The above seems like heresay, sorry. Please provide a reference s.a. BMW, not "some guy on the Internet." My experience as well as other posts proves this wrong completely.
I know that leases are structured a certain way but the disposition of the car is entirely up to BMW and perhaps the dealer. They can do whatever they feel is right with it. Its probably the same logic that has BMW selling the car to the leasee at a discount - they would be stuck with a car that has lower value anyway....
