Probably, at least 80%. But that's just in the US and Canada. The number wouldn't be as high in Europe, and many countries don't even have a lease option. Some may not have any BMW FS services.

To answer your question though, leases count as a sale because as far as BMW AG (or BMW NA) is concerned, it sold the car. The buyer though just happens to be BMW FS instead of the end user.
