I was able to lemon law and get BMW to pay me back almost every cent I put into an '09 35d (every payment, all the down payment, taxes, etc.)- starting with a phone call to BMW NA in Jersey to start a claim.

I do agree with your last post. BMW NA had the dealer review the lemon law claim first (Service Manager - who did not have a horse in the race - can say no every time), which of course said the claim did not qualify as lemon law. I the requested the regional service manager to review.

Don't know if the RSM did look at the case but was called by BMW NA stating they would buy the vehicle back. I may have been lucky it went smooth. Lengthy, but smooth.
