I actually leased a 2012 Buick Regal Turbo. It was/is a good car for what it is. I wanted something smaller and always wanted a BMW and the m235 was it. Crunching numbers and knowing id probably want to go to the m2 or maybe m3 down the road, I opted for the 228i M Sport, with lighting, manual seats, moonroof and leather seats. $200-$300 bucks in savings per month over the m235 over 3 years was reason enough for me to just save the difference and put it towards a car that I know I really really want, which is the m2. To some people 200 or 300 is not a lot, but its still quite a bit of money IMO. This time however, I am doing it properly with ED and all. It will be hard going to another brand after having driven and owned the first BMW.
