The only way diminished value is even an issue is if the OP planned to buy the vehicle at lease end because if a residual that was lower than market value and he had originally intended to buy it out and flip it. In most cases BMW sets the residual higher than the car will be worth at lease end to keep the payments low and help move cars, so many people just turn their cars in. With a very low lease rate, this is but another reason to lease.
If that is true ... then that's great for a lessee, and then the point is moot. I don't know what I'm talking about as I clearly indicated ... however was educated speculation.
