I anticipated the potential need to finance because of unfavorable lease terms, but I thought it would at least be a tough decision when the time came. It is not. With these terms, BMW is pretty much daring you to lease, knowing full-well that you'll be taking it up the keister if you do.
We know the car isn't "entry level", but to price the lease on-par with the 550i, a car that starts at $59k? Balls of steel.
If there was any doubt that the 1er is a niche car, and that niche is itty bitty, I'd say it's been quashed.
In conclusion, given today's release of the lease terms and the lack of a BMWCCA rebate, I respectfully submit that we proclaim today, February 27, 2008 as Up The Keister Day on 1addicts.
