BMW tell me that if I crash it, it MUST go back to Munich for repair. Apparently, this is keeping insurance premiums very high for this car!

The problem is it is made of aluminium and not many body shops can properly fix it. I think I heard there are 3 places in the US to do it (and I recall correctly they are the BMW VPCs- NJ, Greer, SC and Oxnard, CA). The Ferrari F50 (maybe also the F40) was in the same boat due to the carbon fiber body. I think the Audi A8 must also be reapaired that way since it is also a mostly aluminium contruction.
