This is from my lease paperwork: "You may use some of all of my Security Deposit to pay any amount I owe under this Lease at the end of my Lease Term or upon early termination of the lease. After I have paid my obligations under this Lease, you will refund to me any part of my Security Deposit that is not used to pay what I owe you."

So you don't forfeit the money and how can I or anyone else be "screwed...?"
I'm not convinced that using MSDs to lower your lease costs is the way to go or not. I think I'd rather keep the money and invest it myself, rather than give BMW yet more multiple security deposits (essentially a laon over course of the lease) so they can invest it. I'd be interested in how u came-up w an 8% return in more detail perhapsm but I think I'd still rather invest the money.
