EPA Hold got released (???)

My dealer just emailed me saying that it looks like they have released the EPA hold on my car and now just waiting for the lot to be released.

Check your dealers to see if they are seeing the same information.

Not much description, just decided to alert everyone -i'll add a question mark to the title.
"Looks like they have released the EPA hold and now just waiting on them to get released."

Cool thanks, but what is he referring to with "released"?. Maybe that's the April 16 date...

I wonder if the "finishing tocuhes" means "holding this car for a boatload of time just to fuck with you guys more, see you on April 16th, losers"

EPA hold is one thing, but no guarantee BMW will release the lot before April 16th. Really hope they do though. My car has been stuck in the "final touches" status for over a week.

Emailed my dealer to see if he has heard anything..

No keys on hands of customers until April 16th. That's the official word confirmed by my SA via phone this morning.

For those of you with cars in NA already, he did say you'd be able to sit in and pretend drive it though.

So on the plus side, the cars will be in the dealership asap and not sitting near the ocean rusting?

For what it's worth my Macan sat at the dealer for a week until we could officially take delivery. Can't imagine this being any different.

How do you like it? I keep flip flopping between M2, Macan and whatever else is in that range. Lol.
