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.

I would inquire about getting a "solid date" for the part. It's either out of stock, in stock, not shipped, or shipped. If they can't tell you, then that's a problem.
Did they atleast provide you with a BMW loaner car while your M5 has been at shop?
I think the same way.. the less the dealer touches the better.. and if it's not a big issue, I don't bring the car in. The CIC was already removed. So another removal and install won't change the chances of a rattle appearing.
Get a "no BS" ETA and then you can make a decision on drive the car while waiting for part, or leave it at the dealer.
