Hello Hackrs,

A sudden change of events (moving to the east coast) has made me need to get rid of both of our cars. I am looking to lease transfer a 2018 BMW 330e and a 2018 BMW X1.
THE CARS ARE LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES. Below is more info.

what’s that “$1000 to me” ?

I paid $2,500 upfront on both cars and I’m looking to recoup some of that back.

4

Is X1 transferable with the recall ?

BMW North America assured me the lease is transferrable with an active recall since there is no solution to the recall at this time.

The person you spoke to was misinformed. You cannot transfer a BMW lease with an active recall. I tried.

It will fail when they try to initiate it.

Are you sure MSDs are $2500? Shouldn’t they be $2450?

Yes, I think 28firefighter may be correct. In the past when I tried to do a lease transfer and there was even a simple DME reprogram campaign active they would not start the transfer.

Perhaps in this case they will make an exception due to the nature of the recall campaign?

So not moving anytime soon? Otherwise, I’d take the 330e once you’re in North East :grin:

I will call and speak with them again to confirm. I will update the post for the X1 once I receive more information.

This is not something we encourage or recommend. It leaves all of the risk on the original lessee, not to mention it is strictly against the terms of the lease of the contract.

In short, don’t do it.

Plus, it sounds like a craigslist’s response from an out of country car buyer.

Yup, not willing to take on that risk.

UPDATE: BMW X1 is not transferable due to the recall. Situation should hopefully be resolved by end of July.

5+ months and no word from BMW on this stop-sale. :man_facepalming:t2: Surprised how many people aren’t aware of it or the impact.

Willing to bet the house on the over on this one.

BMW 330e is currently being transferred and is not available.

BMW X1 will be sold to Vroom since the lease cannot be transferred due to the recall.

Mods please close post.

Thank you!
