Wireless charging on G01 changed place??

At the BMW UK X3G01 configuration page the picture and details on Enhanced Bluetooth with wireless charging changed.

Any confirmation?

Assuming the UK model has it in the same place as the US one (I don't see any reason it would be different), the wireless charger is not in that location, but at the very front of the center console. See the pic in this review: https://www.macrumors.com/review/bmw-wireless-carplay/

It looks very strange that they changed the photo. The same appears now at BMW Greece...

I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it. The current placement is not optimal. My phone slides around more than I'd like.

It seems like the configurator is the first place we can see changes. I remember when they changed the location of the badging last year. It could be seen in the configurator months before any dealers knew about it.

Thing is, I remember seeing an image like that, somewhere, months ago, during the 2018 model year. It's not new.

But the 2A charging current through USB seems to be New as well.

I prefervtge current location though, since it's easier to reach while driving.

That's true, when I configured mine back in April 2018, the picture on the Spanish website was the same as above.

Some of the pictures of the optionals in the web are taken from other models.

It was showing that image in December 2017 when I was going through my build, not to say it won't change though but doubt it?

Image in current brochure still shows it in front of cup holders

That’s correct. When the configuration went up in U.S. market that same image was used. I’ve seen that same image on other BMW’s as well and it made me stop and wonder where the charger was located. I think as of now, there are more models with charging in the armrest than there are models with charging in in the console. I personally hate the idea of having to lift the armrest lid and awkwardly turn sideways every time I want to charge my phone.
