I have no issue with people leasing, we are free to make the choice, but this narrative that it is cheaper than repairing a used german car is not true.

My wife's 430i Gran Coupe lease is only $305 a month. That is with a $50k MSRP and only first month DAS. What was the payment on the X3 lease you are using in your example? The key to making a lease work is to get a great deal. It sounds obvious, but leases are not as straightforward as a purchase and as a result, a lot of people overpay.
