If the residuals are the same as the 235i, a fully loaded m2 will lease the same as a 70k m3.
But leasing is still an option. It would be 1000 a month with 6k due at signing for a fully loaded M2. Where as leasing is 850 a month with 0 due at signing. So leasing it over 36 months would be 30k where as buying would be 42,000. You might have some equity but this for sure won't hold its value like the 1M. You would need to have positive equity of $12,000 to be on par with a lease over 36 month.
So if the end goal is to keep it for longer than 36 months, then yea buy. But if you won't keep it any longer than that, just lease it. Either way it will be an expensive car.
