Hey Ron,
Any chance you can have your friend look into our build? Its been stuck at B4 for a bit and I am concern it wont arrive on April 26th when we return our 2015 X5d at lease end. I already extended it to max of 6 months allowed by BMW. BMW really wants us to buy another X5 and we kept pushing it off but they wont allow more than 6 months lease extension which is very ridiculous.
I can give you build number?
Thanks!

My delivery
My car finished production last Saturday, 4/6 and shipped 4/8; showing ETA to dealer of 4/24. 
I'm selling my current car 4/21 and dealer offered me a loaner for the gap. I'm getting excited now! This is from NetStar today:

My GLE 450 arrived this AM on the exact date scheduled and is in Prep. I won’t pick it up until Wednesday or Thursday since they are doing Xpel
protective film before I take delivery. I might get time tomorrow to take a look at the fit and finish but was told that it is very good. Finally after almost a 5 month wait.��

2020 Mercedes GLE 450
So I just got a call from Dealer today about my order (placed 2 weeks ago). He said the estimated build date is August, but, the only issue is, Mercedes doesn't have E-ABC for it. He said there is no estimate on how long the delay, nor did they mention about the cause. They just said its not available. I am not sure what I should do at the moment. I told the SA that I would wait a few weeks to see if there is more information on the same build (with E-ABC).

The SA told me the opposite lol. He said no one must be ordering it so Mercedes is not building it... I feels like he underestimate the number of people who wants E-ABC

Production
So, a body could be assigned a VIN and just set there for weeks until all the other parts are available. No way they are going to partially assemble a vehicle then pull it from the line to wait. Mine took 5 1/2 weeks from that time to finish.
