Anyone received their model year 2017 340 yet?

just wondering if anyone has taken delivery of 2017 340 yet? It seems like everybody is waiting for EPA clearance or some other red tape.

Don't think any 2017s have been released. My 430i has been at port for 3 weeks and activates are at least 1 more till epa release.

My 340 arrived at port August 1st. EPA wont allow release yet.

I have but I picked up here in Germany on July 26th. Would have thought all the EPA stuff would have been done now

Same thing happens any year when car is not identical to previous year. BMW has to complete paperwork and recertify.

In some cases it's not BMW at all but the feds who are awaiting final data for window sticker as it relates to fuel economy, comparisons to alternative and electric powered vehicles.

Its called a Monroney hold.

There's another thread here that says the EPA has released the hold.
