If it was lemoned I would expect that it was turned back in prior to the end of lease. It went out from one dealer (04942), got serviced for three years by another dealer (with one exception) and was then worked on by the original dealer at three years plus a day, getting a brake job under the maintenance plan. Sounds very much like it was simply turned back in to the original dealer.

A bunch of small issues, many of them electrical, but more than should occur with a new vehicle. Then a broken sunroof cassette. All very typical for the E70 in my opinion. I wouldn't worry about anything on here, primarly because there weren't repeat failures and the problems weren't major.

CPO is a good idea, but understand that it is not a guarantee of certified quality, but rather a warranty. It is also not as comprehensive as the original full vehicle warranty, but it is better than nothing.
