Well it was nothing negative, just it would be hard to imagine to put 30k miles a year on an "expensive" car, if it is not for commercial purposes.

I mean, it is OK if you dont care. But if i knew i was going to drive 30k miles a year, 100k miles in 3 years... a $60k BMW is probably not even going to be on my shopping list.

Definitely the best advice. When the G20 comes out you can haggle for the price.

My partner picked up the car tonight. $500 @ drive off, $500 a month 12k/year 36 months

Only fault is headlight has condensation I'll be bringing the car back to the dealer tomorrow night for them to see what's going wrong.

When you lease a bmw, your goal should be 1% of MSRP for your monthly payment

My thinking is opposite. If I need to spend a lot of time driving, I'd rather be in a car that I enjoy.

Agreed; rather buy used then buy new. Only thing I'm buying brand new is an M5 because I'm keeping that bad boy for life.
