Configurating those packages on the web site comes in at $56025 less government subsidy so I can't wait to see the price of the."limited edition" i3. I also notice that further options like adaptive LED, sun roof, enhanced telephone Bluetooth and keyless entrance are not available.

LEDs, bluetooth and keyless features are standard in the Mega (base) US configuration.

On Jan 23rd BMW USA updated their downloadable PDF spec sheet (it actually has a page 2 this time). This document clearly states that comfort access (keyless features) and adaptive LED headlights are included. Its a bit murkier with the advanced bluetooth features... from what I could glean only basic bluetooth is available in the US.

Are you referring to i3_DOT_1-23_2014.pdf? That lists "Adaptive LED Headlights" as standard on page 2 but lists "Comfort Access keyless entry" as optional on page 4. It also lists keyless entry as included in Giga and Tera Worlds on page 6.

Update from my CA:

"I have not yet input any orders yet – yours is my first. ZGW Giga World is selectable…

Looks like I have production slots allocated for both models is March and April…

The sooner I can get all of your spec’s I can claim the earliest production week they gave us – depending on which model you prefer.."

Not sure if that sheds any light to our concerns, especially the last part of his email "depending on which model you prefer." :?

Not unusual. Heck, if I remember right weren't ALL the first year Volts fully loaded?

Actually, that's not true. My made-to-order 2011 Volt is close to a base model. (I truly like the black cloth interior.) The only options I purchased were the Viridian Joule metallic paint (signature color for the car) and the backup camera. They really didn't have too many options in the first year; most were standard features of the car.

Thanks for the clarification on that David, not sure how I got that one mixed up. Did they all have navigation in the first year as standard?

Another update from my dealer...

"There is actually some confusion at the moment as to what is available and when. Normally we input our own orders, but as I discovered yesterday, our order screens are locked. Our BMW rep will be here tomorrow, so I hope to get it sorted.

As of today they are saying:

They are locked. All modifications have to go through distribution and NJ. Only 4 colors and 2 wheels are available at this time. If changes are desired please complete the template below and return it to me at your convenience."

This was my configuration:

BMW i3 with Range Extender
+B85 - Capparis White
+ZGW - Giga World
+ZPK - Parking Package
+ZTD - Technology Package
+494 - Heated Front Seats
+4U7 - DC Fast Charging (SAE)
+674 - Harmon/Kardon Premium Sound

I spoke on the phone to my dealer in Northern California this morning and he also seemed somewhat confused. He told me that my order (which I placed 3 weeks ago) was in the order bank. He said that the manager at the dealership told the sales staff not to promise ANY i3 delivery dates, but that he *thinks* my car should be delivered at the end of May (unless someone else cancels - ?!) Fortunately, the Launch Edition has the *exact* configuration I want.

I'm highly skeptical that they are only producing/selling Tera in the initial few months. Down here in OC, I have an order in with Crevier for a Giga. I was originally planning on a loaded Tera, but the leasing costs, lack of baking in full $7500 credit and not having the sun roof option in the US models made me back off on principle alone. Crevier is one of largest BMW dealerships on the West Coast, and I heard that they have a pretty good allocation (80 cars, but I don't know if that's per month or annual). Find a reputable dealer that's going to sell you the car at MSRP and not jack up the money factor.

I'd check around with a few other dealerships. (Maybe the BMW of Fremont or Mountain View BMW might give you a better/different answer.)

Good luck,
