M2's Being Held Up At Port?

I've been doing some looking around and a few M2s have been held up due to "Engineering data" and a "Release Hold".

I remember the G12s had a slight issue when the HEAs first came to dealerships for a programming glitch but does anyone know what the reason is for this one?

Cars have not been EPA approved. This was discussed in more detail in another thread.

The short of it though is that they'll sit there until they get EPA approval which could be before, the day of, or after the launch date of April 16th.

Can you post the email? Is it from your BMW Dealer? I heard same thing from BMW but verbally, no email.

Bit of a silly question. What does HEA stand for? It's a demonstrator car right?

It stands for 'Handler-Erst-Ausstattung', so basically first cars to be produced and aimed to be used as dealer demos.
