Having to put a new set of RFTs on the car hurts, but the only difference relative to the 36 month term gets you a little less use out of them.
Unless things have changed in the last 6 months there's no required cap reduction.

We all know with a lease you don't get your CAP reduction back at the end, so it should tbe considered part of the cost you will never recoup. On these leases, the required $$ up front is $3500 CAP reduction, $550 Sec Dep, $725 Aqusiton fee. About $4500, give or take, depending on the exact model/options. I guess BMW might let you role the CAP reduction into the mo. payment, but either way it's coming out of your pocket for good. It doesn't really matter if you're going to pay CAP Reduction of $3500 + $600/mo .....or $0 CAP Reduction and $720/mo. Either way, the money is gone.
None of this takes away from the fact this is a great lease plan.
