dealer price is $67500 not willing to negotiate at all.
Any thoughts...?

The price/value discussion notwithstanding, have you verified the issue was actually fixed? Lemon laws are there for a reason and even if you did get a price/deal that met your $$ requirements, is it worth the hassle of not having one of the key functions of the vehicle potentially not working properly? What are the implications on your warranty regarding a lemon branded vehicle?
FWIW, I recently had my X7 windshield replaced. After the replacement, there was an error with the Advanced Driver System, with the KAFAS camera ultimately requiring replacement. All is working fine now, but in the case of the car you are looking at, I would be very careful that everything works as it should.
Replacing the KAFAS camera and reprogramming the car (which is just updating the software in the car) is an easy fix. There has to be another reason the car was branded a lemon and would be cause for concern with me.
