Well I did change the exterior and interior color options that likely impacted the production schedule.

That's great, OP! Have you any idea of your vehicle's ETA?

Most likely. Did you go to standard colors or extra charge colors?

Interestingly now on the website when you build a 740
They dont require to add executive package when you choose luxury rear seating.

A bit disappointed as i was forced to add that when doing my build.

Could the dealer give a break on my msrp you think?

Yes, went to dealer to check on this.
The website is just a window dressing.

Dealer cant do anything on their software

Actually now they cant even spec a car with luxury rear seating without adding a $7.3k bmw individual option.

Its a shitshow 🤷🏻*♂️

I’ll just accept it the way it is and be a happy camper
