Negotiate Early BMW Lease Return with New BMW Lease

My situation is I have a 2023 BMW 330i with 14 months left on lease and 27k miles and I want to get rid of it early. I got it in January 2023 and payment is high at $667pm (including 10.25% tax) versus the current market today.

Offers from Autonation and Driveway are $30.5k, buyout is $36.2k currently.

How to best approach a dealer to get a better offer for leased BMW? I am looking to lease an i5 or 540i.

Any way to try to solicit a higher offer from a BMW dealer? Or basically they have no reason to do this because of limited third party buyouts?

Rough spot to be in.

They might overallow on the trade if they’re ripping your head off on the front end.

No way around it. Money can only come from one place and eventually it runs out no matter how much they want your business.

Swaplease is the only way IMO. Not sure where is the BMW market now.
It will hard without incentives…

Ya probably just need to suck it up and drive it another 14 months and pay mileage overage. Hard to see what is out there for basically same payment. Also, I hate that mileage overage of $0.25 is the same for a 3 series and a 7 series. Would rather pay the mileage overage on a nicer car obviously

7 series is 30 cents per mile.

7 series is $.30? Damn, my x5 is just .25, I figured they were all the same

Ya, in an ideal world I want to eat about ~$5k with the trade in and get just a standard deal with a broker on leasehackr on an i5 or 540. Possible? Or unrealistic?

BTW, are the i5 still on stop sale?

They’re starting to be fixed.
