My Ride: 2005 545i sports package, Nav, HUD, cold weather, Prem sound, Orient Blue, Auburn int. Steptronic
My car was completed last Friday the 22nd and has been waiting over a week at the port. What's with that? I thought shipment is within a week. Spoke with the dealer yesterday and confirmd it's still waiting. What have you experienced?

It is getting a software upgrade, the BT connected or maybe even a new TCU.
They replaced a wheel and tire for me at VPC which held it up.
The Dept. of Agriculture also checks all cars.

being new at this I don't understand why they would be doing upgrades/fixes at the port after production. If so, makes you wonder about their manufacturing process. What's a TCU?
and yes I did pass most of today watching the Red Sox parade. I would have preffered to be driving my new 545 listening to it instead.
