Any new M5s in socal yet?
I am waiting on my wife's ordered M5 to get here in a couple of weeks but my wife wants to see one before we buy it. Any on the ground here for demo and such near Los Angeles?

No. Your wife's (if it's in fact getting here in a few weeks) will be an HEA unit which means it's the first batch of production. There won't be any demo units available before your wife's - as she's going to be the first. My info is that all HEA units have been delayed to the west cost and are scheduled to arrive in early March.

Ok, Thank you for your help. What does HEA mean? The boat with the car is scheduled to arrive at Port Heuneme on 02/15 so unless there are any delays I should have it by end of Feb. |

No production or transportation delays. Rumor going around about the cars not being released until official launch in early March. My car hits the port this Friday.

Is your car on the Liberty vehicle carrier? My dealer checked is still showing that they will get the car without delay or holds...

In 2012 the new F10s had a waterpump recall and they ran out which delayed delivery for 2 weeks, hope they have plenty of fuel lines. |

Note from my dealer: Vessel: Voyage No.: Bill Of Lading No.: INTEGRITY CB802 ACB80201 18779-01 Your BMW should arrive at the US Port of entry (Baltimore) on February 8th and it takes approximatly 7 days to clear customs, be processed to the transport company and delivered to our dealership and we will need about 8 hours once your vehicle arrives to prepare your it for final delivery to you. |

I just found out that mine is also going to be on hold in the East Coast. 3 factors for the hold are: 1) EPA testing and customs clearance 2) Any recalls or port installs required 3) BMW M5 debut date (TBD but I'm hearing March sometime). Anyone have an idea on the debut date? |

I have confirmation that no port accessories, including exhaust (1MA) will be available for the M5 until the 2019 model year. Only what you see in the US ordering guide is available.
