I doubt it. BMW still wants to sell/lease you another car.

I'm not sure how much damage and what type you had on yours, but on mine that had a bit here and there (scratched 18" gunmetals, etc), BMWFS charged me $0 and actually gave me some incentive for being a "loyal customer" (it probably helped that I drove home a 2011 M3 selected from a dealer's lot when I returned the 2008 M3 - i.e. I already signed on the contract for another M3 by the time the inspectors went thru the car). The charge became a $0 because, when I called BMWFA to explain about a little thing w/ missing M3 floormats (long story, but the CA f'd up something), BMWFA promptly refunded the charge.

What you do is try to lease another M3 with them and at the millisecond that you're about to sign, show them that $640 bill.
My guess is that they will just absorb that and forget about it (since they'll earn multiple times that again).
If they don't, walk away.
