You can basically get the car for the residual price, some finance charges but not much. I leased a 2004 M3 and almost bought at the end but I ran the hell out of it so I passed on it. The dealer has the option to buy the car from BMW finance at the end of the lease for a discount from the residual. Dealers don't have to take the lease cars but usually do because they make money on them. If they don't take them they go to auction.
