Id have a face to face with my local dealer about my dilemma, basically saying, "I need their level of communication... Can you guys do better?".
Technically you have three dealers within "relative close" proximity outside of your hometown dealer. Certainly better than most who live stateside. The closest to me is an hour and a half away.
Bolton, Ontario - Just under 4 hours North Chicago - right at 5 hours Morgantown - right over 5 hours
I have visited the Chicago location. It was nothing special of a location and very much a mechanic shop with a showroom of older cars (mostly british), however the gentleman who owns the place could not have been nicer. Sadly he had just sold the M3W they had in the showroom at the time so I still haven't seen one in person.
