Even "free" it still sucks to make car payments while the car stays in the shop so long. Had a Bronco II set at the dealership for 2 months, under warranty, because they couldn't find the bad injector wiring. And it took 3 dealerships to find the problem.
And 6k doesn't seem too far out of line, for a BMW, because I saw the invoice where the VW stealer charged $2,400.00 back to the "warranty" ...for a blower motor repair on my old VW. A friend paid $2,500.00 for "fuel system repair" on his Jaguar - they replaced 1 tiny piece of fuel hose.
While I agree it sucks to be without your car, but a luxury dealer such as BMW, Benz, Lexus, etc give you a loaner while they have your car, and it wont be a Ford loaner. You get a Lexus loaner.
Hell the Lexus dealer comes to my parents house to pick up my moms car for an oil change, gives her a loaner, and brings hers back when its done fully detailed.
Its a different world working with luxury dealers than a Ford dealer.
Btw what are car payments?
