can anyone clarify how much electric range is shown in the App when the car is fully charged.


Mine's shown the same decrease, which I assume is just the car learning how many miles there are according to your driving style.

Mine now shows 16 miles when fully charged.

Can anyone that didn't order split rear folding seats confirm if the rear seats still fold, I'm told they still fold as standard but as a whole without any split??

Thanks

They don't fold at all AFAIK. Not got mine yet but sure someone else can confirm (I think some one already did a few pages back.)

Yeah it's all down to your driving style. Try leaving it on eco pro for a while and drive really carefully and the miles should go back up.

Mine shows something like 18 miles as well, although by the time i've done about 10 miles through london traffic the battery is at quite a low state.

Do you guys manually alternate between Save and Auto based on traffic and the journey? I am tending to put it in Save (or Sport by moving the gear shifter left) when i'm on stretches of clear road and then back to Auto when in traffic. I thought that would annoy me to do that all the time but it's not so bad.

folding rearseat is an option....

[jeeves14]

Folding rearseat is an option, I have it in my car as part of the comfort package (folding rearseats, heated steering wheel and heated front seats)
As for mileage on full charge mine's showing at 14miles (maybe cos i'm always in comfort and not eco pro). A bit disappointed with that saying that,I mostly do local miles and I have a Rolec installed at my house which charges to full in about 2 hour so no real issues.

Sadly if you don't specify the folding rear seat option then nothing folds - not even the whole seat back, let alone a split. As I discovered to my cost!

Just got mine and initial impressions are very good. One problem I haven,t solved though is that according to the book, when an iPod is plugged in it downloads the tracks to the cars memory, which mine doesn't do. The iPod loads and plays ok but as soon as I unplug it there is no info. I am using the USB port. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sorry to be a pain. I am getting very frustrated with the supply company I have to go through for my car.

I was led to believe that my order was placed early March, however in an email received this morning I have been told

"The dealer we have placed the order with are still waiting for the car to be allocated a build slot."

Is the build date the first update that is available, or are there other updates available?

Which website can you go in to and check the build status, and what info is it you need? Is it the BMW order number or the VIN?

I have tried to search back through this thread, but it is taking for ever and is needle in a haystack stuff !

You won't get your build slot usually till a little before they actually build it I found so I wouldn't worry

There's no official tracker site but some people seem to have obtained the VIN and used it to search through the German website. I've been keeping track of mine via bmw genius. Asked them for an update yesterday and they advised it was at 9630 - port of entry so it's almost at the dealers.. Don't think there's any info you can really get until it's been scheduled a week of production unfortunately

[Chris1712]

If you've got an order number you can ask BMW Genius Live Chat for the current status. It will probably be '1100 - scheduled' which it will stay at until a build slot is assigned, typically 1-2 weeks before it's actually built.

[Funkydunc]

Thanks for the update, so it is all completely up in the air then, which is a bit of a shame, I at least hoped you could get an estimated build month etc :-(

At least my supplier is now trying to get the order number for me.

I got the keys to mine last week (09/06), following this trajectory:

24/5 - The current status of your 330e M Sport Saloon is '9000 Departed Plant' with an estimated delivery week of 23, in June 2016.
27/5 - The current status of your 330e M Sport Saloon is '9605 Pre EU Port of Exit' with an estimated delivery week of 24, in June 2016.
28/5 - The current status of your 330e M Sport Saloon is '9620 At Sea' with an estimated delivery date of 07/06/2016.
31/5 - The current status of your 330e M Sport Saloon is '9630 At port of entry'
02/6 - The current status of your new BMW 330e M Sport Saloon is 9650 Awaiting Dispatch to Dealer

So I'd guess end of week after next, if yours travels like mine did.

It's worth the wait, by the way!

thank you! it has been quite a long wait, it's the first time i'll be in a BMW hoping for week 26

[Funkydunc]

What would be really helpful is if those of you getting status updates could actually say when you placed the original order.

That way those of us still waiting could get an idea how far down the waiting queue we are.

Thanks

My order went in to Lex (company car) on the 4th Feb I believe, and it should arrive either end of week 26 / early week 27.
I did have a scare in May when they advised delivery had been pushed back to February 2017!! luckily however this was an error (phew!) and the order was back on track.

It seems some people have had orders brought forward somehow - which is a little bizarre with the amount who seem to be having orders pushed back.

[Chris1712]

Ordered mine 22nd January.
Production start 16/05
Production finish 20/05
Arrived in UK 30/05
Arrived at dealer 14/06 (Yes it took longer to go from Soton to Bath than it did a box of components to a functioning car shipped across 2 countries and an ocean)
Pickup from dealer 16/06 (tomorrow huzzah!)

[PhilWilson]

If it's helpful, I ordered mine on 24 February, and took delivery on 9 June. M Sport, Estoril Blue, Oyster interior. So no "individual" options.
