However after 35+ days in the shop and numerous service records I would argue that the vehicles value has been significantly diminished. I am going to see a lawyer this week about a "lemon law" buy back however I would encourage us all to think about the reputational damage BMW has done to this car, good luck reselling this car. In today's connected world all of the service records for our vehicles are easily accessed and frequently become a data point in the sale. I think we have a good case for a class action law suit. I am surprised at the comments in this forum about the kind of loaner car BMW supplies and the parts we are getting for "free" ....this is all noise the real issue is the diminished value causes by these defects

First mistake you made is calling BMW USA. You've put them on notice ... and they'll be ready if/when you want to sue.
What state do you live in? State laws determine "lemon laws". It's easy to find out. After you called, BMW probably checked and already know the answer that you are now going to pay for by consulting a lawyer ...
This campaign (it is
NOT a recall) was carefully put together by actuaries and lawyers. You can by absolutely sure that all possible scenario's were considered before the campaign was issued.
