Absolutely.
Buying out a lease is the only reason I lease BMW's. I typically buyout the lease after two years. The last one I purchased, I offered $10k below buyout and we settled for $7,500 below buyout. Work with your dealer's sales manager to make offers.

As an example: MSRP: $80,000 Discount: $8000 Your lease is based on a price of $72,000 they give you another $8,000 off the price In the end, the car cost you $64,000???? |

I know that at least in California you can NOT negotiate the buy out of the lease. Been in the biz my whole life. 1st time I've ever heard of being able to negotiate a lease. Also what does the dealer have anything to do with the lease after they sold the car? Car gets purchased from the dealer by the bank. BMW or the bank that your lease is through is the one who would have to do the negotiating.

In Canada, at the end of a lease the car goes to the dealer at its option to buy it at the buyout, if not it goes to the dealer auction where the highest bidder gets it. If you have access to those auctions, perhaps you could buy it for under the buyout amount.

You have to be close to lease end for a BMW to be worth the buyout, and some never approach that point. BMW residuals are usually fairly high (thus good lease prices). It makes sense to me that BMWFS would negotiate if they know the car coming in isn't worth the buyout. Why wouldn't they want to unload it to the person already driving it rather than incur any additional expenses to take it in, inspect it, store it, transport it, etc… All comes down to your original deal and the resale market. I've never negotiated a buyout, I'm just saying it would make good business sense in such a case where the car simply is not worth the buyout price, and I have heard of others saying they have successfully negotiated.
On the flip side of that, we traded in an X3 about 8 months early when we got our X5. We got enough on a trade-in to pay off the buyout (bearing in mind the dealer doesn't pay tax on the buyout when taking it in trade, so it's lower than the buyout you're quoted from BMWFS by the sales tax amount). So, it stands to reason that car would have been worth the buyout, maybe more, had we held it for the remaining 8 months of the lease. In that situation, I don't expect BMWFS would negotiate much, if at all. The 335 I just sent back early using the pull ahead program when I got my 550 on the other hand, seemed like it would never be worth the buyout. 6 months early and it was worth a good 5k less than the buyout at that point in time (the adjusted buyout if I were to buy it out 6 months early, not the lease-end buyout..). 6 more months of paying down the principal might have gotten it there, but I don't think it would have bridged the gap entirely as it also continued to depreciate. |

This is actually interesting because I've been thinking about this myself.
Still got ~2 years left. Went from 61-62k down to 52k and residual value of 32k after 3 years. Can I knock that 32k lower? |

You absolutely can negotiate the buyout price and include CPO warranty if you want. BMW seems to have tightened up the process through as I think too many people were taking advantage of the opportunity to negotiate on the lease then negotiate on the buyout.
On my 550, the dealer still wants a few thousand more than the market value but this is roughly $5k below the lease buyout. |

I always thought BMW kept the buyouts unrealistically high to discourage customers from buying the cars. They want to get leased cars back into the CPO program to make a second round of profit on the transaction price, warranty, and financing.

Turns out, BMW has way too many 3, 5, and 7's coming back from lease on any given day. Never be afraid to make an offer at any time during the course of a lease. The worse they can say is, "no."

Same here my lease is up in June 2016 for $37K buyout.. if i can grab my car for 30-32K i will take it in a heartbeat. I spoke with the dealer and they told me about a early return program they may have if I want to lease another one starting in January 2016. Not sure which direction I will go yet. I have a 2013 535i. I figured they will be getting ready to clear the lot of the 2016's starting in January.
