Me too,I did not see any deilvery dates on OC-bmwusa, please details, so we can check too.
My dealer sent me a copy of e mail from the superiors(bmw sub HQ ?? ) saying that
"At present M5 and 550i have been EPA certified and are im shipping process, the other models are on standby to be okayed by National (? EPA) and will be shipped once it is done"(The date and time have not been said or specified).
I was told cars should be cleared by Sunday, and put on trucks by Monday. Like I said above, my dealer has given me a loaner starting Monday, so they must think the cars will be here soon too. These engines aren't entirely new to BMW and the 328 and 335 have passed, so it makes me think EPA is more a formality than a hurdle. Famous last words......

And you now have incentive for them to delay getting your car to you! Driving someone else's car at no cost to you is a great deal!

Hmmm. Good point. No insurance cost. No registration. No maintenance. No payments. Regular unleaded. I could get used to this......

Under review order details in the Order Tracking menu. This is where your entire order is specified you get vin, estimated delivery and order details. I don't think I can cut ans paste, but I will try.

When did you get to your VPC? If your guy says the 20th for you, it may be the 20th for all of us.

I have no idea how all this EPA stuff works. Is it the type of situation that, once approval is given for one, they are all approved, or is it that the first batch in every port has to undergo separate testing???

After all the anxiety and waiting, I never saw this EPA bull#@%& blindsiding me!

or is the delay because my car has been damaged n undergoing repairs..that would really suck..will have ot confront my dealer..

I said it before--next time I'M BUYING FROM DEALER STOCK! This waiting game is CRAP!

I guess we will all laugh about how nuts we have been one day. The problem is that every day that passes, that 'one day' seems to get further away, not closer!

For what it's worth, I'm outta town next week and my dealer was comfortable making an appointment to pick up the car on Sat. the 21st. This is the dealer that has 2 550's already.
