I haven't received mine either. Does anyone know what the "work order" contains?

Mine has been held up at the BMW prep center for over 10 days. My sales adviser said that there is a "campaign" in progress on all the f10 Xdrives. Apparently something with the alignment that was incorrect out of the factory and that they all have to be realigned before they will be released to the dealerships. Hopefully will take delivery this week.

I spoke with my CA and he told me the delay had to do with the Monroney sticker. Who knows.*

My CA said that no vehicles can be delivered to the dealers until the VPC installs a "part." He didn't know why the "part" wasn't installed at the factory. He'll know more tomorrow after the Holiday.

It might be only a 535x thing ... my 550x got off the boat on Thursday and I picked it up on Saturday.

Ask your dealer. Ask for his order confirmation sheet.

Just heard from my CA about the car delays. According to him a bushing or something was either not installed or not installed correctly at the factory and the repair is being done at the VPC. They have the parts to do the repair but there are apparently 1200 cars that require the part and it is not one those 1-2 minute fixes hence the big delay. God forbid if your car is #1200 in line to get the repair. I guess chalk it up to the risks you run for ordering within the 1st production run of a new car. In this case I truly hope the old adage good things come to those who wait applies.

All these different stories/reasons floating around from different sources about the significant delays in the deliveries of the Xi's doesn't inspire me with the greatest of confidence. We're all paying a serious chunk of change for our preordered BMW's. We deserve at least a straight forward answer as to the status of our deliveries. I mean seriously BMW, is it so hard to get your stories straight.

Finally !!! ........just got informed that my new car has been released from the grips of the VPC after 3 long weeks of waiting and is getting transported to my dealership for delivery. Hopefully (fingers-crossed) will take possession of it later this week/weekend. Hopefully everybody else who has been waiting will get their new cars soon as well.

NewBimmer..

Did you have MSport or regular sports package?

I am still trying to determine which cars really had to be fixed. I came in last Thursday on the TOMAR and I still haven't heard a peep; however, others who were on the TOMAR are already taking delivery.

This whole thing doesn't make any sense.
