Can you tell us what model? I believe only the s28i and the x35i are released. Not the x28i.

you are correct--- those, along with a handfull of colors arent available until May production. She had a 2011 F25 xdrive, and we went with the Sdrive this time. no need for the X drive in the Atlanta area IMO.

Production 150 here as well.

Mine went 150 yesterday for me as well and I have learned with the same completion date. My dealer is in Birmingham. Same truck would probably deliver to Atlanta then on to a Birmingham.

congrats! im sure you'll have your own truck for AL, in my experiences in ordering cars --its on truck for ATL dealers!...

FYI--there is an EPA hold on these cars (per my CA they have to clear emissions etc, standard on all new introductions)--hopefully they release this soon so they can be delivered right away.

Is yours showing up on the BMW website? I still can't get it to show there. I am only able to check off of the phone 800 number.

Yesterday my x3 was being "transported to port of exit." So what does that mean. I live in Mississippi. Is it getting ready to ship to me?

when coming from Europe, that means its on a train on the way to the port of exit (Bremerhaven) in your case that means its at the factory awaiting transport to you-- getting assigned to a truck, etc. But...................There is still an EPA hold on these cars, so my guess is they will be sitting a while until this is lifted. FWIW-- the X6LCI had the same thing last yr, and cars sat for up to 5 weeks until this EPA hold was lifted. So in my case and your's it may suck that our cars got done quick---because now this next stage sucks bad!!

My car finished production today--so waiting game begins.

My inquiry sheet says "monroney, EPA, release". So this is the hold? Please let me know when you hear something about this.

Correct, same thing mine says. Per the rep at BMW, he said he believes it has been released already, hence it says "release"..but per my CA there is a hold, so i think i'll believe my CA even though id like to believe the BMW rep.

Well my CA is of no help so I called the BMW customer service. No update as of this afternoon. Not showing a carrier yet. I asked about holds and the rep said she did not see any. So we sit and wait. I will check again tomorrow and then again the next day and then the next.!
