Dealer has nothing to do with it, not their problem.
They only get involved bc within 120 days they can buy the car from BMW for a negotiated price if they thing they can move it - not the pre determined residual. They can then sell to original lease holder or put on lot as either used or CPO. Entirely at their discretion.
You turn your car in and no one buys it - BMW eats whatever the difference is between residual and what they get at auction.
