Based on my math I would have to spend about $50k to breakeven on a lease over 10 year period (assuming I continue leasing bmw at a similar cost to this). Seems like ownership is a good bet, no?
There have been many discussions about lease vs. buy around these forums.

Depends on a plethora of variables. Long term ownership provides the most utility to you then yes 'buying' makes sense. If having a new car every X years is important to you, then leasing is "better"...

Could you post your details in the format from the first post? So we have all of the information at hand to base feedback on. Thanks!
