UK EMBARGO

Heard today, from UK dealer, that there is a UK embargo on all 8 Series pending some update (didn't pay attention to what, but probably software). None to released until late January.

Issue evidently:

Programming issue with the BMW idrive

An embargo is a formal or state-sponsored ban. Are the cars being banned, or merely delayed to fine-tune the iDrive? In which case the post title should have shouted UK DELAY.
