With the way new car access is right now and probably well into next year MSRP will be fine by me. And with used cars being priced so high, my pre-quote on my trades are amazing. I'll win on the trade and feel good about it. If you can get below MSRP though... super!

What's up W///?! Long time. My wife is trying to convince me to give up the e36 if I get the i4. I told her no chance!

Nice build.
I wanted the HUD and since I got that, I went for all the ADAS.

My family told me to go Big or go home.

More powerful cooling fan maybe, but an engine oil cooler in an EV?
I think that's a bit over the top and a money grab. I don't think many people will be taking their i4 to the track.
You get the 20" wheels, bigger brakes and fender extensions.

Highly doubt it, as the only people getting below MRSP are loyal repeat customers. I'm used to getting $1,000 below invoice and for my G83 (currently sitting at the VPC with a stop sale), I'm splitting the difference between MRSP and invoice.

With this being an all new model, dealerships will hold to MRSP pricing.

Yea I'm wondering this as well. Long time big numbers buyer. I want to confirm my discount when I place my order in the order bank tonight or tomorrow. Normally I'd say that being an "i" and fairly large production a nice discount can be had regardless of it being new. But you are absolutely correct, this market will have dealers foaming for MSRP minimum. I am thinking to ask for 5% and end up 2-3%. But I've got to say MSRP is likely with many many places asking over even if you pre-ordered.

I had just spec'd out a twin to yours as an i40, other than making the calipers red.

Anyone know why you are restricted to certain (black) leather colors with ventilated seats?

They only produce the leather for ventilated seats in limited colors. The surface is actually different.

Seems as you cannot order Driving Assistant, Parking Assistant AND Premium in the eDrive 40. That's disappointing....

Historically, the web-based builder has been buggy/wrong with certain combinations. Probably worth verifying with a dealer and their official build tool (once it's ready).

I expect to.
At least a couple of grand.
I've been going to this same dealer for more than a decade for service. They have been servicing two cars.

We shall see. I definitely am not paying more than MSRP. My dealer is also on the California instant rebate list
Couple thousand off in California?!

I wish you luck but this isn't 2019. I think MSRP would be a great deal for you.

Thanks for making it clear what you get. Guess they simply copied the ICE engine language directly over. Kind of funny no one noticed at HQ.

Nah. MSRP isn't a problem.

I have a great relationship with my dealer.
I have service history that goes back a decade on multiple cars.

We shall see. It's not a deal breaker either way.

That's what I thought and ran into the same issue with repeated build attempts at the dealer & at home. However, as of 10 minutes ago, I was able to successfully build a fully decked out eDrive 40 with Premium Package, Parking Assistance Package, Driver Assist, Icon Adaptive LED, eSIM 5G, wireless device charging, Harmon Kardon, Heads Up Display & Driver Recorder. As my dealer guessed, it must have been a glitch in the system before. In fact I just called him and he STILL couldn't build it at his desk even with my build code. We both are thinking it might be a browser issue on their end since he's seen this kind of thing before. I'm doing the build on Safari on a Mac.

He felt strongly that if I was able to do it at home then the build must be legitimate and it's just a matter of time before it's fixed on their end.

Does anyone know if you still get the 3D surround view of the car if you don't get the Parking Assistant Package? What exactly is in it?

Not necessarily a valid build. If I make enough changes I can "trick it" to have more options but it's not repeatable. I'm going in Monday, hopefully they will have this figured out by then. But if I start with a M50, then there are no restrictions. Think they are allocating chips!
