If you plan on buying or leasing another BMW to replace your current one, you can negotiate with your dealer that they accept the return of your car as is. If your car is in decent condition with low mileage , many times your dealer will land up buying out the position with BMW Finance. Their cost to do minor repairs is a lot les than if you pay to have it done.
They then flip you car and make even more money all over again.

I have returned many cars with significant damage, I once returned a Q45 with a huge dent in the door and told the dealer to keep my security deposit, four months later in comes a check from Nissan with my deposit back.

Lease returns are far less rigorous than some posters on here seem to believe, and as Rudy and eegrad point our everything you need to know is available on Owner's Circle. BMW has a pretty reasonable policy. Friend of mine returned a C230 the other day and MB were also very easy to deal with - zero cost to return, and no issues on the wear and tear. If you've modified the car you can however (and quite reasonably) expect a tougher time.

BMW has always been very reasonable on minor flaws with the lease return.
