They lease well compared to their MSRP. Mine had a $60k MSRP and $8k discount off MSRP since it's a leftover 2014. With $0 down and all fees and taxes rolled in, it's $600/month.

My 85K BMW disagrees with you.

It has been very good from 35K to 85K.

Don't ask before 35K.

Electrical water pump is an issue ... potentially see-able in advance if you monitor the BMW codes through the OBD port. It often throws off low-speed warning codes months in advance.

BMW leases rate in USA are generally great in the USA. You pay for a 335i what we pay for a 320i in Canada.

Agreed, the residuals (62% after 3 years) are considerably higher compared to other car companies which means lease rates are much lower than you'd expect. I plan to get a BMW down the road and I'll only lease one (unless I can find a clean E90 M3).

OP, how do you like the F30 vs the E90? I've driven both (not owned) and it felt like the F30 was more refined but the E90 was more fun to drive. I guess it'd be up to personal preference.

Not bad at all. I'd consider leasing a BMW but I'd never buy one again. Love the brand but if I'm buying one I'll be keeping it for a very long time and I can't do that with a modern BMW.

yup.

You know they are ripping u off and you know there are other cheaper alternatives, yet somehow you feel good about being ripped off...

Doesn't make sense, yet it does.

Not a real fair comparison. I was merely going off the starting base price. A base accord costs what? 22k? 10 years ago it cost, 20k?

The black edition gtr is like what? 130?

To be fair, you will be beating cars 3 to almost 4 times that cost.

You would take a P85D over a GTR?

687 ft lbs of torque at 0 rpm is VERY VERY tempting

and 1/4 mile in 11.6 sec @ 115.2 ain't too shabby for a 4 door

Ah.. so you are more like a car guy, not much of a driver, huh?

That's fair though!

Who cares? That's just the excuse people give when they lose to one. A car is a tool, and in this regard a GTR is a better one.

Would you rather have microsurgery with a DaVinci machine or by hand?
