I've been guilty of modding leases too, and feeling a bit foolish but a lot of people see the concept of "ownership" as purely theoretical; buy or lease, you have a car, you make monthly payments...and wouldn't that exhaust sound good...?

The RS, well, there's not been as well reviewed a car all year except for the M2 and RSes are going for silly amounts of money over MSRP. Again, I think it's about impulse control; can I really resist something this shiny when I want it this much?

I'm glad I bought my 228i; unlike the M235i, if you want it to behave like a real performance car, you probably have to tune it and mod the suspension and I would have felt a little silly to have done all that to a lease.
