Was told that production was sheduled to be finished on 12/3 and it was scheduled to be loaded on a train 12/5

Production status went to complete waiting to be released to the carrier on 12/1.

Now:

Website says "scheduled for production"
Automated says "waiting to be released to carrier"

BMW's customer reps:

Rep 1 Friday - I'm sorry, that is very strange- the production is complete and that it missed the scheduled ship date. Don't know why it would have a delay being released to carrier.

Rep 2 Monday - Well it now shows production is scheduled for 12/21. No I can't explain why it says that production is complete on the phone. We don't have access to that system here

Rep 3 Monday - Production is complete however there is an issue that is keeping your vehicle in the Quality check stage and preventing it from being released to a carrier. Sorry you were promised a dec delivery we don't commit to build or shipping dates. No I can't tell you an more details about what the issue might be

Dealer 1 Monday - BMW will not give us any information either but all of our 4.8 shipments are frozen in production. We have confirmed this is an issue with other dealers. Also mentioned great little tidbit - their 4.8 demo has rear manual window shades however they were notified they had to remove that option from all e70s until a future date TBD. (How bad is BMW at communicating)

Dealer 2 Monday - Yes we also had 4.8s scheduled to finish production in the last 2 weeks and they have not been released from the factory. No BMW will not give us any details.
