I don't think this will work
I doubt it will work without heroic efforts.
As I understand it, the instrument cluster communicates with the engine computer, both of which have milage numbers stored on them. If the engine computer suddently sees the instrument cluster reporting a lower milage, it will trigger an error code, and illuminate a dot (on some BMWs) on the odo, indicating tampering has taken place.
LEASING SUCKS and your BF has found out why. They intentionally give you fewer miles per year than a person will need. The AVERAGE American drives 15,000 miles a year. Getting a 10K a year lease is asking for trouble. What are you going to do? Stop driving?
The end of lease screw-job has cleaned out more than one sucker.
Of course, if you lease another new car, they may make allowances for you. Sounds good, right? Naw. The extra costs are just folded into the new lease.
Buying a brand new car is the most expensive way to own a car.
LEASING a brand new car is the most expensive way to buy a brand new car. And yes, you are effectively buying the car (and then selling it back at a pre-arranged price).
With the glut of SUVs on the market, expect BMW dealers to be less than kind with allowances when you turn in your car.
Buy a late model secondhand car with low miles. That is the best bargain. Unfortunately, the car you are turning in is not that car. For some reason, Dealers would rather hose you with turn-in fees and then dump the car at auction than just sell the car to you at a resonable price.
FWIW. I've had no car payments for nearly a decade now.
