As a result, an equivalent replacement vehicle is going to cost me thousands more. This doesn't seem fair.

If I go the Lemon Law route to try and be made whole, is BMW forced to see that process out or can they just settle with me before the vehicle is declared a Lemon? In other words, is there any benefit to them in trying to make me happy now?
I am not an attorney but I suspect BMW would much rather settle this w/out declaring the car a “Lemon”. As soon as the car is tagged a lemon it’s resale value will be greatly diminished. I would be prepared to force the lemon issue and make BMW give you a better deal, it’s in their best interest.
