How to Prepare Your Car for a BMW Lease Return Inspection

A BMW lease return inspection will be scheduled approximately 120 days before your BMW lease maturity date. The BMW lease return inspection is free of charge and takes 15 to 25 minutes to complete. Here are some things you can do to prepare the car for lease return inspection:

• Remove all personal items from the vehicle.
• Has the car been cleaned and detailed?
• Make sure the vehicle is up-to-date with all scheduled BMW maintenance.
• Some wear and tear issues that you are responsible for repairing include dents, dings, scratches, and scrapes on the exterior, the bumpers, and the wheels; cracks, stars or excessive pitting in the windshield and other windows; abnormal or excessive wear on the tires; tears or stains on the upholstery that can’t be repaired or cleaned with normal refurbishing. Review the BMW Lease Return Inspection Guidelines to learn more.

Returning a Leased Car Step by Step

Returning your leased vehicle is as simple as dropping it off at our dealership. Keep in mind that you can still return your lease to BMW of Warwick even if you leased your vehicle from another dealership in the Cranston area. Here is how the lease return process goes:

1. You’ll drop off your vehicle at our dealership.
2. One of our specialists will inspect the vehicle for damage, overall quality, and other important factors.
3. Any extra miles on the odometer that exceed the restrictions or any wear and tear are subject to penalty fees.

Returning a Leased Car Early

Can you return a leased car early? You’ll need to check with your specific leasing company, but most companies allow for an early return on a lease. If you do return your lease early, then you’ll be responsible for paying off the owed amount, including any penalty fees and other fees. When you return your lease early, you won’t be responsible for monthly lease payments, and you’ll still have the option of upgrading to a newer lease model if you choose.

Let our finance team know if there are any other questions that they can answer for you, and drop off your lease at our dealership in Warwick.
