Is it possible to buy a car from someone who is currently leasing through BMW FS?

Hey team,

So I'm looking at buying another car (M4 this time). The car I found is a leased car, but the seller didn't disclose this at the time. No biggie, but here is my question: Since the seller is leasing through BMW, how can I purchase? Is this even possible?

I'm financing through my local credit union. Is there any way my bank can pay off BMW direct? The seller called BMW today and is under the impression that my bank would have to him a check, and he would pay off the loan. Then BMW would send the title to the seller, and the seller would have to send it to me.

I don't see any bank willing to risk all that. So is it even possible to buy someone's leased car? Anyone done it before?

Thanks
