absolutely. The thing that people often have a misconception of is the dealers and BMWNA are one. They are not.
The dealers are essentially resellers and they often don't really care in a buyback situation because BMWNA are the people that actually buys your car back (they cut the check)
Like ARD said it's good to let them know and put pressure on them but you need to also leverage BMWNA customer relations to have both sides pressured. It is a lot easier if the dealer is on your side and advocate your case to BMWNA and vice versa.

Back to the OP- Have you notified BMWNA?
So, you say, BMW was surely "aware" of it, since it is at a BMW dealer, right?
Wrong. Or not necessarily.
The BMW dealer in Portland is NOT BMWNA. In actual fact BMWNA may be totally unaware of your issue or problems or delays! Once they are aware of this, THEY will push the dealer. Too many times bad dealers and bad techs create situations where BMWNA gets caught holding the bag at the end of the process.
Call consumer relations on Monday, demand that the Regional Rep calls you.
