Auto lease question. Early out?

Leased a 2011 Mini Cooper S for 3 years. Have had it for one year and it only has 6k miles on it (10k/yr limit). It's a fun little car but I'm finding the road-noise and lack of useful space difficult to live with when using it for business. Blue-tooth use during business calls is very frustrating...have to yell all the time to be heard. As a sales manager, I'm always on the phone.

I suppose BMW would work something out, I'm just not sure I want a BMW. 3 series, to me, looks cheap and way overpriced. 5 is better, but not fond of their looks and cost. So, here's my question...

What are my options for parting with the car and the lease? Can I offer it for sale outright and somehow pay off the lease? Can I "trade" it in on another car? New or used? Appreciate your thoughts.
