Here you go: BMW sold 50,981 BEVs in 2024, a 12.3% increase from the previous year. When combined with plug-in hybrid models, BMW’s electrified lineup accounted for 70,379 vehicles, or 19% of total sales.

As the other poster stated, BEV are around 13%. Still a lot more than I believed and still a lot less than you claimed. You are including hybrids, which do not get the 7500 rebate and thus are not more likely to be leased.
I expect the numbers to go down now that the government subsidy is expiring. Anyway, the high percentage of leased BMWs is not significantly due to BEVs because BEVs make up only a small minority of BMW cars sold in the US. The small minority of about 13% is much more than the 3-4% that I believed, and I acknowledged that.
