In a traditional car market, which is NOT what we’re currently living in, BMWs lose a ton of value. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who financed a German car for 5/6 years and came out on top when they went to sell it (not counting Porsches, lol). I consider leases a dating period before marriage.

Yeah, I'm having second thoughts on buying this and dealing with it for years 4-8. I just hate the thought of leasing as it's like a long term rental. I'd like to add some carbon fiber etc. And do not want any surprises on lease turn in. Plus worrying about the mileage sucks.
What happens if I go over mileage even if I plan to buy it after the lease? Does it not matter?
May hold off on this and drive the new Nissan Z and go from there. I love Japanese cars from a diy maintenance and cost perspective
