I'm quite sure I am a fair bit upside down, as it is a lease. Buyout is $33K, and I assume trade in is in the high twenties. When the 335 comes in and I get to play, I'll find out if there's any hunger at Faulkner BMW. For $3K, I'll probably jump ship. For $5K or more? Probably not.

That's OK. I can wait. The Acura is a damned fine ride, after all. I leased it instead of a 335 or G35 because I liked it better, and I'm not disapointed. As you know, it's got a rigid body, very capable chassis, stupendous engine (I'd be just as thrilled with a 135 if the 35 part stood for the 3.5 liter TL-S powerplant), excellent brakes, absolutely killer stereo, best production navi, etc., etc.

It's just that the 1 series has me all revved up about tossability, while the Acura is about the same size as a 5 series.
