Need to move to Canada due to work reasons and BMW is not allowing me to take the car with me. The car is fully loaded and great to drive. Love the car, but had to swap it out
In most lease contracts you must notify the leaser of any address changes and not take the car out of the country for X period of time or something to that manner.
Did you check what carvana/vroom/carmax/shift would pay? If you got a big discount and incentives (doesn’t sound like it with that payment, though), it might work.
Depending how deep you’re going into Canada, but if it’s a place like Vancouver or Toronto are you sure you can’t just drop by the US every 29 days or so
Pro tip- check the cost of leasing one of these in Canada. You will definitely consider what the above mentioned once you do
With respect to BMW’s contract he can certainly legally take the car to canada for as long as he wants. It would be a breach but it is not unlawful - this is often misunderstood by folks like you. The technical problem he has is that he would not be able to register it in Canada without bmw’s knowing about this and refusing same. He cannot leave it registered in the US because if there is a claim it the carrier would disclaim coverage unless he puts them on notice that it will be garaged at a canada address and they agree, which is doubtful. There are also canadian laws to consider that likely require registration in canada.
