Question Help required re dealer and multi cd changer

When ordering the spec of my car I ordered the multi cd changer. This was specified on the list as dealer fit. I just assumed this was the norm. When I came to collect the car 2 weeks ago I was told the brackets that hold the changer in place are different from the tin top and BMW are in the process of sending out new brackets which should be in any day. I collected the car then but 2 weeks later am still waiting for them to get the brackets.

Is it ususal that the CD changers are dealer fitted.

Has anyone elses been dealer fitted or were they all factory fitted.

Is it something just my dealer are up to.

The dealer is telling the truth about the brackets as they are different from the hatchback and I do believe the cd multi changers are dealer fitted.

I'm also waiting for the brackets to come from Germany they were ordered on Sat and should be here on Friday.

hmmmmmmmmmm...

Just to throw confusion to this matter, i picked my MCSC late Jan. It was registered in October last year. The car has had the CD changer since then, therefore I'm finding it a little hard to believe that they didnt have the bolts now?

They may be different bolts, but BMW in Newcastle had the bolts in October last year thats for sure!

Bearing in mind how expensive it was to go for the dealer options with regard tot he ICE I ended up picking up Tango on the Friday morning and had it booked into the local ICE dealer on the Saturday and ended up with a much better sound system for the same amount of money, and I did not have any problems with the autochanger except it is mounted on the rear of the back seat rather than on the floor of the boot - no hardship!
