Spoke to my dealer today and he swears that it's not on a ship and he desn't know why.
It so happens I went to the BMW show in Carmel, CA today. The main reason I went to the show was to see the new M5. Turns out they didn't have one at the show so I bitched and an executive from BMWNA came over and personally appoligized. I told him about my car and he offered to do a little research to find out where it is. He actually gave me his cell number and email address. Very cool guy.
We'll see
