What mileage are we talking about here? Assuming 10K, typically what BMW advertises. Not enough for me.
Anyone know if you can negotiate lease with mileage allocation greater than 15K? I need 20K minimum. Likely not cost effective, and for that I always purchase, but considering a the first MY again. Would rather lease a buggy car than have the frustration of owning it. |

New model right away. Dealers maybe budge a little but not much.

Who said the pricing is competitive? I don't think anyone ever promised you that.. Don't get all upset just cause you assumed..... BMW NA would prefer you in a 3 series rather than a 2 (or 1 series) so that they can cotinue to hold the compact european sedan sales crown... by the way... this isnt anything NEW... PS.. have you noticed the cheapest car in the BMW lineup is an SAV? the X1 ? ($30,900) vs the 228 ($32,100) vs 3 series ( $32,750). of course a 328 runs 37,750....

A loaded M235i approaches modestly optioned CLA45 AMG territory.

It's going to come down to, do you want to spend $50k on a potentially better driving car, or do you want to spend $50k for the AMG badge? |

The quote you referred to was attributed to the standard CLA (a CLA250). The CLA45 isn't a CLA250 with an AMG badge (I don't think you were trying to assert otherwise). As you know, it gets a vastly different treatment with respect to driving dynamics. It also benefits from better (i.e., premium) materials (e.g., two-tone Recaro perforated leather seats, Nappa leather/alcantara steering wheel, MB-Tex-covered dash with contrast stitching) and additional technological features. Eventually, I think the M235i will end up being a great value. I just was surprised when after building a few of them the estimated payments weren't far off of what I was paying for a nearly fully loaded F30 M Sport 335i. Of course the same could be said about the CLA45. If you tick every box the payments swell to silly amounts.

It is true. A lease and a buy don't work the same way when it comes to payout of the coverage.

People usually think high mileage leases don't make sense. I think the opposite is true... BMW charges so little for the extra miles vs what you'd lose in resale if you bought it. If you 20k or 25k miles per year leasing can definitely be a good option. Most people (incorrectly) dismiss the lease in that case because they think it'll be much more expensive but it actually isn't.
