one of the criteria for meeting the lemon law definition in CA is if your car is in repair for 30 or more days, which you apparently meet. But there are no hard-and-fast rules, so a judge may say that 42 days to swap the engine is "reasonable."

Are you really serious about this? It seems that you have been treated fairly well, and while being without the car for over a month is a hassle you've had a loaner and been allowed to skip a payment. If they are able to resolve the last issues under warranty, whatever they are, why pursue the lemon law option?
because it is the American way

In all seriousness, I agree with you. OP didn't follow the dealers instructions to stop the car and pull over. Expects his car to be brought in for a fix right away regardless of the other cars that are in for service or repairs which is probably the reason why they were booked for 4 weeks. To the OP, the dealer / BMWNA doesn't just replace motors at first sign of a problem... these things take time and they try to minimize cost as much as possible.

Good Luck.
