2021 BMW 330. It is under lease and that is the idea but my understanding is that it continues even if or after the vehicle is purchased outright.

2021 BMW 330.
It is under lease and that is the idea but my understanding is that it continues even if or after the vehicle is purchased outright.
- taepper 6y agoHow did you come to that conclusion?
- bronco21016 6y agoThis is what I was told by the friend who drives it. He could be wrong. I didn’t research it on my own.
- hazmazlaz 6y agoI own a used BMW that was previously a leased vehicle and I can confirm from direct experience that I was able to ignore the scheduled service notification and continue happily driving for thousands of miles with no issues. The car did nag me with a notification every time I started it up until I eventually brought it in, but I was fine with that.
- BoorishBears 6y agoIt definitely won't by default, after the lease most Connected Drive features are disabled pending reactivation by the next owner I still feel like something is missing though. The truth is BMW stretches their service interval insanely long because they're giving "free" maintenance with leases So if you drive any significant amount of time longer after the interval, there's a real chance of damaging the engine But the liability issues of disabling a car remotely outside of asset recovery seem like something BMW would not want to mess with Maybe it was an initial service? Some engines require an initial service immediately after break-in or suffer catastrophic damage, I could maybe see an exception in that case Edit: I did find someone saying if you go 5k over the service limit, the car will not start immediately, flashing Service Required, but still allow starting normally from there No one should be going 5k over a 15k interval when maintenance is free
