It's exciting but the sad part, maybe, about it all for me is that I need the Audi I have now until the 22nd. I am the brave soul letting my younger brother take his driving test in it since it is the smallest vehicle in the family. So the earliest delivery for me will be the 22nd after the driving test if it shows up at the dealer early.

Wait, I think I can help: How about this; call your dealer up and say: "Hey friendly CA, can you reach out to the factory and tell them they can take their sweet time on finishing up mine. Just focus on getting VIN ___5493 ready for performance center pickup on the 30th of this month. It takes a village."

Ive thought about the rental car route but he is not the best at parking and I have been coaching him on the weekends to get him comfortable in my car with that, so an extra few days wait wont kill me and it may just be enough for him to actually pass on the first try. |

The plant from Atlanta is only a few hours away, so probably why it got to the dealer that fast, all truck transport. I have not been called yet about it, so there may still be a hold on it and cant be sold yet. If it is indeed at the dealer, I may go see it in the next few days.

I'm of the opinion that your allocation was likely for a post week 32 build slot from the beginning. In that case, it would make sense to not see any estimated completion date yet. If this was a build week 33 allocation, you should be seeing an estimated completion date by this Saturday using the My Garage. At any point did your CA advise what week the build slot you purchased was for? By the way - I know, you and I both - but I'm very interested to see photos of this one when you get it. It's a great color, and you made a great choice!

I've gotten an email from my CA this morning with this as the punchline - on a forwarded email from the Performance Center: “Every year EPA and CARB Certifications, which are issued by the government, must be obtained for every new model year vehicle and BMW NA must receive those certifications before a vehicle can be delivered to a customer. An Engineering Data hold as well as a Release hold will be placed on this vehicle once it reaches production status 150 (see example shown below). Neither of those holds will not be removed until BMW NA receives the necessary certifications from the appropriate government agencies. I cannot believe the tracker is accurate, but either way this is all a good look for your needs Re: drivers test!

If it is there, I may check out a car rental place and see how much it would cost to get a car for a day so I can pick mine up. I am not the most patient person. |

Great line of thought right here - maybe this showing up will complete the EPA hold puzzle

I think this may be the EPA certification search site. I dont see any BMW 2020 certifications since March, and who knows how timely this site is updated.

My X5 has been stuck in "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" since yesterday morning. Maybe today it will roll out of the lot. I'm in Central Florida so I would expect it to be at my dealer later in the day when that happens.
