Ah but that is why I lease cars.
So I don't have to worry about their value in 2-3 years, and I can drive them hard without needing to care about the longevity of the car or any extra maintenance. I don't develop emotional attachments to cars, so I simply lease them, drive them hard, return them. You really wouldn't want to buy a car that I had during my lease; I only do the oil changes that the manufacturer recommends and none in-between, even though a car that's been driven (and tracked) as hard as mine should have them more often.

That is very true
But MB was better than BMW when it came to the luxury sedan leases. Hence why I got an e350 bluetech for my comfy DD versus a 528i. More torque and better MPG; less hp though.
I'm thinking I'll just wait for the LCI Z4, or go with the F3X. Porsche is just unreasonable; I rather get an E93 M3 than a Boxster any day..
