Now come-on Papito135, you know better than that, those useless fu*kers have nothing to do with this. The EPA stuff was a long-ago thing.

Yeah, I know. I got to blame someone :iono:

Visited my dealer yesterday and he told me that the -35i's had been cleared by the EPA and they would begin departing the prep center soon, BUT that it might still be til the end of the month before my new 135i could make it the 50 miles or so from Newark. Arrrgghhh!

maxfx · 10-12-2008, 01:46 PM

I hope Twelveup's dealer is right, cause I want to believe that the -35's are now being released by the EPA.

Dave Mac · 10-12-2008, 08:13 PM

I want to believe that too. Then I might get my car this week. I'm not gonna hold my breath though.

Good morning:smile:

Unfortunately, still hanging on for about another week

eleM3ntal · 10-13-2008, 09:28 AM

In 2 days I'll be without a car. I hope this gets sorted out really soon.

aus · 10-13-2008, 09:36 AM

I can't believe my tax dollars pay for CARB, and this state is BROKE!

morgie2 · 10-13-2008, 09:42 AM

It's like most governmental programs, dealings or whatever. CARB is a GREAT idea. It is done in the world's best interest for global warming and air quality. The problem comes when the power to carry out the process is put in the hands of hacks and people who don't really care and aren't held accountable for their lack responsibility, let the games begin.

drewnyc135 · 10-13-2008, 10:13 AM

my dealer just sent me a long letter - a little bit after the fact - talking about this epa holdup and that they are hoping to get this sorted out by the end of the month.

has anyone heard anything concrete about this thing being dealt with yet?

dbtheo · 10-13-2008, 11:21 AM

The only ones that are going to be driven crazy is you. It's not the first the time we've had to deal with stuff like this, it sucks, but it happens. Best thing you can do is not bug your dealer, because they can do absolutely nothing. If you are going to be without transportation before then, talk to your dealer, mayber they can set you up with a loaner vehicle. Everybody's cars will begin arriving probably around the 22nd -24th & so forth. :smile:

Trust me is sucks for us dealers too, we have a bunch of sold cars waiting to be delivered. Not to mention the cars that are unsold, that we want to sell.

Brandon26pdx · 10-13-2008, 12:24 PM

Beaurcratic red tape, gotta love it.

aus · 10-13-2008, 03:08 PM

I'm looking into an M3 now. The lease rates are CRAZY.

Greg@UnitedBMW · 10-14-2008, 11:33 AM

CARB executive orders are expected approx. 10/24. Cars will ship ASAP after. Dealing with the EPA means there is no guarantee of dates though...

BMW_x5_Msport · 10-15-2008, 09:28 AM

day 16 at the port i wounder if my car is out side getting bird shit on it of worst? i want my car now! this fuc*ing sucks! i think i am going crazy

morgie2 · 10-15-2008, 08:16 PM

This CARB thing is getting really old really fast.

Dave Mac · 10-15-2008, 08:55 PM

If I have to wait much longer I'm going to buy an angel eyes kit for my wife's Accord and rice the sh*t out if it. Maybe an "M" badge too. lol
