When your
lease ends
Are you ready for the inspection? Cracked windshield? Body damage? Worn tires?
Trade up, buy it, or return it.
If you return the car, BMW Financial Services offers a complimentary pre-inspection. If you buy the car, you skip extra wear or extra miles at turn-in.
The keys stay yours.
Ask for a payoff through BMW Financial Services or the My BMW app.
Are you ready for your lease-end inspection?
Walk the car the way they will. Did you check for a cracked windshield? Any existing body damage? Tires worn down? Wheels gouged from a curb?
Tires
BMW asks for at least 4/32 of an inch of tread at the thinnest point, matching size and speed rating. If the car came with run-flat tires, it should go back with run-flat tires.
What to bring back
All keys, manuals, and accessories that came with the car. Aftermarket parts left on the car can be a charge.
