Anyone (528/535) heard anything yet? I picked up my loaner today and was told that our cars were supposed to be approved/released on Friday (April 13) and moved out of VPCs today. No confirmation as to whether or not mine was moved or is even scheduled to be moved.

I did get the loaner though, which makes me think my dealer thinks my car will be here soon. '07 328xi--pretty nice, good power, great brakes, and handled the terrible weather here nicely. Feels less 'solid' than my previous E39, and of course felt much smaller. Still a performer at heart though.

My dealer told me today that the EPA will release the cars "at the end of this week," and I'll have mine next week sometime.

Deelee, when did your car arrive at the VPC? I'm wondering if there's a huge backup to clear, and that's why my dealer said next week for me. My 528xi got to the VPC on the April 10.

D--thanks. Has your dealer confirmed that the cars have passed EPA? I'm wondering why we are all getting different info. My dealer should call me tomorrow and he speaks directly with the person who runs VPC in NJ. Hopefully I'll have some answers by tomorrow.

I checked with my CA mid afternoon today. He had information that 528's and 535's had been released from the VPC. He thought it was reasonable to expect mine in Dallas either Wednesday or Thursday of this week. He was trying to confirm this information, but said their "system" was down. I expect him to call me tomorrow with a confirmed update.

Additionally, when I was at the dealership yesterday, they had already cleared a large section of their showroom floor in anticipation of receiving cars early this week.

I'll post if I have information.
