I think a petition to reinstate ED program is a good idea. At least BMW will get additional data points about its popularity.

From BMW quarterly earning report released on May 6, 2020 (fresh off the press):

https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwin.../#1b5c9e81468c

"In March, BMW said it expected profits to maybe halve in 2020, as the impact of the coronavirus hits sales, economies and consumer confidence, with the automotive EBIT profit dropping to between 2% and 4%."

"The highest negative impact is expected in the second quarter of 2020".

In the view of 50% reduction in 2020 profits, it's unlikely BMW will reinstate ED program any time soon.
