Exactly... since I do not have the original front end, I would have to purchase and then re-install and.... $$$
Not worth it.
Another option is to buy a bumper ( Non M-tech ) from a forum member that also installed the M aero package to install at the end of your lease. Usually there are always some for sale in the classified section ( I sold my painted front bumper to a Friend from NY for $150 ) Hope this helps.

You could always trade somebody with the same color for their front bumper plus cash for the Mtech. If we had the same color of car, I would give you my oem bumper plus cash for the MTech. Thus, it could still work out in the end to be a plus for you.
That doesn't always work. Even though parts installed on different cars are the same color there can be slight differences based on how much time the car sits outside (sun fading, etc).

What if you paid the dealer whom you leased the car from to do the Mtech bumper install?

"Unfortunately, the vehicle does have to be returned to its
original state. If your vehicle is returned with the M Aerodynamic
kit installed, excess wear and tear charges will be charged on the
maturity bill to remove the kit and restore the vehicle to its
original state. We hope this information is helpful."
That sounds like a generic answer they would give anyone... It doesnt even sound like she really read your question.

And, speaking of reading questions, how many girls have you met that are named Brian?

I don't see why they would mind, I'd ask someone else. Anyway, they probably won't even notice when the time comes. You can buy my front bumper, have the bshop spray it now and keep it in your garage.
