Well, my car has been done for 3 weeks, and still sitting waiting for the seat module. 3 weeks! And, no one at BMW can give me any timeline as to when it will done and shipped. And, once it is done, it will take an additional 2-3 weeks to get to my dealership in LA. I am beyond frustrated with BMW at this point.

Just curious: Were the 79 X5s released? Has the seat module issue finally been solved? A number of people on other boards seem to say yes, while others say no. What's the real answer, if anyone has it?

Here is an update from my CA earlier last week:

sent us this email earlier today.

" Hello Everyone, I just got off the phone with BMW distribution. They said that the X5 diesel and 335 diesel are still awaiting emissions approval from CARB (California Air Resources Board) and their best estimate is a release date of mid May which would mean 2011 X5 diesels & 335d models should be rolling in sometime around the 20th."

I wish the government would hurry up with their testing so our customers can start enjoying their X5s, but we have no control over them. Sorry the information has been so vague, but I am also in the dark.

So who knows whats going on....
