Given my payments over the last decade on fully loaded premium, sports, cold weather, stereo upgrades, etc. the lease rates on the 135i seem ridiculous.
1996 M3 E36 $341.80
1998 328i E46 $443.98
2002 330i E46 $488.75
2006 330i E90 $519.60
These were all 36mth and 15k miles/yr., $5k drive off, and include tax.
I've leased because it has been a practical way to obtain - use - and dispose of a car. The last few years it has made the accounting right off for my business simple and straight forward as well. If I can't get a fair lease deal I'll have to talk with my accountant about right offs on a finance option. George
