You don't normally purchase a car at lease end when you're upside down unless you REALLY love the car and want to keep it.

Why would you buy something that costs more that what it's worth?

This is one of the benefits of leasing, you can just walk away at the end of the lease and get a brand new car.

I agree with the previous post, just get into a new one and turn in the old car.

BMWFS will waive the lease termination fee if you finance a new BMW with them. Then you can negotiate with the SA when you get the new BMW to cover the excess mileage, depending on how much miles you went over.
