You will certainly end up paying the most for the car doing it this way. There is no such thing as a good lease on a 2 series right now. Don't forget when you want to buyout a car you have to factor in the rest of the sales tax that wasn't covered in your lease. And when your lease ends the car market will almost certainly be well on its way down, I would not plan on making any money on this car doing it that way or any way for that matter. Unfortunately the 2 series is not a car that does well with depreciation.

Totally agree with this. Putting $15K down on a lease, particularly right now, is not a good idea.
