Not sure if LM had the agreement with BMW back then but I'd be very careful with any 'promise' that insurance companies make, if you don't watch out they will probably screw you somehow.
On the other hand, my friend had Progressive insurance and totaled two cars within two years (one where he slide into a ditch due to severe weather condition and the car was submerged by water, the other one where the car was hit by another vehicle when stopped in emergency zone on highway, and the insurance company of the other company refused to pay) and Progressive paid very good money for both cars without any problem, and one of the vehicles totaled was just purchased and not even listed on the policy at the time of the accident.

I was an imsurance agent in a past life. I have never seen any company payout like Progressive.
