My commute is about to get much shorter and eliminates the need for a car.
This is an unbelievable car that balances performance, daily drive ability, family friendly and the trunk allows you to haul stuff you otherwise wouldn't be able to. By far the best car I've owned (and my wife also loves it, so that should say a lot to you husbands out there!).
Original term was 36 months, and it started 5/22/2015. So there will be 30 months left on November 22.
Allowed 10k miles per year (so avg of 833 miles per month allowed)
Car only has <4k miles on currently, so I'm way under.
Total payment is $648.90/month, which includes taxes (since that's the total payment I'm making).
I put max MSDs down ($4550) so need to get that out. I'm pretty sure everyone knows this, but you get this deposit back at lease end
Residual is 64%, and $43,600 buy out price at lease end. The high residual is good for a lease because it means less depreciation so your payments are lower.
This car is essentially fully loaded (everything except LED lights), and I had to custom order it and it got shipped from Germany. They simply didn't have one on the lot with everything I wanted.

M-Performance Power Kit (MPPK)
M-Performance Exhaus (MPE) -- Best exhaust for daily driver, absolutely no drone at all even on highway
Custom sunshield for windshield in summer -- fits like a glove
Carbon Fiber rear license plate frame
10k miles per year, and maximum Multiple Security Deposits were applied so I need to also get that out.
I had option of getting an M3 when I was buying this but it was too rough of a ride for a daily driver with a family. And the trunk on the GC makes this an ideal family car.
