Talked to my dealer today. My car is in B4 status but no VIN yet so that means MB has not updated the system for the VIN or the car will be built at any moment. Man it's getting harder and harder to wait!!! I asked him how long its been taking from production to arrival and he didn't really give me an answer other than his perception is that the E's are a little slower than other models. He then said he thinks it will be here this month. I sure hope so!

Sorry to hear that. I'd say it will delay things a while. From what I've read everything is at a complete stand still and it will take a while to get caught up once the docks open.
