Here is where I need advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation or read about another member in one.

Although BMW Bellevue seems to be about as good as a BMW dealer gets, they're probably not going to go for either option; both are quite expensive.
I hope that your advisor is Cliff Newton, who is clearly the best advisor there. Mike Mills is the service manager; you'll probably end up talking to him.
BMW's new parts ordering system is for $hit. Be sure to have them call the other two dealers (Seattle, Tacoma), even the two Portland ones and Spokane and Vancouver BC ones. Or have them expedite it from Germany - there are daily flights from Frankfurt so they should be able to get it here.
NB: In retrospect, it's not good that I know the service manager's name, is it?
