Yep, here it is in writing and I also called BMW FS and spoke with someone who told me the same thing. If anyone has found a way around this in PA, please, do tell.
I just bought out a Land Rover lease in august directly, Iāll look at anything thats changed since then, thats so weird
Unless something has changed in a lot of states then BMWFS is just flat out lying by saying youāre required to buy it out through a dealer due to āstate guidelinesā.
In Florida, with BMW you do have to go through a dealer. I just dealt with this with an X3 M40i. My local dealer was going to charge me an $899 dealer fee and $175 āinspection feeā - that fee was reportedly refundable. I called a different dealer in the northern part of Florida and they did it by docusign with no fee. I would recommend calling around to different dealers and ask if they will do it without a fee.

In PA? My Hyundai Documentation specifically mentions FL And PA as forced dealer buyouts as well.
Could you PM me a censored version of that, Iām trying to hunt down the new regs that state that - and Iāll take a look at the documentation I get with my dadās new lease as well.
I believe this is state law driven, so BMW is irrelevant in this case.
