Cheers. I guess for me wireless charging is only something I'd like to see how it works and something nice to have. I don't quite think I'd use it regularly even it's there. But it's certainly not right that they advertised with it when it's actually not available in Au. Will try contact BMW and see what they say.

*post #100 for me

Hi David, would you happen to know the option code for that compartment? I'd like to check if it's on my VIN Spec. Cheers.

You're right - its the Carmen. At 8pm she's only a few Km's from Fremantle and back in radar range. So a bit ahead of the expected arrival time of 2am ... so maybe she'll be in Melbourne on schedule on the 11th...?

Unfortunately can't help with option code but I did get a response today.
The Driver Assistance Package buttons (Collision Warning & Lane Departure) take up the space that is otherwise occupied by the Driver's side storage compartment so effectively no AU spec cars get the compartment, just another error in the spec guide (along with the stated 255 & 275 tyres).

It's about to dock now. I think it's maybe half day behind schedule? So maybe will arrive afternoon/evening at Melbourne.
Btw, the ETA 2am is Perth time, so it?s 5am Mel/Syd time.

Thank you David, it makes sense.

Update: contacted (complained to) BMW Genius regarding the wireless charging earlier today, got a reply fairly quick - "Unfortunately the M2's will not come with wireless charging and there is no possibility of having this retrofitted to the vehicle. As a gesture of goodwill, we have decided to offer you $300 in credit to use on Accessories or Lifestyle at any BMW Dealership."
