FWIW - I am urging BMW FS to file a diminution of value claim against the liable party's carrier and to apply any award as a reduction in the lease buyout.
I believe this is a scenario where it would best to walk away from the car and one of the advantages of a lease. Unless you really REALLY love this particular one.
