Anyone planning to lease another 3-series?

laperacfo · 09-13-2007, 04:09 PM

Anyone leased a 330 or 325 and planning to get another BMW when their lease is up? Another E90/91/92?

TYW · 09-13-2007, 04:10 PM

Yep... most likely a 335i coupe (from a 325i).

laperacfo · 09-13-2007, 04:14 PM

For the people that are interested in the E92, will you be test driving the G37 just for comparison reasons?

TYW · 09-13-2007, 04:19 PM

Already did... Drove a 6mt. The G37 is fast, great interior, much less $ then a 335i. However, the back seat is very tight (height wise) and the trunk is almost useless. That said, it is still on my "list".

Also, there seems to be quite a few at the Infiniti dealers here in N.J. and I'm sure they are ready to deal. Go test drive it (with an open mind...) you will like it.

Yup, lease is up in March on my E90 330i. Expect to get another one, 335.

Might go step vs. 6MT on this one...love the MT, but Bay Area traffic takes some of the fun out.

Leaning towards it. In fact, I may buy out my 325i wait a year and lease or finance a 335i, X3 or X5 depending on what things look like at the time.

My fiance never drives. Maybe by herself twice a month otherwise we drive together every where we go. So that is why we are thinking of keeping the 325i. It's a great car and will be a nice car to have as a secondary vehicle.

voltron1011 · 09-13-2007, 05:24 PM

I'm considering getting a 135i in a couple of years.. I financed (not leased) my 325i and I am currently not upside down in it, so I could get rid of it any time. I wanna drive it for a few more years, though.. It's been a good car so far, so I don't see any rush to get rid of it.

Not me, I will give Porsche a chance

sesegal99 · 09-13-2007, 06:01 PM

Infiniti service is 1000% better...trust me. That said I'm done with coups for a while so it have to be the Infiniti G sedan which I like .. but I like the 3 series better! I may turn my 06 330i lease into a buy after a couple more years, if there is a deal I may upgrade to a 335 but we'll see when the time comes. PS......The Infiniti G37s look like Altima coupes...yuck.

jons35 · 09-13-2007, 06:11 PM

same Porsche is my next car

Revlis · 09-13-2007, 06:21 PM

I dunno, If I decide to get another Coupe, I'll just Buy, otherwise I will probably lease again.

toolfan · 09-13-2007, 07:48 PM

sesegal99, what do you mean by service? Your local dealership service department or they wait on you hand and foot and do your dry cleaning?

I already got out of my 330i sedan that I had for 9 months and got into a 335i sedan. worth every single penny and more!
Next fall I will be getting out of 335i lease early and getting into a 335d when they come to the states. If I cant wait, I am getting a 335xi coupe and giving it the procede treatment!

dmboone25 · 09-13-2007, 07:53 PM

I might get a 1 instead. We'll see once it gets stateside and I can see it in person.

TECENG · 09-13-2007, 08:23 PM

This is my 3rd, I lease the car through my business. I actually think I may buy the car at the end of this lease, I am still very pleased with my E90 after 2+ years. That has never happened with the 2 previous cars. I am a coupe man, but this time I am amazed that I have grown to love the extra 2 doors.

Toolfan, Does BMW give you a break on turning in leases early? I have a 3 year on my 328xi and I know I'll want a 335i a year from now!

Too bad. My dealer enthusiast insider told me that the 3 series isn't getting a diesel engine at all. Only the 5er and X3/5 so far for the USA.

mmm def · 09-13-2007, 09:50 PM

I'll either buy my lease out or lease an E90 M3 (If wifey says yes).

flush01 · 09-13-2007, 11:31 PM

if my financial situation will be the same, i prey to god if I can lease another 335 (i cant leave without tt's) ... or maybe buy out my lease in few years... but if it'll be tight I'll have to lease 328 seden or something like that... if it'll be really REALLY tight then .... i dont wanna think about it
