Wow, sorry BMW is adding insult to your loss.
Just FYI, your attorney should already be aware of this but by asking for more than is allowed on the lease contract, BMW has possibly opened themselves up to liability under your state's consumer protection laws. For example, in Florida, I believe it's a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to ask for more than what is actually owed. A violation doesn't mean you don't have to pay the debt but you could possibly recoup some money from them thereby lowering the debt. This is just an example.
Wish you luck resolving this. If I ever decide to lease a car when I'm older I will certainly now take a good look at Mercedes, very interesting philosophy difference. In fact your case could probably be included in a business text book: How to lose a customer for life in 3 easy steps.
