I have an e90 335xi, love it as my daily... have not driven a F30 yet. Are the 2013 leases coming back soon? I'd like to find a msport 328 for her to replace her car. Thoughts?

Well, any of the years can come back at anytime. Typically leases are 36-months. But it all varies. Some lease for only 12 months, some lease for 48-months. So you could even see a 2015 lease just returned or a 2012 just returned.

I've definitely seen some '13s on Autotrader around the Philly area.

I think I heard somewhere that the f30's steering isn't up to the e90's standard.

If you can find a 2014 model, it has the newer navigation system which might be something to consider.

Again?

No electronic steering system is up to the "standard" of hydraulic; not a BMW issue. Even with the change, the steering is still very good in Sport. This, from an owner of 3 FXX models, and many previous gen cars.

2014 would be nice but we're hoping to be in the 30 flat area with nav/hk/msport/sunroof

She doesn't care about steering or power output or we wouldn't be looking at 328s at all, she hates my tuned 335 lol

Ahh. Well then if you are looking for something in budget with features, maybe look at 2012's? They should be any different than the 2013's that I'm aware of, and you're likely to find it cheaper with all those features.

I was kidding... I've had a e90 335i and currently have an F30 335i and yes the steering feel was better in the e90 but for me the f30 steering is fine and I think it's funny how everyone gets completely insane about the f30 steering.
