they can blame the weather but they produce so many vehicles now that they do not retain their value and they have to charge silly prices on things like leases. for the people that upgrade cars every two years it's just not worth it. it's too bad they're so watered down now. sad times.
a quick list of cars you can try for the same or less than a leased m3:
range rover
porsche
jaguar
maserati
*mercedes
*audi
alfa romeo
lotus
i thought about brand loyalty since i've owned four BMWs but it seems BMW is not loyal to it's consumer so why would the consumer be loyal to them?
*very debatable alternatives.
i will be sobbing quietly in the corner if anyone needs me. haha
