Some incentives do not apply to ED pricing, so YMMV may vary. the "other" BMW forum has a very comprehensive ED forum so I would suggest taking a look!
To the OP: I've heard that over 3-4 years, you should buy. No point in leasing to buy as that is the least cost effective method.

Thanks.
On topic: Good rule of thumb is buy if you want to keep it at least 4 years (ideally 5 or more). Less than that, you're probably better off leasing.
Off topic: What about the cost of delivery to the states? Who covers that or is included in the ED? If it is covered and you give that large of a discount, it seems like a no brainer, just too good to be true.
