I am not familiar with the process, but i didnt think a dealer had to be involved in a lease buyout.
I thought you arranged it with the finance company and get lease buyout loan if you dont have the ability to write a check. |

The inspection fee is totally bogus. But it doesn’t matter, because you should be dealing directly with BMWFS. Since you are in WA there should be no dealer involvement. There should be instructions and a purchase option on your account page on the BMWFS website. Read this https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...86&postcount=5

So it depends on your state. In Florida as example, you are required to go to a dealer to do inspections before buyout thats why there is inspection fees. Some states does not require inspections so you can go to BmWFS right away. I was in the same shoes but i went with leasing another vehicle instead since bmw will hit you with like 6% interest rate for loyalty.

The extra fees are high. I bought my 2020 m340i out this past week, buyout was 35k, only had to pay taxes plus $395 for registration. No extra fees. Shop around at a different dealer
