Lease End

It is hard to believe the lease on your BMW is almost over. We hope you have enjoyed driving your BMW and the relationship you have developed with BMW Cleveland. You have two options; purchase your BMW or return it and hopefully replace it with another BMW from BMW Cleveland.

In either case you will want to use our BMW Cleveland Lease End courtesy inspection. The process is simple and only requires a phone call to our Pre-Owned Manager, Steve Mihalic  at 440 914-8154. We will arrange to have your vehicle inspected, either at a place of your choosing or at the Dealership. We will thoroughly inspect your vehicle, correcting those items covered under your Limited Warranty, as well as informing you of any additional work required under BMW Financial Services guidelines.

If you elect to purchase your BMW, there are several options your client advisor can review with you, including; extending your Ultimate Service Program, Certified Pre-Owned coverage and financing.

Our goal is to make the end of your BMW Cleveland BMW Lease as easy as when you took delivery of your vehicle.

Your Responsibilities

Just as when you rent a car when traveling, BMW Financial Services expects to get the car back in good condition. In the Lease you agreed to:

Vehicle Maintenance, Service, Repairs, and Reconditioning
I agreed to maintain, service, repair, and recondition the Vehicle during the Lease Term with new and genuine manufacturer's original equipment replacement parts as recommended in the Vehicle owner's manual. I will keep complete maintenance records and return them with the Vehicle.

Vehicle Return
If I did not purchase the Vehicle, I agreed to return it to the place you specify with all parts and accessories and in good working order. Upon return I agreed to complete and sign an odometer disclosure statement and a vehicle inspection report, which may be used in determining any excess wear and use/or excess mileage. 

Excessive Wear and Use
I agreed to pay you the cost of all repairs to the Vehicle that are not the result of normal wear and use, whether or not you actually repair the Vehicle. Excessive wear and use includes, but is not limited to:

1. Inoperative electrical or mechanical parts;
2. Dented, scratched, chipped, rusted, pitted, broken or mismatched body parts, paint, vehicle identification items, trim or grill work;
3. Non-functioning, scratched, cracked, pitted or broken glass or lights;
4. Missing equipment, parts, accessories or atonements;
5. Torn, damaged, burned, or stained interior;
6. Repair of any damage that makes the Vehicle unlawful or unsafe to drive;
7. Damage due to installation or removal of non-manufacturer, aftermarket or replacement parts;
8. Damage (including damage to the engine) due to failure to maintain the Vehicle in accordance with Section 22; or
9. Tires with tread depth of less than 1/8 remaining at the shallowest point, and/or tires that are not all of the same grade, quantity or quality as those delivered with the vehicle.

Turn In

When you return the car to BMW Cleveland, we will have you sign an Odometer Statement, which is required by BMW Financial Services as well as the State of Ohio. When you Leased your BMW, you agreed to drive a certain number of miles. If you happen to drive the car more than expected, BMW Financial Services will charge you the amount you agreed to in the Lease.

A final inspection will be performed. Please make certain you bring both remote keys with you.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact your Client Advisor who will help you through this process.
