we've got them in our cooper and love them. Not much feels better after you've been in the ocean and you're driving home still wet.

I also don't see sales tax in there. How and where does that calculated in?

Buy vs. Lease 328i by sdso

I see that most of the postings on this forum are on leasing a BMW 328i. Few post on buying. Does this mean that the 328i is a vehicle lease rather than buy ?
 
To take advantage of owning it for 3 yrs while the warranty is still in place ?
 
I've read leasingguide.com and I understand that leasing vs. buying a car is an individual decision, but, I wanted to get you guys' input.. Is the 328i a car one would rather lease than buy ?

BMW does a great job of propping up leases and the majority of 3s are leased. This benefits BMW as they get someone to pay for depreciation and then 2-3 years later, they have a well maintained, low-mileage car to resell at an inflated price as a CPO.

Thanks blueguy for your input!
 
From a buyer vs. lessor point of view.. Any experience with long term reliability of the 328i beyond warranty period ?
 
Do buyers typically get an extended warranty ?
 
My current car is a toyota camry which I bought new & have driven for the past 10 years. I'm now ready for an upgrade and a more fun car to drive!
 
I like the idea of being able to turn the car in after a lease and enjoying it while it's still new. Do the dealers try & get you on any damage beyond wear and tear ? Excess miles ?

Never had an issue with turn in but I try to keep my cars as clean as humanly possible. My wife hates that my cars don't even have anything in the trunk.
 
As for extended warranty - if you buy a CPO 3 series it'll have an extended warranty. From what I've heard late model e46 and e90 cars are pretty darn reliable. I was sorta unlucky with my 3 series cars but I still look back fondly on my 3 year lease of a 2003 330i ZHP.
 
There's little reason to believe a properly maintained 3 won't last you well over 6-7 years. A coworker has a 2001 325i that's still going strong.

Did you find a good deal on the 335i you are looking for ? I'm in OC too and starting my search. More interested in a 328i though.
 
Thanks,
