I just picked mine up yesterday, and it has the ambient lighting(added as an option)....but no touch screen

[mss400]

Oh nevermind. I see that it's now part of the premium package.

Did you know they were deleting your touchscreen?

4UR (Colors) was/is Optional Equipment. 563 (LED light sources: interior and reading lights, vanity mirror lighting for the driver and front passenger, front footwell lights, storage compartment lighting in the center armrest and exit lights in the doors) was Standard. Has that equipment actually been deleted?

Yes, they told me 2.5 months after I ordered it. I was pretty pissed, but the deal I made was too good to pass up....honestly I don't miss the touch screen.....but I'd rather have it seeing thats how I ordered it

My main (only?) complaint with my car is that at night the displays are either really, really bright or if I adjust the brightness down, the buttons and switches are unreadable (to a 64 year old's eyes). I am learning where things are by feel but still ended up calling my wife (programmable button #2) when I tried to check my tire pressure (PB #5).

I do have the Infotainment system display off button programmed (#6) so if not using the map I can turn off that brightness.

I'm confused. Is ambient lighting where you can change those thin strings of light like on the center console and doors and you choose between like 8 colors? Or is ambient lighting something else?

I don't think you are confused. It isn't something else.

Check the older order/price guides. Ambient lighting used by BMW NA to describe 563 & 4UR. 4UR (colors near trim) never standard. Press Release is referring to 563.

A few here have had their touch screen deleted, but I don't think that is a current issue.

When I was trying to locate an M40i recently, I noticed the few we looked at in nationwide dealer inventory were missing the garage door opener. In previous years I think it used to be part of a premium package, but it's now a standalone option. Either it wasn't available in the fall or dealers didn't know it needed to be added to orders. So my M40i is missing this option and the charging tray/digital key.
