The demo car belongs to the dealer and they have certain requirements flowed down to them from BMW (required options, minimum time to be able to sell it, etc). If you have worked with a dealer to 'configure' the car, that's all it is, helping them configure a car that is owned by them until you buy it. I don't think you will even show up as the owner in all of the paperwork when it gets shipped to the dealership. Your ownership will happen when they are actually able to sell the car. Sounds like you already have an agreement with them to buy the car after the 'demo' phase is over. It will be driven by any number of people.. on the plus side, you may (or SHOULD) get a good deal for it since a demo car is used excessively but you also may not depending on how much they want to mark it up.
I should add if you've been specifically told you are getting the demo car, then all I said above applies. I don't think them getting the first delivery IMPLIES it is a demo car, it may very well be a customer ordered car (in this case yours). Usually dealers get a chance to configure and order the demo car in advance of the general customer orders.
