I was thinking of this as a cool business idea that can be applied across multiple car manufacturers, but I think it'll also be fun if BMW did it in house:

BMW ///M can come up with a lease program that allows lessees to swap M cars amongst each other throughout the 3 year lease. They can charge a premium to manage the program and I'm sure some frequent lease customers and even those who have never leased before (like me) would consider something like that.

The program makes you swap your M every 6 months so you basically get 6 different M cars in the 3 year period. There may need to be a pre-set date to enter the program each year. Cars move from person to another (through local dealerships). Mileage overage = extra $. So many options from M2 to M3/M4 to X3M/X4M to M5 to X5M/X6M to M8 etc. and you can specify if coupe is okay or not. You get to try everything (and make your neighbors jealous) while paying the average lease price which wouldn't be terrible based on BMW lease rates

Who's in? Just for fun

That's nice but those are monthly memberships that don't really offer the value part based on the prices posted.

I'm thinking the average payment should be a little over $1k per month in the US for 10k miles per year based on

- M2, X3M, X4M say $800 per month
- M3, M4 say $1k per month
- M5, X5M, X6M say $1200 per month
- M8 ?

Maybe I'm just crazy & bored

that opens up so many variables with transfers, maint/wear n tear, customer complaints... man that would be a headache! cool concept though but sounds like a nightmare for BMW

I can imagine the huge mess at the end of the lease period when the car is turned inn and there is hidden damage, wear-and-tear, changed parts, etc. Sounds impossible to administer.

I agree it won't be easy to administer. What kind of inspection is performed on a car at the end of the lease period? 1 hour inspection or much more than that? I was thinking a similar inspection will happen every 6 months during the transition from lessee to lessee to settle any wear & tear, damage, other issues. But then if maintenance is needed or something needs to be fixed/replaced during transfer that's another issue to deal with...

It's not as easy as I make it sound and maybe that's why it'll be cost prohibitive. If it was an extra $100 per month i.e. $600 per 6 month period to manage each car/lessee it would be cool. But I'm sure it's much worse
