My CA just called and told me he was cc'd on an email from the central region distribution manager and the email says they expect carb certification sometime next week. Another member on another forum also provided this information earlier this week from his/her own source.
Hopefully we see cars end of next week. |

Once the cars get the CARB cert, dont they still have to leave the port, spend a few days in the VPC, get packaged up and trucked to your dealer, then they have to clean it and do a 1-2 day inservice before they call you and say shes ready to leave the hospital? |

I think the work at the VPC is already done. I know that the work on mine is done. Additionally, there has been a lot of talk about the cars being setting at the port under the elements. Aren't they wrapped already? From the satellite images of the Baltimore port the cars are all white with wrap. Is this true?

Yeah my dealer said the VPC finished everything on my car on 8/14. Just waiting for a truck. I am still hoping for delivery next week.

All this talk about delay.... Correct me if I'm wrong but its not 9/1 yet is it? Grab a beer folks, kick it back, enjoy the simple things in life. The cars aren't going any where. Everything will come with time.

For the person who spoke about CARB and federal law, please know that CARB EO is a state law and not a federal law. Many states have adopted it. Every state has the authority to certify its cars.
In addition, if BMW truely cared about their M customers they could have taken care of these before the M5 reached our shores. This is about customer service. AMG owners at Mercedes have the ability to meet with the executives and express any concerns and their issues are resoved with care. At BMW, as M customer we are speding over $100,000 on a car and we are treated as if we have spent one dollar. No one at BMW could explain the reasons for the delay or give us the courtsey to call and dicuss. Again, this is not about being impatient getting a toy. Some if us have been without a car for while and commute 40 miles each way every day to work. |

I'd rather BMW stick to the forefront of innovation, then make their engineers available to talk to customers while falling behind the competition like AMG.

Also the reason there are "plenty of CLS 63" is because unlike BMW MB brings the cars early and releases them on time to their loyal customers. |

With all that being said, I still chose the M to try out something different. Loyalty is great, but it's nice to explore too |
