Seems like a bad PR move on their part though. If you can't get cars out to journalists before deliveries to dealerships, that's their problem. If they want to control the narrative, they should be on top of it.
Agreed-- I'm sure the press reviews occured months ago (I can always check my press source), but a moot point to have the press global embargo expire days prior to customer market launch and wild west dealerships ignoring said instructions of no test drives. Should of held the G80/G82's at the VPC's, but it would have been a logistical nightmare to store for cars weeks and then rush transport to dealerships. BMW didn't think this through that they could control the dealerships.
