You never know how technology will improve cars in the future or make them worse. This is as close as I can get to my 2004 E46 M3 I can get yet its $48.4K and my 2004 E46 M3 had a $57K sticker. So $9K less after 10 years is a value. One advantage of a new body style is it will look like the latest version for 7 years because that's the BMW life cycle. I'm leasing because if I really like it I can buy it and get it certified after 3 years and get another 3 years warranty for less than $1,000 so its low risk. If it's now what you thought turn it in because it's going to depreciate the same the first 3 years whether you buy it or lease it. You lease and you don't have to put money down, it's like a trial marriage.

I like the lease to buy option. I can't seem to find the figure for how much you owe after 3 years if you want to keep it.
