It's not the same type of situation. They ship tens of thousands of engines as part of the supply chain on a routine schedule. Putting a customer car on a ship and through customs twice is not logistically equivalent to that.
If BMW were to allow you to ship the car twice, they might as well just call it worldwide delivery and let you go wherever you want, and regardless of where your car is built for that matter. If you can ship an X5 to Germany and back you can ship my M3 to Abu Dhabi and then to the US. Sure it could be done. But this isn't what the ED program is about.
