2) At what point do you get notified to pick up the car and how much flexibility are you given to pick up the car - are you expected to go immediately or do you have several weeks to coordinate the time?
Thanks!

I actually final-signed my lease in the middle of the performance center delivery, and dropped it off at a UPS office the next morning. I did have an unsigned lease contract in hand, but the mileage was incorrect, so I didn't sign-off on that one. This left us with morning of UPS shipment to the hotel, but the bill of sale was already signed and provided to BMW Perf. Ctr.
If the first lease didn't have the mileage term stated incorrectly, it would have been signed by me 3 days before delivery scheduled, and mailed back the next morning.
When you order the car and say you want to do a PCD your salesman should ask you for a few date options you'd prefer. You should shoot for the 4-6 week out window here if a shorter time is important to you. I got the email confirming my date as the 29th on the 12th of that same month. So I had 16-17 days advance notice that the date was approved to coordinate airfare/road trip hotels/etc.
If the date wouldn't have worked for me, the email on the 12th advised me to reply asap in that case. I'm sure flexibility is their forte here, and moving back is a much more likely option than moving it up.
