How to track M5

Hey guys,

Just ordered a new M5 to join my E63s and want to know how to track the progress of the car. I already have the Dealer PO number and the VIN of the car.

The car is a dealer inventory launch car that I put a deposit on. I did not spec the car out but its pretty close to how I would have ordered it.

Sterling.

How about you?

Have you heard about the HEA cars being held until March? There were a couple of rumors here but haven't heard anything official.

I am in Orange County, my car hits the port on Friday this week. I heard the same rumor that the cars are being held until March for official release date. I hope it isn't true.

I confirmed with my dealer today. The cars are starting to hit the port but will not be released until 1st or 2nd week of March. This happened with my F10. I had one of the first ones.

Crap... hopefully they don't get stuck at the VPC like my 2018 E63s did for months on end....

Just heard back from my dealer. The cars are being held for a recall for the fuel line. They said it can take 2 weeks so either way it looks like early March delivery

So is it official that every dealer will hold all HEA cars at port until March for delivery?
