In the process of working with Sonic/Birmingham BMW to settle on something they have if we can agree on terms or else they'll be building me a new one. Really frustrating. Lemon law has kicked in now with them having had my car for over 30 days and not being able to fix the car after 3rd attempt.
Very sorry to read this. That has to be very frustrating, to say the least. I hope they have something or can locate something that's equivalent to your existing vehicle. If they can't and you decide to move forward with the build, what happens in the interim period? Do you drive the existing vehicle? Do they provide a loaner? I've never known anyone that had a car in which the lemon law could be invoked, so would be very curious to know how its handled.
