It was probably imposed on him by dealer. Given international price arbitrage opportunities, dealers have to be seen as trying their best to not sell cars to overseas export buyers (as this is something BMW would punish as a violation of their franchise agreement). Insisting a third party registers the car and not yourself, is one way that a dealer can reduce this risk. Most dealers don't have such policies but I have encountered a few that do.
