With the current soft used luxury car market, I would consider re leasing my car when the initial lease is up. But how does that work? The purchase price for any new lease should be fair market value when the new lease is started (or maybe the inflated CPO price?). But what about the money factor? I'm assuming it would be the highest available, which for BMW I believe is .00385 (X5 diesel).
I'd like to enter into a new 12 month or 18 month lease so that the new 5 might be available when I finally surrender my car.
I'm so curious to know if such a lease would result in a higher payment (than my current 36 month 15k/yr. on my 550i sport). I can't imagine it would, but you never know.
Thanks for any help with this.

There where a lot of money - but not today anymore.
It's now hidden.

I would expect that BMW would NOT want to "re-lease" a car, because then when it came back off of lease, it would be 4-5 years old, have many miles and very little value!
I could see them wanting to sell you your leased car, but not another lease!

DRP, I have had direct experience with a co-worker here who was able to get her BMWFS lease extended with no change in terms. The extension was for less than a year, but it shows it is possible and that it does not necessarily result in a change in payment.

I think this scenario is only possible if you have a car on order.

Try searching this forum.
Others have been able to use an indipendent leasing agent to significantly reduce their lease payment. My understanding is that the dealer gets the car at significantly lower cost than residual, then sells it to the new lease company. Residuals for an extra year are not too much below the purchase price. Most of the new lease cost are due to the carry cost (interest) on the car.
Good luck.
