Leasing the 235i.
I leased to own the previous 335i and got tired of the maintenance so I sold it. I will only lease cars from now on. If I want to own it, I will buy a Lexus. Depending on how reliable the 235i is though, I might end up buying it out. |

Own my current 2009 328i xDrive - bought new. Will lease next one. Dealing with maintenance sucks.

I keep my cars six plus years. It is cheaper to own for me.

Own with titles from day one, but would probably never buy another BMW. I would lease.
BMW seems to have embraced a nearly all lease mentality. The lease residuals seem well above the real world residual value of their vehicles. |

Sure is.....
Sometimes you hear, "If you own a business, leasing makes total sense." Well, if you own a successful business, owning makes total sense, you still depreciate the expense. It comes down to cash flow. You need a truck to make deliveries, but your business is in the red. So you lease a truck. But when your personal finances are in the red, you could buy a less expensive car.... |

I always lease with the intent on keeping them through the entire lease period, but I always end up selling or trading. I have dealer connects. Some cars were only kept a short time. The '13 X5 I sold after 5 months and the '14 X5 I just sold yesterday (..it was a month old). The '09 M3 I sold after about 5 months and the '04 G35 was stolen. The '14 335i is for sale now. Hopefully it'll sell within the next week or two.
