Angry EPA may hold certain 09 models until 10/24???

Man, WTF?!?

This is completely contradicted by my CA, who just e-mailed me today to inform me that my 335i is being loaded on to a truck this morning should be headed to Norcal as I type. So confusing...

The EPA has not granted certificates to several of the 2009 models as of yet. CARB has also not certified a variety of models and may delay the 10/13 pickup date for 2009 MY vehicles as we had originally been informed and expressed to you.

The following should be CARB certified by the end of the week: X5 xDrive30i, X5 xDrive48i, X6 xDrive50i, 550i and 650i.

The EPA has not certified the following models as of today: X6 xDrive35i, 135i, 335i and 535i and are not expected to pass the CARB requirements until around the 24th. These models may be delayed being sent to dealers due to these certification hold ups.

These are the only models being held at this time. 2009 LCI E90 328s have already hit several dealers today and should be in the hands of owners shortly.

We will keep you updated as we hear more.
