Some customers will receive really good discounts, or maybe some of their money back. Bmw will have to make good in some form to it's customers cars it lost. Think about why would BMW risk a law suit.
How on earth is a car damaged in a shipping container or during transport any different than hail damage or vandalism on a car lot? Any car that has not been sold to a consumer or been issued a title is a new car and will remain a new car until so, even if it requires minor repairs as long as it can't be considered a totaled vehicle...frame/chassis damage, etc.

P.S. It's sell
