Two things that we learned:
1) our DMV was perplexed and I had to walk them through all the documents
2) the warranty did not transfer.

#1 is not surprising. DMVs don't recruit from the deep end of the pool.
#2 is a bit misleading. BMW warranty stays with the car for 4 years / 50K miles. BMW Service maintenance program does not, as it is non-trasferable (post 2015 or 2016 model year):

Was saving the $1000 down worth it? We'll see at turn in. So far a brake flush cost $175.

There was nothing for the dealer to "handle" - Service warranty is not transferable.
For future reference, $175 for brake flush is kinda rich, and you may want to consider shopping around for service from independent garages.
Personally, I would NEVER take my cars to a BMW dealer for any service that is not free!
