Testing the waters here… So I previously posted my car on here a while back, but didn’t go through with it. In all honesty I just loved driving it so much I did not want to let it go and changed my mind. Fast forward to today, I am trying to buy a house now and would like to get out of this lease. As you can probably tell I am over my mileage so this would be for anyone looking to buy it out at the end. With a couple grand down at the residual price you will probably be looking at the same payment. (DM me for residual).

Why not just post the residual? If you want out of the car, I’d recommend minimizing the number of hoops people have to jump through. Particularly when the lease aspect of this car is dead and has no value to most.
This is an incredibly annoying thing that people do and I do not know why, unless you are basically trying to get anyone whose even remotely interested in your PM box, which is not going to help you.
Just post the residual. There is zero reason not to.
Yikes. A CPO M340i today is ~$44-45k. I can only guess that number may drop a couple thousand at the time of OP’s lease ending. A CPO would possibly be $41-42K at OP’s lease end, which would be the time the assumer might purchase this vehicle. Payments made would be ~$6,130 to $6,700 depending on time of transfer, plus $500 transfer fee. If @WeakestLink is correct on residual of $33,808, the assumer would be in the car $40,508. That doesn’t include the tires OP mentions it may be needing @ ~ $1500. So it is my belief the assumer would be in the car $42k without the car being a CPO, and without factoring in shipping costs or costs associated with picking up the vehicle.
Without an incentive, I don’t see the compelling case for someone wanting to assume this lease unless it was a rare car with some rare option, which doesn’t appear to be the case.
I would suggest a $2k incentive plus OP covering the transfer fee would be in the realm of potentially an enticing deal.
