Diamond White Delay??

I just got word that there is continued delay on my 350BT for California that relates to Diamond White issues. I have seen at least one Diamond White online with pics at the dealer (a 550).

To the super-members with inside info:

Is there a significant issue with Diamond White???

Strange it just relates to Cali? I do really like the color though.

It is indeed frustrating that MB rolls out a new and desirable product and then you go to order what you want and some of the advertised NEW and INNOVATIVE options, i.e. "surround camera", "distronic" "diamond white" "leather?" "power fold 2nd row" are all limited or delayed! Not sure what the issues are....but lousy business practice!
