If you really want a BMW, lease it. I owned three BMW. I kept one from 90s (7 series) because we love it, and I still drive 2006 3 series). I always buy my cars new and keep them for 10+ years. I would never buy the BMW that they build this days. I thought if I ever want to drive a new BMW again, I am going to lease it.

Keep in mind that BMWs don't hold value and start to disintegrate around the 70K mark. The cost of repairs and maintenance makes it a bad buy once you are out of warranty.

Lease a BMW, buy Lexus.


I will second this. We are on our second and last BMW SUV. It's 6 years old with only about 50,000 miles on it and we've spent $4000 in repairs already this year, including a faulty sunroof that was shorting some of the electrical systems. If you get a BMW definitely lease and get rid of it by the 3 year mark.

Do both! Let someone else lease is for 3 yrs, then buy it.....for half the price of new. Of course, its wouldn't be a 2019 model, but rather a 2016/2017 model but.....

I always pay cash and drive cars into the ground but mine are cheap and my understanding of luxury cars is that it’s better to lease, particularly if you don’t want to still be driving it in 10 years.

As someone who owned a BMW, I will never buy another BMW. I would consider leasing one, though. Look on swapalease and find someone looking to get out of their lease.

Neither. Lot of reliability issues with the newer models

BMW subsidizes leases. It's generally a bad idea to buy them. Go to leasehacker and find a deal. BMWs lease for way less than you think

Not enough info provided to give a good answer.
How long do you want to keep it?
Does your job allow for you to write it off as an expense?
There’s no blanket right or wrong answer to this without more context.

Looking at 2019s - would it make more sense to lease a BMW?
