Technology Package no longer orderable ? What's going on with BMW product Managers !!

Hi All, I live in Ottawa, Canada.. my dealer just notify me today that the Technology Package (nav + Top View Camera) is no longer available ? This is the key feature when I consider X5-35d My 2007 530i lease going to end by April 2010... what can I do now??? considering 5 series will not arrive till August, X3 having a major change soon, X1 not available here... and I don't want 3 series as it's bit small... Is BMW pushing existing customer towards MB or Lexus... I may end up go for a MB E350 or a RX350 Ultra... This is SAD as I really want to stay with BMW..... Also,,, Lexus RX is going for 3.9% leasing rate... and BMW still at 6.9% and the dealer keep telling me the rate will go up in 2010 Spring... OK,, I just stop here... I like BMW but you pushing me away !!!!!!

By the way,, I worked in technology field, If my product planning manager put my company in that kind of situation, they all should be FIRED !!

There is a supply chain issue with the top-view/rear view camera, so at least for the US market the top view/rear view camera was deleted from the Tech Package. Not sure if there has been any changes, since the BMW NA bulletin was posted in the end of November.

Really? My X5 has it and was produced a week ahead of schedule. I'm picking it up on Saturday.

Hmmm. Mine was delayed because of the supply chain issue, but my CA said it would be produced with the Top View camera as part of the Tech Package when the issue was resolved. It is true that the camera was deleted from earlier December Production models.

I just called the 800 number and mine is now "In Production" with an estimated completion date of Jan 4th. I'll be plenty irritated if they chose to simply delete the camera without notifying me. Not sure if the situation is the same with Canadian orders.

It is possible the issues have been resolved, and the camera is once again available. So, not sure what is the situation right now.

Stockwell- I would think they should be able to solve these problems within a month, so either the dealer has bad information or there is a different situation with Canada orders.

Hi All,, Thank You for all your feedback... I will wait till Jan to place my order, assume BMW can let me order the Top View... which properly put me into the "updated X5"s... Here in Canada, we don't have the Eco Credit The dealer better give me a good deal ... I expect 6 to 7% off MSRP. (I know the fleet mgr can offer that...)

Just production delay !

We are yet to see a delivery without cameras when they are supposed to be there. Either they are delaying production or not taking Technology Package as on option. But not delivering vehicle without them while package is ordered. Let us see. Mine was ordered on Dec 8th and Technology Package shows online for my vehicle features.
