The depreciation on my 330D E91 over the last 5 years has worked out at £300 per month. On top of that Ive had the cost of servicing, repairs and insurance to consider.

How much would it cost to lease a 330D now over say 3 years or longer ?

A couple of my colleagues have gone done the leasing route with their Audis. Just wonder what people think of leasing in comparison to outright purchase.

Not sure on bmw's but i looked at the new golf R on lease and they obviously had a deal on at the time as it worked out £225 a month which i thought was very good, i didnt actually think at the time about working out depreciation on my car.

Probably works out about the same, and your driving a brand new car, problem is you dont actually own a car, when you give it back you have nothing. That was my major problem with it

How many miles a year do you cover as its a big thing with leasing? For a decent monthly price i doubt you would get more than 8k miles a year.

The other thing is that the lease company expect the car to be returned to them in pristine condition once the lease term is finished.

On a plus point i believe that they cover all servicing and tax, doubt it will need an MOT. Not sure about if the car breaks down who foots the bill.

Servicing is only covered on a lease if you pay more for a service pack. The car will be brand new so any break downd will be covered by warranty.
For a 330d on a 3+35 personal lease you'd pay around £500 for 10k miles a year
