550xi - Being held indefinately at U.S. ports

I was notified today by my dealer that 550ix's are being held at US ports. Reason unknown. Dealer is unable to get an answer.

1) Has anyone here received their ordered 550ix in the U.S. yet?
2) Has anyone else heard of this delay? If so, any reason given?

My vehicle arrived in Baltimore on 10/12.

My 535xi was held at Baltimore for 3 weeks 2ndary to a work order on all F10 Xdrives. My CA told me that a bushing had not been installed or was installed incorrectly at the factory. Others have stated that there problem was a seat repair, missing bracket, missing Monroney stickers etc. Either way they have the parts to do the repair but there was a huge back log but I think are moving along now. Taking delivery of my new car today and my dealership apparently just got 5-6 F10 Xdrives that were ordered as well. hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

There was a bulletin that came out recently that a few cars came out of the factory with the wrong tires and the VPC would have to mount the correct tires. Some cars got out of the factory with upgraded wheels for no charge too.
