Why not a BMW M240?

Base M240 RWD is advertised at $479, you can do better... just negotiate down to the invoice...

I see that a 330i base price lease is $339 with $3K down. Remember that is the national advertised price, not your local dealer price. BMW has a $2K incentive. The Invoice is 7% below MSRP. I think if you could find a Base 330i M-Sport Manual, the MSRP is around $45,500. The residual is 61% or $27,750.

MSRP $45,500
Invoice $42,300
Incentive $2,000
Your Cost $40,300
Minus residual $27,750

Your Balance should be $12,500 + interest, tax and acquisition fee. It seems that should be close to your $320 price range but you would have to find the car and the dealer that would be willing to do that. I see some 2017's are still out there, do not know if they would lease them at a discount, could be worth a try. Good luck.

FWIW: sedans are not selling, everyone is incentivizing them, you can be stubborn.

You might consider a VW Jetta GLI. I have one as my daily driver. Slightly smaller than the 340 and less "fit and finish" but basically all the same features, including 6MT. Also the fender audio system is better than HK. Pretty zippy with the turbo, it's fun to drive and my lease is under $300 a month for $0 down and all taxes/fees included in the lease. I purchased when VW Credit was offering a .00001 MF which is basically 0% interest I'm not sure if that's still available for all regions.

Side note - according to my info VW Credit currently has no supported lease program for the 2018 Golf R. Also MF for the GTI is not favorable, 3-4% interest.

Nice, I was there was a "we're" in my story. My girlfriend had a Jeep altitude which she doesn't wanna give up.

And I have this 335 sweet angel, I just really need a cheaper payment rn. $1000 a month is ridiculous atm

I'm in the same boat, my lease is up towards the end of May. I like cars and will miss my 2015 328 MSport ($500/mo) but I work from home now and drive maybe once a week to the store. It feels wrong to get into a car I don't really care for and drive an appliance. It's hard to justify the cost of admission.

Wow 1k a month can get you some serious car on a lease. Seems like you're getting ripped off. I would go 230i x drive

I'm betting this is for the Jeep and the BMW, in the original post he mentions the 335 being 500/mo.

Well if you negotiate price and get a loyalty credit and find any other credits to leverage you can get a low selling price then ask them to lease once you get price where you want it. My bet is that you could get a pretty affordable lease and the best driving xdrive model south of the M5.
It just depends how many options you want

I even been looking at jeeps haha. Probably shouldn't be mentioning this on bmw threads.

Anyways need your help friends. Need opinions stories and experience

Thanks
if you aren’t too power hungry and are looking for a cheaper and less expensive insured lease, the Mazda 6 could be good for 3 years. They’ve been benchmarking the e46, and have recieved many positive reviews for their driving dynamica as well as there very high end interiors. Its no BMW, but its cheap, fast enough, and a very pleasant car to drive and one loaded could still be cheap, plus there is a new refreshed model with a bigger 2.0T and even optional Nappa leather seats that could be a good replacement.

$500 per month plus insurance is a lot to pay for transportation. You need to prioritize things. I think you should should consider getting a new M3 and give up food.

I'm on that boat too... Living in NYC don't need a car at all and I work from home... But as they say... You only live once... Hence the 335i.... I only put not even 200 miles on it since early December... But they've been hard miles and lots of smiles...
