I have been following your story since day one. I'm glad you have your issues resolved, and I do think getting a new car is the best possible outcome in your scenario. Given their position, I think your dealer did the right things (although diagnosis should be done way sooner).
I hope you won't run into any problems with the new M3!

I just came back from the dealer and they are going to order me a new car , just with the mineral white instead of alpine white and the extended leather.They also gave some good news , since ill have to wait about 2 months for the new car, they said I can drive my old car until the new one arrives(after they fix everything next week). =D
if something happens to the car between now and then, like it gets totaled etc... i hope they don't put the blame on you to try and get out of the deal... just be careful and if possible, i would have told them to just keep the car and drive the loaner until the new car comes...

i would have def accepted the new car if they offered... but i would have doubts about taking my car back and drive it until the new one arrives...

Drive the loaner buddy. Don't risk driving your old car you never know what might happen! Tell him you want to keep driving the loaner for safety reasons and that they are more than welcome to give the m3 as a loaner

yeah dude do not take back the old car. JUST incase they say well youve been driving your old M3 for 2 months now with no problem so we are not giving you a new car. Then youd be really screwed. Drive the loaner

Turn the page, walk away from the old car.
yea but what if some ass sideswipes u... then insurance pays to have the car fixed... and then when u try to trade in the car for the new car, they deny it cause now the car has been in an accident??? you don't want to put extra variables into the equation that are out of your control...
drive the loaner for the 2 months... and if something happens between now and the loaner, ok let insurance cover the loaner... but at least the dealer still has your car to swap for the new one they promised you...
