This seems logical, especially if dealers don't know where cars will be registered before they actually arrive.
The website is here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad/.../2013/2013.php
To be clear, I'm not saying this is or is not BMW's fault but I am saying that it appears CARB has not approved the car and this may matter for M5s going to CA at best or all M5s at worst. |
This is also fact. The M5 has to be certified in all 50 states before BMW can release it.
