Hmm confusing. You're in California, right? Are you saying the South Carolina-built X5s are waterway-shipped to your one location from the factory? You may be thinking of other BMWs that aren't built in the states.

I was led to believe the prep center is right 'next door' to the factory in SC. Then it gets trucked (aka shipped) to their dealer in the US where they take delivery.
