Ten days on the road if my math is OK.

The dealership (BMW Portland) gave me a temp registration to tape to the back window for the trip. And then mailed my plates to me after I got home. (If you're in Portland you could just stop by the dealership; I'm down by Salem.)

I had some "pits" in the paint on the hood from insect hits when I got back but I got the car ceramic coated and the paint correction took care of those no problem.

Thanks..we are in Bend. I don’t think this is going to work for me. I’m buying it in SoCal and he was shipping to me. Then I’d have to register it myself. The SoCal guy can’t register it to me in Oregon, so he won’t be able to do the same thing your dealer did (give me a temp registration). Unless I can register it without actually having the car. I’m getting an I4 from an Oregon dealer but he didn’t get any x5 allocations right away and also wouldn’t give me much of a deal. That’s why I went south.
