If you're 7k to 8k underwater, I don't think you'll be able to roll all of it into the lease. I think you can go something like 110% of MSRP, so assuming you get very little or no discount in the sales price, you'd be able to roll 3k to 4k into the lease.
IMO, the money factor in 1-series leases so far has not been stellar, so rolling negative equity into the lease does not make sense. To pay off 7k in 36 months takes ~$200/month, plus interest charge. So tack that on to the best deal you can make. Without a large cap cost reduction, there is no way you can get close to 500/month.
