BMW UK won’t provide key for theft-recovered vehicle

So, I bought a stolen, recovered car off of an auction site. It’s now a “Cat N” but came with no keys. NPC is clear so there's no stolen flag in their system or on HPI, but BMW has the VIN recorded as stolen. I've been on the phone for eight hours straight ping-ponging between three different police forces, the DVLA, and BMW headquarters. All three police forces insist the VIN and the reg do not have markers but BMW says it does.

The only way BMW will take the flag off the car is if the police email them and say it's not stolen, but the police are saying that they've done their job properly so they're not going to email BMW which I understand. And BMW, being BMW, will not contact the police.

So right now I am left with a car with no keys and no solution. Can anyone assist by providing a solution or even making me a key.

Thanks
