Wear and Use Guidelines
These guidelines are designed to help you avoid any surprises then you turn in your vehicle at lease end. Together with the BMW Lease-End Inspection Form and the BMW Inspection Wheel, these guidelines will help you assess your vehicle's condition prior to lease end. These guidelines form the criteria that will be used during your scheduled inspection, and the BMW Lease-End Inspection Form that will be used during the inspection is based on these guidlines.
