EPA/CARB hold on 2013 335?!@#%%#@

mdcubsfan · 07-10-2012, 12:44 AM

Talked to my CA this morning, giving him 3 dates for PCD delivery.....he initially said car would be ready in late Aug, early Sept....

He calls back this afternoon, says there is a EPA/CARB hold on the car as mine would be one of the first 10-20 2013 335 made!!! Not sure how he got that number....just placed my order 2 Fridays ago (10 days ago).....

Now he's telling me to expect delivery in Houston in mid Sept, and that PCD is full until after OCT 5.....

Anyone else hear anything about this? He said it's "inside information," but I couldn't find anything at all about this....

Now wondering if I still do the PCD - I'd have to wait an additional 3 or more weeks!

Spoke with my CA yesterday and he didn't mention anything. We are still on schedule for the build to start in Aug with delivery early Sept. Ordered mine on 6/30.

Sound like your CA ordered a extra special 335i for you.

I also am facing the EPA/CARB hold on my 328 MSport but I've never heard those kind of dates from my CA for PCD. We're still shooting for mid-/late-August PCD (if possible). Of course, PCD can't confirm any dates until the hold is removed. I believe that the car is enroute from München to Bremerhaven as we speak.
