Heres an interesting note…
I just had my lease end inspection an hour ago.
This was done by Autovin, a third party, on behalf of BMW.
He asked for both keys and if the manual was in the car, which I said it was.
But after the inspection he said he couldnt find the manual, so I guess its still in my filing cabinet.
But also said BMW wont charge for it, so dont worry. However, he said if I had the inspection done at the BMW dealer then they would have charged $100.
Also worth noting, the car has the M Sport package, and there is some curb rash at the bottom of the front end.
That didnt matter at all.
(I know its not a Mercedes lease end, but still interesting nonetheless)
