I just checked back on this with folks I have been corresponding with inside BMW (NOT just my dealer). They said an EPA/CARB hold is indeed in place on the X5M and X6M vehicles. ...and they confirmed it directly with BMWNA when I mentioned we had conflicting info (apparently its not just the M3/M5).

Even if production is completed, they can't release/deliver them before the hold is removed. Its not unusual, but it may be a couple of weeks before the vehicles are released. Two sources inside BMW seem to indicate your Ohio dealer may not have the correct info...

I'ld be happy if this WASN'T the case, but apparently it is...
