The story going around on other forums is that you may not take delivery of an F10 model until the "official" release date of June 19, 2010. Even if it gets here before then, BMW will hold it at the preparation center. My 535i has been on a boat headed for California for more than a week, but looks like we'll have to wait until June.

It has happened before. Delays for 1 of 2 reasons. Either an EPA certification glitch or simply waiting for launch cars to arrive at the dealers has delayed deliveries in the past.
Good luck with yours.

Congrats Doc Holiday.

For starters, post in more details and later send in some pics!

Your first BMW will not be your last

When did you order?
