Lease end advise
Lease end coming up in a few months, going to order another Mini. Wanted to know what everyone's experience has been in this kind of situation with wear and tear fees and what not when returning your car. I've looked over the check list online but would still like to hear from personal experience. Also, can I get different "quotes" on fees if any from different dealers? Thanks!

I've returned two Minis and just had my 135 looked at by BMW. They're pretty lenient, more than you would expect them to be. My Minis had no charges and they weren't perfect. My 135 has a serious case of bumper rash and a large dent, not ding, on the rear side panel. My body shop estimated $2,000 for both. BMW is charging me $400 per panel so $800 in total. I didn't look into different "quotes" but I'd be surprised if they would go for that.
