This is what i just found. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems like at the end of the term - you can turn car back in but will be responsible for the 7500 added to the final cost. Even if you turn back in, you got to pay the 7500?

FINANCING PRODUCTS
At BMW Financial Services, we believe vehicles this revolutionary deserve equally innovative leasing and financing opportunities. Just as BMW i is more than just a form of transportation, BMW Financial Services is more than just a means to owning a vehicle. We are dedicated to making your BMW i ownership experience as easy and rewarding as possible.
OWNERSCHOICE1
Enjoy all the benefits of vehicle ownership with flexibility similar to a lease. At the end of your OwnersChoice term, you have the option to sell your BMW i back to us for the predetermined price and walkaway, choose to keep your BMW i by paying off your remaining balloon balance in full or may be eligible to refinance through BMW Financial Services.2
OWNERSCHOICE WITH FLEX
OwnersChoice with Flex is designed to further lower the monthly payments for your BMW i.3
Here's how OwnersChoice with Flex works: We will increase your final balloon payment due at the end of your OwnersChoice BMW i contract term by up to $7,500.4 The increased final balloon payment reduces the amount of your regular monthly payments, and at the end of your contract term, you will owe the increased balloon payment amount.
As with our regular OwnersChoice product, at the end of your contract term, you have the option to sell your BMW i back to us for the predetermined price and walkaway.5 If you choose to sell your BMW i back to us, you will also owe the Flex amount (which is the amount by which we increased the balloon).6
Alternatively, as with our regular OwnersChoice product, you may choose to keep your BMW i by paying the final balloon payment amount in full at the end of your contract term — or, you may be eligible to refinance the final balloon payment amount through BMW Financial Services.7
At your option, you may choose to make prepayments during your contract term that will reduce the balloon payment amount. The sooner you choose to prepay and reduce the balloon payment amount, the lesser finance charges you will owe.
TRADITIONAL FINANCE
We offer you a choice of flexible terms, attractive rates and customized financing to fit your personal needs. With the benefit of ownership, you can pay off your balance in full without financial penalties, or extend the term at any time.7
LEASE
BMW Financial Services works to meet your personal needs with customizable lease terms and mileage options. Leasing does not require the same cash commitment as a traditional financing product and you only pay for the usage part of the vehicle. At the end of your lease you have the flexibility to turn in your BMW i for another, release for an additional term, buy at the set agreement amount or turn it in and walkaway.
Every finance and lease option comes with BMW Financial Services' award-winning customer service. This includes flexible payment options and an array of protection products created specifically for
BMW i drivers.
