Communication is key, I agree, but I don't think BMW has anything meaningful to say yet so they are waiting until they do (although they should have some official announcement in the interim).
I just called BMW relations and your statements are correct - they are playing the diplomatic card "talk to your CA". However, I have a request to speak to a supervisor to echo the message of please keep us informed. Personally, I don't need an update for my specific car today all though it would be nice but collectively I want to convey that communication about status is important as some are growing impatient or running out of other options (primary vehicle) or made travel arrangements (one way ticket to PCD) like me.

I encourage to call BMW relations to echo my sediments if you agree - as a collective whole we are requesting an update/improved communication.

Yeah I think it's unfortunate that basically the dealers have no information and that the folks in corporate point you to them instead of just telling you there is no information.
