I have great news - seems like BMWNA really pulled some strings to get me straightened out. Many thanks to Donnie Isley (PCD instructor) and Danielle Swain for working their magic. Not only did they tell me that I can have the PCD date I needed, but they will have the car re-routed to SC once its off the ship in NJ. WOW!!! Can't believe how fast, responsive, and polite they were. Its things like this that makes me a BMW lover forever!
Now, I'm just waiting to hear confirmation from my dealer that all this is set in stone. I did a lot of the legwork to contact the right folks, so I'm still expecting something from my dealer as compensation. I think I'll start with the aero kit
