Could be loading for it's train ride west. Bob, I'll try and hold this train! But you need to get out of "Quality Check" so we can share this ride.

Thanks but let the train go.

First my X3 gets completed 3 days after scheduled, which then ran into week 32, not a big deal but it started assembly on a Saturday and finished on a Monday. Bad omen. Now it's been sitting for 3 days because of some engineering hold, which I just heard was has been released and now it missed the train ride with yours out to the west coast. They only have 1 train a week coming out here.
I've had a funny feeling for a week now that I'm going to turn this X3 down when it gets to the dealer. Having owned my current 2018 M40i for almost 10 months now, I'm just not that excited to get this car anymore.
I might start looking at some other vehicle.

But I hope I'm wrong and it works out.
Bob, the engineering holds haven't been released as late as this afternoon. If that's the case mine would have been here by now. The engineering holds are for government testing that apparently hasn't been completed yet.
The so called BMW Genius told me that my order was on an engineering hold, but that shortly before I called today, it was released. Maybe they just make things up as they go along?
