Aftermarket parts on a lease

I know in most cases it is pretty stupid to do this but I love the black grill/fenders and badge from IND. My question is would I need to remove these changes when returning the car to BMW? I believe they are OEM parts.

its easy... just keep original parts and swap them back when you turn the car in.

+1. I did this when I got my car back from ED and am on a lease. Kept my old parts for lease return.

If the parts don't void the CPO rules/qualification and the person taking over the lease (or dealer taking the car back) is/are interested in keeping them on the car that's possible too. I had the dealer cut me checks on previous cars for wheels BMW performance exhaust etc as they have been able to sell the car with the accessories installed . Other itmes such as suspension/springs/tunes/air intakes etc have to be taken in order to allow the dealer to CPO the car .
But in general taking them off is a good idea and just install the new parts (plus they're not used so no worries about wear and tear )

Thanks. Just wanted to see if I could avoid the trouble of taking it off. Especially the badges on the back.
