So my question is with all things being equal (ie same lease/finance rates as a 3er) at what price above the 335i coupe would the 135i coupe no longer be attractive.
I don't understand why people lease.

You say if you finance a 135i you are effectively paying a price that is higher than a 335i coupe.

I priced a 135i coupe, manual, sport pkg. comfort access, leatherette, and its MSRP with dest is $37,175

A 335i coupe, manual, sport pkg. comfort access, leatherette, the MSRP with dest is $43,175. Exactly $6,000 more.

The advantage of the 335i is the power seats and Logic7 is standard.

The main reason I will get a 135i. $6,000 less.
