Subaru recently did something like this when they found there were faulty welds on their new Ascent SUV - all cars were recalled and destroyed - customers got new vehicles. Its the right thing to do. Cant see why BMW wouldn't do this for such a small # of cars. Anyway wishing the OP best of luck.
Welds are a little more severe problem as it sounds these could compromise the structural safety and integrity of the vehicles on a crash.

But yes, I do concur. The least BMW could do is to buy back the 12 affected vehicles and write them off as an operating loss.
