Don't see option to buy miles

I'm not seeing the option to buy more miles anywhere on the BMW Financial Services site once logged in.

I have bought miles for previous BMWs.

Is the online option to purchase no longer available or am I too close to end of my lease? (10 months).

Don't you just pay the extra when you hand the car back? Your contract would have the cost mile over you agreedmileage for the contract term.

The idea of buying miles ahead of time usually meant getting a discount on the cost of the miles compared to those after the lease ends. I would suggest a call to your local dealer's finance manager to see what he or she says. --Bob

When I signed my lease in Oct the finance guy told me if I need more to call Bmw Financal when I'm ready. BUT that's a scam I think, if your getting into another Bmw I'm pretty sure they will look away if your not badly over mileage & car is in great condish. Good luck.

There's a slight discount if you pre-pay though wow have the charges gone up!

BMW replied to my message on the site and can handle back and forth through messages. Not as efficient as the full self-service they had before!

I do plan on getting into another BMW at lease end but yes I'm badly over. I contracted 12k a year and am averaging $18k. So was going to buy just a small amount like 5k for my 2 year lease and negotiate the rest at lease end.

There is no negotiation on the mileage. The dealer may help you out if they buy the car from Bmw.
