IT is just part of the variables prior to the number that matters.. In this case. MSRP - Residual = Lease Amount. And the only thing that matters is the lease amount. So the cost is not the MSRP..
So if your shopping leases, I hear BMW has some very good deals to keep that falling rock of a tool from being a big financial burden. If you dont' go to the road circuit frequently, you can use the BMW to the same level as an Evo on public roads. Which is a safe and controlled one..

You have no way of computing that considering the car has not even cleared customs. I just checked mine and none have cleared yet. Also no bank in the world will touch Mitsu's money factor on a mitsu. You can't even use a 6000 rebate and loyalty combined using say chase or us bank rates on an 03 Diamante whoring at invoice and touch the old mitsu 03 diamante lease with no rebate. There is no doubt the Bimmer will lease better. But there is also no 330i that is half a second behind an Evo. You can't compare a 14 second car to a low 13 second car. As far as safety prove your bimmer is safer. You can't. Crash tests are the most useless piece of data available and are very misleading. They crash the cars one time, that's it. Who's to say it would perform aswell a second time or as poor. The fact is all cars today are safe and are mandated by federal guidelines. You could die in a bimmer just as easily as you could live through an Evo oe vice versa. Pick your car based on what you like. If you want to go fast get an Evo. If you want an average at best all around car get the bimmer. Let's face it if you can afford either car, you are producing fine in life and 20 or 50 dollars a month isn't going to make a bit of difference. Time is by far your most important asset.
The evo gets pretty good lease for the 04 year... It can be had for about 400-430 a month depending on how Good you are at negiotiating [/B][/QUOTE]

It is about 0.5 seconds slower to 60 than the Evo, but it's safer, more solid, quieter (some people like that), and doesn't have that silly wing on the back.
The BMW is refined performance, the Evo is raw performance. It's just a matter of preference. But I am certainly sure that you are not capable of judging whether I'll be disappointed if I don't get an Evo. Isn't that rather presumptuous?

hehehe I passed one of those 330i things trying to outrun me after holding me up on a two lane highway pass. He was a dog until like 70-80, but I still walked passed him. Of course I have quite a bit more power 
(330ish) On the twisties my car seems to do just fine. Not as good as a miata I have driven, but what do you expect. I can squeel the tires in this car without pooping my pants too... gotta love that.
