But I am told that the cars have passed with the latest software update and they are just waiting for the paperwork to come thru so they can be released and sold to customers. I was told these aren't rumours and I should expect my car end of august & we have a long train ride out to Alberta.
I certainly am getting an indication of late August too. I'm surprised though about the dealer getting a delivery then a stop sell. I was told no car could leave Halifax since late May (sadly mine has been there since then)
Is your source (about passing the second test) a dealer or someone at MB Canada? Thanks

He is a dealer but the info comes to him from MB Canada. This dealer has 7 e63s at port so has been on top of this. The car making it through could have been a gtr as I asked him about that too.

Thanks! My dealer is also in the same situation with a magnificent GT R that they cannot deliver. Makes better sense now.
