Sept build with ipod but without BMW Assist

Sept build date but dealer states that system will not let him select ipod/usb or bluetooth without BMW Assist.

I thought this was recently changed. Am I mistaken or is the salesman not doing something incorrectly?

My CA also ran into the same issue. He told me that if they charge for bluetooth that they would not charge me since on their website it can be configured as a standalone option.

Interestingly, I tried configuring an 1M yesterday and noticed that a lot of the options have been removed including iPod adapter. The configurable options have been streamlined.

Production will wind down in Dec according to everything on the forum but it seems like they are really moving fast.

US production. Line converts to f20 in march 2012. Apparently it appears Aussies will get the last cars as some have an April 2012 delivery date.

What should I say to my CA? I just want the iPod adapter (or bluetooth if it supports audio streaming) but dont' want BMW Assist. Sounds like you don't need to purchase BMW Assist after 1 Sept. however when I go to the BMW USA web site and configure a "build your own", it still shows bluetooth with BMW Assist. I guess this is what the CA also observes.

Any suggestions as to something specific I can direct the CA to look at in order to get this done?

try to have your CA order it and try doing one option first then the other or vica versa
