I placed an order for a 2023 M340. It arrived, but now I'm hesitant to take it. I still have my 2019 330 with 1 more year left on the lease.

The 340 is just over double the cost of my current car monthly, and with some upcoming big events next year, I think I'd want to get rid of it in a year or so.

I'm slightly worried that with the high lease rate, it may be hard to either sell it without having to fork up more out of my own money, or find someone to take it over in a year.

My dealer says this car is super desirable, and very hard to get. He also says the factories in Germany may be shutting down in the new year if the war continue, and lease rates will likely still be high for a while. He also said there may be more price hikes incoming.

What do y'all think? Stupid of me to get it with the intention of getting rid of it in a year or so? Or get it and I should be fine?

Yes stupid if you are getting rid of it in a year. Ride out your current lease and see what the market looks like when you are ready to shop again.

Stay with your current car.

Obviously the dealer is going to come up with a dozen reasons why you need to get the new one. And I think the G20 is now going to be made in Mexico not Germany.

keep the 330i if there's nothing wrong with it. its insane that you have to pay over $1300/month for a m340i.

G20s are assembled in both Mexico and Germany.

Majority main stream G20s are assembled in Mexico with supplementing from Germany. If G20 is custom or individual paint colour, most likely Germany.
