Sounds like your vehicle is done but in limbo...I assume it'll take a few days to rail your X5 to the west coast once released. I hope your X5 gets to you before Xmas. That'd be a great gift!!! I'll have to check my rear doors to confirm that the manual window blinds were deleted. The brochure had a sticker placed in it communicating the change...very high tech and yes an example of poor communication. I wanted to get the vehicle before they deleted any other features/options.
