Lease Buyout Rules

BMW Financial Services allows the original lessee to purchase the leased vehicle at any time, with specific conditions based on state regulations.

  • The purchase option price (residual value) is specified in the lease agreement. Contact BMW Financial Services at 800-578-5000 or log into your account to obtain a payoff quote.
  • Third-party buyouts are permitted in some states, but restrictions may apply. Dealers must request a dealer payoff quote, which may differ from the lessee’s residual value.
  • Buyouts are typically processed through an authorized BMW dealer. A signed Odometer Disclosure Statement is required.
  • Early buyouts are allowed if permitted by the lease contract, but may include remaining lease payments and a purchase option fee (typically up to $500).
  • The disposition fee may be waived if you lease or purchase a new BMW vehicle.
  • Additional fees (e.g., sales taxes, registration, title fees) may apply, varying by state. Contact your local DMV for details.

Contact your authorized BMW dealer or BMW Financial Services at 800-578-5000 to discuss buyout options and confirm eligibility, providing your account number or VIN.
