We're not really sure what to do as we've always just turned in the old car at the end of the lease and usually got a new one by ordering a few months ahead of time. I just checked and the residual payoff is $45,825 in December. I assume the car is worth more than that in this market. What do you suggest we do?

BTW, the car is garage kept and hardly driven. It has the competition package, white exterior, black interior plus we added a rear spoiler, carbon fiber rear diffuser, front lip spoiler, carbon fiber front splitter kit and performance steering wheel.

Thanks for your help.
Sell it outright or take it to carmax and cash out your equity

As of October of '21, third party dealerships cannot buyout a BMW lease from BMWFS. He would have to buy the car himself, pay taxes, and then sell it to CarMax.

Not just an extra set… extra cost as well.

Third party dealerships, like CarMax, used to be able to buy out your lease directly from BMWFS and they didn't have to pay taxes.

As it stands now, the individual would have to buy out the lease themself, pay all the applicable taxes and then sell to CarMax.

Most of the time the taxes eat up a good chunk of the equity.

Well that’s some bs now isn’t it. I flipped an x5 diesel for a $6k profit once. Guess I wasn’t the only one to do so ..

Have other manufacturers done the same ?

MSRP for an M4 build is actually really good in today's market!

If you like the car, I would advise extending out your current lease especially if the payment is low.

If you want to sell the car, there are ways to do with without having to buy it, pay tax, and then resell it. Typically, you can sell it to a dealer who has a bmw dealership within their group/network of dealerships. Wholesalers are also able to pay off BMWFS contracts if they have a good relationship with a BMW dealer.

I can't remember TX sales tax laws, but if you are able to get sales tax credit even on lease trade-ins, it may be best to try to get the equity out of the BMW dealer you are buying the new M4 from.

Hope that helps a little. Feel free to PM me if things come up in your process!

Other mfg’s have indeed done the same and actually BMW followed suit as they were late to that party. I also sold my X7 during its lease period and netted a nice upside right before they changed the rules.
