Respectfully, you're in a tight spot.

option 1:
Your big down payment helped bring down your payments, as you are pre-paying for the depreciation of the car with respect to the full lease term. Your lease terms state it will be valued at 35K post lease. Now, if you are able to return it to the dealer, the residual on this car should be well above 35K....probably 50K on this car. Could you get some down money back? The math works, but the lease agreement is another matter. Whatever you signed goes! You potentially have an option to exit the lease with a willing BMW dealer (subject to lease terms) and perhaps jump into a Z4M sitting on the lot. That last part is the difficult part--the dealers don't get many of these cars. In any event, read your lease terms and talk to a dealer to see what they could do (even if hypothetical inventory was in place).

option 2: swapalease is your friend.
