We're with Leaseplan, and I'm still in discussion about opening up the list to other manufacturers. I guess my issue is I'm coming to it from a 520d Luxury with options, so the 3-series feels cramped and cheap. If the non PHEV taxes hadn't been hiked so much, I'd just have swallowed the extra £100 and ordered a Lexus ES300h as that comes with all the stuff I'm used to (electric seats, electric lumbar, premium audio etc) as standard.
Take your point on lease prices - looking at the Leaseplan consumer site, the Mini Countryman in fully loaded spec., is cheaper than a 330e, the Skoda is marginally more expensive as an SE-L, but comfortably under £40k - and the A250e is similarly priced.
