I bet a 130 Carpathian edition comes with IDD.

Now you know why it is a zero cost option to update from analogue to IDD. They don't owe any of us refunds...
We have the same build date, same D90S. And yes I also saw recently that the display was switched to analog - that fine with me. I did want the signature LED headlights but that also could not be ordered so it will be the basic LED one.

I'm eagerly awaiting for it to be built and delivered.

If you cross check part numbers for the digital dashboard with the sport and fullsize you can get a used eBay digital dashboard and swap it the analog one. Less than 1k if you want it bad enough.

I agree! "Can't wait". Mine was originally scheduled for build May 5th with delivery June 30.

They can and do move both away - or closer / sooner dates. Mine moved three weeks ahead (sooner) about two or three weeks ago.

You can always ask your salesperson to check Vista2 for an update. I only knew because I wanted to change my wheel / rim / tire combo about ten days before my original "Last Amendment" date, but found out I was actually about ten days too late.

So my 2020 got loaded out.

When did the shortages actually start showing up in builds?

2020.5?
2021?

I think second half of 2022. I have a late 2021 and an early 2022 that are loaded too

This: No door monitor (blind spot)

Are they axing these too? First time I have heard. I wonder where this is going to end... Hoping to put an order for a MY 2024, but not so sure I am doing if less and less actually comes with the car. Is there light in the end of this tunnel? When?

Some of this stuff can be retrofitted when the parts are available.

Mines going in next week to have the missing USB ports fitted.

My early 2022 base model has more tech than the fully loaded X-dynamics now. I have the large screen, signature LED lights, blind spot warning, 3D view, clear sight mirror, sunglass holder, soft close rear door (some of these were options I chose). I haven't checked if I have USB and 12V in the back, my dog doesn't need them

You've gotta wonder with BMW & Benz advertising their "acres" of displays, JLR is obviously getting outbid for parts.

The sad part is that it appears Toyota & Honda are outbidding them, also. Basically nobody has much "supply chain" mess left.
