Otherwise, try another BMW dealer. Any should be able to help you with the buyout and you can avoid those BS fees.
This. You never have to go to the dealership. Just pay off the lease with the lessor. If you need a loan, then the bank/credit union works the payoff with the lessor. You have to get new tags and register it in your name. Depending on your state's regs, you may not have to pay tax on it, just registration and tag fees. When you leased it, you already paid the state the tax on the car through the lease.
