If its something they won't notice, they won't notice... And if it is visual, you need to make it possible to remove. However, if for instance you had a 128i and wanted the M-Sport steering wheel, you could just put on and they would never notice afterwards. (Of course that's removable, but I'm just saying they won't notice everything.

of course you can mod a leased car just have take the stuff off before returning it to the dealer or just sell it for the buy out cost. A friend used to mod the sh** out of his leased cars (usually a BMW) then sell them for the buy out and sometimes more. Just be prepared to put all original parts back on or sell it for possible loss.

Heinz is right...The single most effective mod you can do is swap the SSTT for a JB3. There is no other single mod that will make you quite as happy as this...

That's actually a grand idea, I bet they wouldn't give you problems with the warranty on a leased car if you installed a JB3!

Simply remove the Jb3 for service and sell it when you turn the car back in. My vote goes for Jb3 or a used Procede v3. Both plug n play.
