but that is a California state issue. How would it impact deliveries to the other 49 states?

I am not certain but CARB and EPA tend to come up together and perhaps because CA is such a big market that manufacturors won't release a product without CARB and EPA certification.

there are a bunch of states that have adopted the CARB standards.......even though they may be the same tailpipe emissions that the EPA has, without the EO from CARB, they cannot legally be sold and titled in those states. Most of the Northeast states, exxcept NH, and a part of this group. I think there are over a dozen states that have adopted this language.

That's correct, but at least as far as we can see, they haven't been delivered ANYWHERE yet, isn't that right? So begs the question will they deliver in the states that aren't a part of this group?

Since they are keeping me planted for my 11/2 PCD date and since we've already booked (expensive) flights and scheduled time away from work I really hope they wouldn't spring a change on us last minute. Monday will be two weeks from the date.

They don't ship, they don't invoice, they don't get paid.

Yup, whenever you have a customer, you want to close the deal as soon as possible. In many, if not most states, there is no such thing as a non-refundable deposit, i.e., people can walk away from the sale if they change their mind or get too irritated at BMW.

Mine was completed on 10/7 (2 weeks ago!!) and it's still sitting waiting to be trucked. CA said this morning that all 2010 X5s including 30i, 35d, 48i (not the X5M) are being held for some reason. He thinks it has something to do with the EPA, but he's not sure.

My 35d has been complete since 10/8. C/A called today and said they expected mine on yesterday's truck, but it didn't arrive. However, they did get a 2010 3.0 in for their inventory, so they are being shipped. They expect mine today or tomorrow. BMW NA says mine is now part of dealer's inventory, so it has been shipped.
