You've waited this long. Perhaps it's better you don't put down the money and end up with a car that's in the shop that you can't use. Let BMW get things figured out.
My dad has an early production SMG on a 2001 M3. He's never had a problem with it in the 7 years he's owned the car.

I have to say I'm a little more optimistic about this than you are.
