My Ride: 525i, titanium gray, black leather with anthracite maple wood, sport package, red rear reflectors, chromed std 545 oem wheels
I am looking to get out of a 525 lease with 20 months left on the lease. I have heard about "swapalease" and "leasetrader.com" as possible places to find someone to take over a lease. Has anyone had experience are know of someone who has had good or bad experience with such an effort. I love this car, but am changing jobs and want to get out of the lease, until the next opportunity comes along. I could also go back to the dealer, but am not sure why they would be willing to discount the lease buyout. This board is a wealth of knowledge, any suggestions.

BMW charges $500 for the transfer of a lease. As for them allowing you to get out of your lease without you buying the car or finding someone to assume it, good luck. BMWFS wouldn't even let me out of my lease one month early to get into my 550. IMHO, BMW does absolutely nothing to show that they appreciate my business and could care less if I stay with them or not.

It's the same with all leases, remember the three E's:
Early termination
Excess Mileage
Excess wear and tear
Any of these and you will get stung.
