Lease-End Guide and Options

The Road Ahead

If you are currently leasing through BMW Financial Services, you may have questions about what to expect at the end of your lease.  This guide provides you with an explanation of lease-end options,the procedures to follow at vehicle turn-in, and examples of what we consider "acceptable wear and use."

With three months to go before your current lease ends, you have several exciting choices in front of you. 

The four routes represent your four choices.  The route you travel next depends entirely upon what you plan on doing with your current BMW.  Review the choices that you have and pick the best option for you.

Should you have any questions, please call your BMW Financial Services Lease-End Relationship Consultant at 1-800-959-4BMW.
