M135i (AW & M Performance Pack)
Hi F40 fan!
My dealer received the car yesterday. I went this morning to see it in the flesh. I like it! I initially wanted a red or a blue one but my wife wanted the AW. They received 2 others M135i (both in black) which looks good too (especially with the shadow line leds). I am disappointed … since the car hasn't the Harmann / Kardon audio!! I ordered the car with all options except leather. It even has front seat isofix and sport tires. So the lack of H/K is a big problem for me. I am waiting on my dealership to find a solution for now.

Sure I Ordered it! It should have been my 7th BMW and the only other one that hadn't H/K audio was my 2012 X1 18d.
The M135i is actually equipped with the Hi-Fi system (10 speakers and 205 watts). The H/K one has 16 speakers and 464 watts. My CS has the H/K with 12 speakers and 305 watts and I clearly hear the loss of quality (and power) compared to my previous F80. I can't imagine that the one specced in this M135i is even close to the one in the CS. That's really a big deal for me.

Your dealer should have informed you that a number of options were withdrawn by BMW due to the world shortage of semi conductors, Harmon Kardon was one of those options. There are big threads in the UK 3 series F30 and G20 sections of this forum. Orders placed now are now getting HK audio again

Sorry, I should have posted a link. Really bad communication from your dealer I reckon.

It is depending on the restrictions in production. I am happy that I ordered my F40 end of 2020 and production is 01/21. But I did not order HK.
Cars for Switzerland have always full options so I understand your disappointment. But guys ordering G20/G21 have a lot of limitations. Check the paintwork of the back door in the area of the plate (above) and seat belt fastening (mine made noise and needed to be corrected after my first roatrip). Enjoy your M135i and see you on swiss mountian passes! (Hopefully in the beginning of July ) |

I am wondering if it lacks others options. That's not a good moment to order a car…

Dealership gives me info today. They will re order one with the H/K audio if I want. They told me that everything was correct when they ordered the car and that this situation isn't acceptable. Every option should already be available after July… I guess that means a possible delivery for the end of the year lol.
EDIT: I asked for a H/K retrofit but it doesn't seem possible.

I wouldn't accept a retro fit if it was me, they have to pull the interior apart to do it and that may well induce rattles and poor gaps in trims. Re-order but request some kind of compensation...

I decided to take the car. It misses H/K but has wireless charging. I didn't want to wait for 5-6 months or so and they can't guarantee to you that you will have exactly what you ordered.
