Although I completely understand the desire for a new car, does it make financial sense for BMW to give him a new car? Nope. Will they do it out of the goodness of their heart...? I don't think so.

It's like someone who buys a car. Big accident. Needs lots of repairs. Car not totalled because... car is a high-priced car and is still worth more than the repair bill.

Owner can't drive the car any more because of the memory of the accident. Owner can't sell the car because no one wants to buy a car that was in such a big accident. Owner stuck with car. Will the insurance company give him a new car for his peace of mind? I don't think so...

That said, I *hope* OP can work out a deal to get a new car in some way (maybe "trade in" this car for a new car??), without it costing him too much. I think I'd want the same thing.
