Fees look way inflated. Ask for a more detailed breakdown. My dealer gave me a full "Dealer Disclosure" sheet that had everything itemized for the lease. Dense page of text with two columns completely full of information.

Look for hidden costs like:
  • Acquisition Fee Profit (dealer markup on lease acquisition)
  • Option Price - some automatically include theft prevention device for $239
  • Backloaded Fees for Doc/Reg/Inspection/Title - should be able to pay these up front, but can include in the monthly at your discretion, costs you slightly more over time.
  • Amount of Doc Fee (varies by region, but yours seems high)
Depending on your negotiation skills, you should be able to wiggle on some or all of these points. Alternatively, ask them to wiggle on the MSRP discount since they're gouging you for the hidden costs above. Lots of other useful information contained in lease threads on this site and Bimmerfest.
