There are so few of these cars available, you really do need to be prepared to move quickly and have it shipped or travel.
Good luck! You are on the right track.

Good advice
I found, I think it was M sport and, by the time I called the dealer few hours later it was gone. Soon after saw the second one of these up on BMW CPO site (couldn't believe my luck as it has DHP too and was in my preferred color) 3 years old CPO, Euro delivery, with 20K miles on it. Same as Boulder Bill, I didn't feel I was ready initially, but then I realized it was kinda "now or never" type of thing. Long story short, drove to dealer 6 hours away to check it, test drive and close the deal.
That said, there was one here on the forum (upstate NY I think, can't remember the details) that was unable to sell for 2-3 weeks, so you never know. Good luck, hope you find it quickly.
