I bought my 1! May have made a slight boo boo..

I picked up my 135 on Sunday and LOVING every second. What a car. I also noticed some feartures I didn't even know about when driving it around. The "Year 1 of the 1" was one of those amazing nice touches.

I did lease the car, not the BMW, but through another bank and I leased with 12,000. I have since regretted not going with 15,000, even though I prob. won't exceed that mileage. I talked to a friend and he said that I can "pre buy" the mileage by going through the bank or something similar to that effect.

Has anyone done this before or know more information? Thanks!

Anyone know?

Well it depends on the bank, I would think. I know if you lease through BMW you can change your plan midstream if it looks like you are going to be blowing the mileage budget. Your bank may or may not allow for something like that, though.

There can be variations between leasing companies, so you should just contact them to find out. Also, you should be aware of what happens if you want to turn your lease in early. Porsche & VW (Audi, too?) are set where if you want to pay your last payments and turn the car in early, it will go against your credit as a reposession, though they may be slow to admit the reposession report. I had a customer once who paid his last year of payments early w/ low miles, and he tried turning it in to at least save the insurance. Needless to say, he kept the car. His case of pre-paying and turning in was because he HATED his car, but for others it is if you hit the allowed miles before the term has ended.

Thanks for the help. I went with another bank since the payment was literally $200 more through BMW. I'll call the bank.
