Anyone else in a similar situation? My M3 is paid for btw, so any discounts that BMW would give for a lower lease payment doesn't apply to me.

I ran into the same situation...had a buyer private party and was going to do an in and out with the dealership to save on taxes, then they ran the VIN and realized it was impacted by the Takata recall. Really sucks as it cost me $1,500 or so in tax savings.
I can understand why they don't want the car though, they just have to sit on it apparently. I'd look into selling it private party if you're in need of the cash and hopefully you can get a bit more than the dealer was going to offer you too.
Good luck!
