Re: | BMW Auto Leasing LLC Registration Statement on Form SF-3 Filed July 8, 2015 File No. 333-205553 |
Dear Ms. Florio and Ms. Hsu:
On July 8, 2015 (the “Filing Date”), our client, BMW Auto Leasing LLC (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form SF-3 (the “Initial Registration Statement”), including a form of prospectus for use in offering a series of asset-backed notes (the “Initial Prospectus”) and certain exhibits (the “Initial Exhibits” and, together with the Initial Prospectus, the “Initial Documents”). On August 4, 2015, we received a letter containing your comments (the “Comments”) to the Initial Documents. In response to the Initial Comments, the Initial Registration Statement was amended by filing on October 8, 2015 a Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “First Amended Registration Statement”), including an amended form of prospectus (the “First Amended Prospectus” and, together with the First Amendment Registration Statement, the “First Amendment Documents”). On October 26, 2015, we received your oral comments (the “Oral Comments”) on the First Amendment Documents. As of the date hereof and in response to the Oral Comments, the Company is filing with the Commission its Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement, including an amended form of prospectus (the “Second Amended Prospectus”). Submitted below, on behalf of the Company, are the Company’s responses (the “Responses”) to each of the Oral Comments.
For your convenience, the Responses have been placed in the order in which the Comments were presented, within the headings set forth in the Comments, and our summary of each Comment is presented in bold italics before the associated Response. References to page numbers of the prospectus in the Comments, headings and Responses are all to the Second Amended Prospectus. Capitalized terms that are used in this letter, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Second Amended Prospectus.
