The Lease-End Damage Question Thread

We get a lot of questions about what’s chargeable at lease end and what isn’t.

As I find them, I’ll add links to lease-end guides from various leasing companies so you know what to expect at inspection time.

When I returned a bmw last time, two of the rims had curb rashes over an inch, bunch of rock chips, and the tires were below acceptable on a few attempts, plus one of my pirelli run flats had busted and the only used one to match the size online was made for Mercedes (otherwise the same) and said so.

BMW is great.

I narrowed the scope of this thread for simplicity.
