Buying or Leasing your e90?

RedStripe · 05-30-2005, 01:53 AM

Please list a brief description of your e90, where you are in the world, and any special delivery or purchase arrangements (Euro Delivery, Military purchase, etc). Thanks.

Leasing really isn't a viable option in South Africa. It is possible through BMWFS but I don't think many poeple do it.
Seeing as the cars are built in Pretoria and I live in Johannesburg, I'm fetching my car from my local dealer. Hopefully she'll throw in some kind of free gift, like a BMW bag or pens.

leasing is great. it's my companies car (im the ceo). So im getting a new car of my choice every 3 years.

I am also leasing. I only drive 700-1000 miles per month so makes sense. It is also my company car so I can drive what I like.

I'm financing, hopefully through BMW's new-college-grad program.

iam buyng i see no point in leasing for me, since i want to mod the car. i see leasing as renting a car for a long time!!

Same reason I'm buying. My last car was leased and the fact that I leased it held me back from making certain mods.

Can't afford to buy yet with my current credit history. Hopefully in 3 years I will be buying a E90

Purchasing: Artic/Black Leather/Aluminum/Manual/Power Rear Sunshade/Sport Package. According to OC Tracking, it's scheduled to be completed June 8, 2005. Dealer told me to expect it mid to end July. I'm located in Walnut Creek, CA.

With the high MF, I am leaning towards financing it at this time. But, I have a few months to decide.

I bought mine through the military car sales in Germany, so there is no option for leasing. However with the money I saved (no taxes, US dealer price) my financed payment is about the same as a lease payment would have been. :rocks:
