I don’t see how you got hosed with a 475 monthly on a 3 series that now has potentially 8-10k equity….
You can get to $300 with a Nissan leaf. Find a dealership group that has both Nissans and BMWs and trade in the BMW for a leaf.
Way too much misinformation in your post - you can’t trade a leased BMW in to a Nissan dealership. No way this car has 8-10k equity even with 6k mileage- further, and yeah, he could have gotten hosed. Unless it was a sign and drive deal, sounds like he likely overpaid - remember- he has a 2019, deals were way better 3 years ago.
You can if they can process the lease buyout through an affiliated bmw dealer

You got me bro. Nice little loophole there. Thanks for catching
I second the Leaf idea.
Dispose of your 330 in the most profitable way possible. Get a Nissan Leaf, preferably with the larger battery pack, for NMAC’s 18-month lease term, and see if you like the electric car experience without paying out the rear end.

Same boat but I have the ix and pay less than you; going to have to buy mine since it’s waaay cheaper than any other options on the market
Wasn’t the iX just released recently?
Not that recent I have a 19
You must be referring to the 330i Xdrive, not an actual BMW iX which is a brand new EV.
That’s correct I’m referencing the OP
Sell it to AutoNation. I was in a very similar situation recently. I sold my 2019 330 with 14,500 miles to AutoNation Valencia two months ago and walked away with a check for $5,500. Pretty easy transaction other than spending a few hours at the dealer.

Bro, you the one who must reconsider misinformation. OP is reporting payoff of 28k and kbb of 38 to 41k. And I said trade in to Nissan dealership affiliated with BMW. 
Hehehe. Poster must be a BMW advanced engineering employee who gets models 3 years before release date.

Equityhackr came back at $33,000
Autonation at $36,500
KBB Instant Cash at $37,000
Edmunds at $33,000 in Outstanding condition
Carmax at $35,0000 (though they can’t technically buyout the lease)
I’m going to reach out to some of the dealers in the marketplace next and take it into some local dealers. Also these are all pre-inspection, so might not be final offer.
They called AWD models ix’s before the nomenclature changed to xDrive in ~2009. Old school BMW lingo there.

In the USA it was called xi not ix. Eg bmw 330xi. 530xi.
That’s like money in the bank. Congrats for having that much equity on a 2019 330. Honestly don’t know how that happened. I have 0 equity in my 2021 m340

Ah yes, I was stuck in the 80s. Thinking of that old 325ix.
