That extra 3 months over the normal 36 month lease would have the owner paying for another 12 months for registration costs and no way to get a refund after the 3 extra months are up at leases end. Registration costs are about $1K on a vehicle that costs over 100K here.
I would hope BMW doesn't offer a 39 month lease in California?
The savings per month from 36mo to 39mo and lower mf would probably cover the extra year of registration. With the lower residuals it’s possible to get out of the lease before 3 years. Have your SA run both and see if it works for your situation. Always good to have choices.
