The ED specialists were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ease the situation to the point of approving an F80 M3 rental (to keep my ED experience as authentic as possible). I'd also like to think they were influential in expediting the repair of my vehicle.
Instead of renting an F80, I actually got to take delivery late Monday! In the last 48hrs I've had tons of fun - in my OWN car - driving 700+ miles through 5 countries and the "go to ED mountain passes" (Stelvio, Gothard, Furka, Grimsel etc). I'm trying to get another 300 on it tomorrow so I can get it serviced prior to going to the Ring this weekend (hit me up if any of you will be there).
It seems like the recall and fix is moving in the right direction. I met an M2 owner on Monday who was also able to take his car. Hopefully BMW makes good with everyone else asap.

Sounds great. Congratulations.
