Everybody seems to think that BMW is either going to pay for the dealer's mistake (not likely, btw) or that they are somehow going to force the dealer to do something that he wasn't going to do anyway (remember, the dealer already took responsibility).
The dealer agreement talks about standards of service. I haven't seen anything posted yet that says the dealer was violating those standards. It is the dealer's problem to fix, not BMW's. If BMW want to say "look how much we care" then great. But show us the money.
It is quite a different thing if the vehicle is under the BMW warranty, and BMW doesn't agree with how their dealer is handling their warranty. Then, they have an obvious role to play.
I think the dealer will resolve this issue to the satisfaction of the OP. They need to. But having been on both sides of that negotiation more than once (dealer, and distributor, not with BMW) the distributor doesn't have a lot of money to spend on investments in potential future customers, especially on 8 year old vehicles. Their oversight role is simply ensuring that the dealer is following fair business practices.

Bro , nobody said BMWNA will pay for anything....I'm just saying that BMWNA , USA , CANADA etc do have their right to get involved in a dealer to costumer problem resolution....All I mentionned ( and others) was to have BMWNA involved in this situation. Nothing wrong with that but you had another opinion ( that I respect ) but for me the case is closed once the OP announced us that BMWNA is getting involved in this situation....
Anyways , everyone has their own opinion and it's all good. And I continue to think that it's a good thing that bmwna and dealer will COLLABORATE to give full satisfaction to a valuable client...
