If you have the cash, and if you take everything into account, and if you are going to hold the car for more than 3 years, buying it beats the rest unless you have some kind of investment scheme which gives you more than 10% annual return on your cash.

I'm going to be keeping this car for 10+ years. I'll be buying it for sure. I have a large downpayment already saved up, however I don't think I'll have enough to pay cash outright.

I'm buying mine, but that's a really ignorant comment.

I'm planning on leasing one, when my current lease expires.
Leasing is significantly cheaper than buying if you know what your doing, as depending on your tax rate it works out around 30% cheaper than buying. If you don't even consider it, you are an idiot!

Would lease through my business if I could, but I can't so I will be shelling out the cash personally.
Re "losers", a real loser is someone who pays more tax than they need to IMO... And if you really can afford to be totally reckless with cash, what are you doing even looking at a measly BMW? |

Just a few disadvantages of leasing: - base price for leasing is MSRP; cash is 7% off - it IS more expensive: after the 3 or 4 years of the lease you will have payed about 90% of the base price, but the car still doesn't belong to you - you must have the highest possible insurance at all times - you have to decide in advance how long you wanna keep it - and about the taxes that were mentioned several times: no (at least in Switzerland) you cannot deduct that from your income tax!! |

That might be how it is in Australia, but there is no way you can get 30% discount (or any discount for that matter) on an M3 in the US via leasing unless you are doing it through your business.
