Try one of the dealers near the Vehicle Preparation Center (Port Hueneme - Ventura).
Use the ploy of wanting to drive up Highway 1 as your first experience in the car.
I grew up in Santa Barbara and think that most would understand - given the route's inherent attractiveness.
Also, try and get ahold of your BMW market manager - you can get his name from a dealer or from a BMW Owner Circle request. That individual may help you find a reasonable local dealer.
Good luck,
Steve
