BMW Lease Mileage Allowance & Overage Fees
BMW Financial Services' lease-end pages state no brand-wide excess-mileage rate; your lease agreement sets it.
Quick answer
How much is the BMW lease overage fee? BMW Financial Services does not publish a standard per-mile rate; its lease-end pages name none, so look for the excess-mileage charge in your lease agreement.

How to find the rate in your BMW lease
BMW Financial Services does not publish a standard rate; its lease-end pages name none, so look for the excess-mileage charge in your lease agreement. Every US lease must carry an “Excessive Wear and Use” notice, and Regulation M (12 CFR 213.4(h)) requires that notice to “specify the amount or method for determining any charge for excess mileage.” Find that box in your BMW lease paperwork: the per-mile figure printed there is your rate.
How to stay ahead of BMW overage fees
- Find your mileage allowance and per-mile rate in your BMW lease agreement, in the excess-mileage disclosure described above.
- Divide your total allowance by the number of months in your lease to get your monthly mileage budget.
- Log your odometer regularly and compare it to that budget so you spot a problem while small changes still matter.
- If you are trending over, check BMW Financial Services's option for buying miles (before return, discounted) against its turn-in rate.
- If you will exceed the limit anyway, compare paying the overage at turn-in against buying the car, which removes the excess-mileage charge where your lease has a purchase option.
