i don't give a damn about magazines, they like to generalize things and i give no respect. bottom line is lease is there for a reason and if you do it right, lease will make sense.
to me, i will never own an m3 after warranty, so lease is a great option for me. i don't have to go through the hassle of selling the car afterward. moreover, at least here in cali (you want to check your state), if i lease a car, i only pay sales tax per payment. what that means is i only pay sales tax on the portion of the car i "own" over the course of the lease.
for example my e93, msrp is 78k. residual is like 45k. so over the 3 yrs, i pay sales tax (sort of) on 33k. i am saving a good 4k right there.
