End of Lease - Advice?

Hey everyone,

I am nearly coming to the end of my Full Circle lease for my 2012 135i.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experience or any pointers they could offer.

I'm wondering what they will be looking for when I do the trade up/in. Is there anything I need to look out for or be wary of?

They took advantage of me when I bought the car, in terms of adding on crap that I didn't need ie "Rim and tyre insurance" and I wouldn't be surprised if they try to scam me on the way out too.

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Kurtis

Not 100% sure but BMW mentioned to me that if you trade in the car for another full circle you get 6k through the same dealer or 3 through another.

Yeah, I'm aware that I can trade in for extra money, but honestly after being hoodwinked last time this dealer can get f**ked.

They stung me about $6k in bullcrap I didn't need to begin with, so I am looking to just get rid of the car and move on.

Being a 2012, you may be able to re-lease the car minus all of the items you don't like.

Thats if youre still happy with the car. If not, sell, pay the residual and move onto an M2.

I can definitely re-lease or finance the residual, but then I would lose any benefits of the full circle - being the guaranteed resale.

I'd rather trade up to a 3 series or X3-5 but it's hard to justify the cost. And not really being able to offset that much tax makes it even harder.
