maybe you should state what part of LA, it'll probably help with the suggestions. LA is pretty huge.

i was a carhauler for 14 yrs. high end cars are transported by reliable carriers, and horseless carriage inc. best in the buisness. normal carriers would be das, auto auction, or allied systems. to go cross country you are looking at 600 to 3000 $
i would advise you to closely foto your car the day of pickup with the date on the fotos. stay woith the driver while he inspects the car. then carefully inspect the car upon delivery. enclosed carriers will be more $ than the open carriers

thats not too bad of a price. i pay $1400 for my 2bd. you can probably find more apt with garages if u look closer to oc like in brea or something. not sure how far you want to drive though.

and registration too. he might need to smog it too if the 335i isn't built to california spec. I dont know if bmw made a 50 state car or just state spec cars. I remember some mazda's and gm cars had california spec cars and non-california spec cars too.

technically i believe you have to apply to have it changed within 14days if you intend to be a resident and they give you a couple of months to get plates.

trust me, arnold is very strict on smog and registration.
