I did the same thing. Ordered my BMW in Germany and had it shipped directly to South Carolina where I picked it up. It arrived with Euro maps and the GPS was stuck off the coast of Portugal where they did a battery check on the ship. The '09 M3 requires a hard drive update that is covered under warranty and takes a few hours. Just make sure you ask your SA if their update equipment has the software to convert from Euro to US maps. My dealer had to order a DVD from Germany and update their own equipment since it is rare they perform this type of update.
