Certainly, bad publicity hurts both the dealer, and BMW directly, but after skimming through the salient points on the thread you linked, that was in 2008. Again, I'm sure you are aware, but social media has changed drastically in the past 7 years and most major corporations are much, much more aware of the negative (or positive) impact social media has nowadays.
Either way, two completely different situations, two different time periods. I doubt the issue/thread you linked to has any relevant bearing whatsoever on the OP's current situation.
OP, best of luck to you, and again, as I mentioned, I would go with chronicling this on social media. In my opinion, it has a strong possibility of helping your case, and very little chances of hurting your case.

But you did speak to the legal issue, and were wrong. And now you're changing the subject where I've responded to someone else's suggestion that "bad publicity" may work.
It won't. BMW NA was taking a pounding in the disappointed M3 bidder thread I linked. BMW NA didn't care. Even though the thread had gone viral with over a million hits.
