Why is BMW holding 2023 models that have already arrived in the US?

My 2023 M850 GC has been sitting at the VPC in New Jersey since 3/31/2022. My dealership says BMW corporate won’t release it to the dealership yet. Very strange.

It is also possible they don't have final EPA approval and ratings to print the Monroney sticker. It's happened before.

Any update on 2023 8 series release date?

My 2023 M850 GC is still sitting at the VPC in New Jersey with no known delivery date to the dealership! What is the hold up? It’s been there since 3/31/2022.

Not sure if you are trolling??? I'll assume not

He is referring to the EPAs approval of the vehicle to bmw that it meets emissions standards.

This isn't a public process but we are lucky to have insiders in the know….

Dated one-month ago.

Anyone else find it odd that it includes the B8 and the M850 in the same certification?

Same application/test group. Lemetier might be referring to a different certificate.

My 2023 M8 GC has been at the Galveston VPC since 3/30. I just spoke with the Genius line and was told it is scheduled for transport this Friday. I'm guessing it was the certificate being released was the trigger.

That's the approval date; not the Publication Date. It was published no more than an hour before my reply above.

US Alpina models are not VIN'd as Alpina cars and have the Basis Variant Type Code and model designation.

Which would imply that there is no difference in the engine between the two models.

Not even remotely implied.

Well, thanks for that. Still not sure how an EPA certification can cover two different engines, but it apparently is what it is. It's all self-testing anyway.

Maybe this older application for a different N63 test group sheds light?
