Buying out and then selling the car at the end of the lease is typically not a good idea when it comes to BMW, with their inflated residual values.
There's an $11k difference in MSRP between your "almost fully loaded" F80 and my fully loaded G20, so I wouldn't exactly call that "almost the same amount". In regards to MSD's, as I mentioned before, even without MSD's my payment comes to ~$695/month which is a significant $155/month lower than yours.

Yes, there is about $10k MSRP difference between the vehicle I am talking about and your fully loaded M340. The features difference is minimal, however, as pointed out above, the difference comes in transmission, brakes, drivetrain, platform, weight...
Everything is different from M to a non-M vehicle. I thought it was not as significant until I owned one after multiple non-M cars.
Also, the residual on my car was 64% (as I recall) which made the monthly payment even closer without all amazing discounts that you received.
