"If there were an changes, BMW would have mentioned it in the dealer memo."

Hmmm. Tough one. How come in the post that has the ultimate guide on everything you want to know about BMW.... there isn't even a chapter on the X series?

So far, there's only one poster on Xoutpost or Bimmerfest that has taken delivery of a 2010.........and poor diesaroo's X5d didn't make it 80 miles before BMW Assist took it from him........no word on any changes yet.

further checking on the CARB website:

NO 2010 Audi diesel certifed

2010 MBZ ML350 & GL350 diesels ARE certified.

spoke to my sales associate today about my x5d. still waiting for EPA/CARB but the car is built and sitting in SC. they won't give me a PDC date earlier than November 9 until they hear that the certification is resolved. Lot of people being held up by this.

I must be dense... what's the connection between a recent memo from BMW NA to their dealers and "the post that has the ultimate guide on everything you want to know about BMW?"

P.S. here's the memo I was referring to:

Too bad my dealer CA and BMW are not upfront and honest about any delays.

I realize the eco credit may have increased demand but its not an excuse for the delay that my CA is implying. A company of BMW's size and experience should know/plan better.

All of this EPA/CARB stuff should not need to be researched by customers from the internet and pieced together from what one CA says here and there. (All information from folks here and other boards much apreciated but shame on BMW to get it one crumb at a time.)

Come on BMW, your customers deserve better!

The folks who have their X5d ready to drive but being held up are rightfully upset and I feel for you.

All BMW employees, including PR, have been taught to have only one response to inquiries from customers, unless a BMW executive has specifically authorized disclosure:

Nov 9 was the date they offered my last week. I postponed until the 13th with no problem.

AFAIK no one had taken delivery of a 2010 yet. Could you post a link to the info on diesaroo's taking delivery of a 2010. I'm curious.
