A couple of post mention negotiating the buyout amount, yet BMWFS states the end of lease buyout is not negotable. If anyone has successfully done this, would you mind sharing how you went about it?

I really like my X5, but not enough to buy it for way over current market value.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Ask a dealer. They will get a better buyout than BMWFS will give you.

Is there a dealer you have a decent relationship with, or that you trust? (Joke,eh?)

Contact a board sponsor, any dealer can do it- see what they can do and also get a CPO on it.
