I seriously doubt you have a reasonable chance of getting a class action suit to accomplish much.
Having said that, the solution to your problem is simple. You stop supporting BMW by buying another brand bike. It is simple, effective and less intrusive of requiring a lawyer. It also worked for me after riding the marque for over 3 decades.
BMW is still stuck on stupid IMO for the idea that you are buying a "lifestyle" as opposed to a vehicle. They expect you to get all dewy eyed over the fact that it is German engineering with a roundel on top of it and accept the fact that they are putting out a bike that is maintenance intensive. In the club here it's called drinking the koolaid. Zere ist nein problem mit der motorad, yet zere will be a zolution for der nonexistink issue in a couple years like der non existink surge.
Tired of the issues? Dump them and move on to something that is better suited for you. Eventually they may get the idea when sales drop.
Suing them won't really get their attention. They have in the past already indicated they find the US to be a smaller part of their market. They also dropped the BMW system helmet for US sales over suit concerns years ago. You could buy them in Canada but not the US because they felt the market was not worth the trouble.
