After your CIC is replaced you should be ok.
I know you said your car has been in the shop longer than your garage.. Did you take delivery and drive the car for 3 days and it's been in the shop for 4??
How long has the dealer had it? I would imagine it shouldn't take any longer than a week to trouble shoot and eventually order a new CIC from Germany - assuming its in stock and overnighted.

Therein lies the problem as the part is not in stock. 5-10 business days is what they are telling me. Dealer has had it for over a week, but it only took them a few days to realize they needed a new CIC. They've been kind of stringing me along saying it's going to arrive on the next shipment, and then the next and then so-on.
Now my dilemma is do I just have them re-assemble it with the bad CIC and at least drive it versus letting it sit outside waiting for the part. I don't like the idea of taking stuff in/out as that's how rattles start, but I also don't like my car sitting out for 2 weeks in the elements. It didn't look like they had to take that much apart to get to the part. We'll see.
