Still Waiting For My X5 35d - Told There Is A New Stop Sale Bulletin
Hey guys, I am patiently awaiting my 2012 X5 35d. It went into production with an estimated completion date of 11/7. On the 7th, the vehicle was at Status 155 - Assembly Finish /Quality Check. Since then there has been no movement.
My dealer has been trying to get an update for a week and yesterday was finally told there was a new Stop Sale Bulletin issued on the X5 Diesel related to a problem with a bolt attaching the engine drive belt pulley. Has anyone experienced a stop sale in the past or have more info on this situation? Any sense for how long these Stop Sales can last?

Dealer has promised delivery before Thanksgiving. I sold my car last week when they told me production was finished and the car was on schedule. Now I am paying for a rental car. Hoping the dealer will get me a loaner if this is going to take a while.

Just took delivery of our 2012 x5d on the 13th. I'll have to be on the lookout for this recall. Thank for that info.

Was at the dealer on Saturday and they let me take a short drive in an x5d...had to keep it short because of the stop order. Said they were expecting parts to arrive shortly but that they couldn't sell me the car I drove. I put an order in on a '13.
