Lease a new 430i or keep my 2018 440i GC?
I am now at a cross roads...I have ruled out a Tesla Model 3. Just cannot get past the lack of options and how simplistic the interior features are.
So now that the 4 series order bank is open, I have the option of leasing a new 430 for $650/mo. or keep my current 2018 440GC for $550/mo. (5yr loan). Not sure I love the new look, but I do find it cool in an ugly sort of way. Love the new Artic Race Blue color. Love the new features. If I keep my car, in 3 years I'll still owe ~13k which I assume I'll be able to sell or trade-in my car (assuming its worth more than that by then). Help me decide! |

I'd keep your current car; pricing for the new 4 series is not going to be great since it's a new model. If you are serious about the new 4 series, I'd wait another year, especially since you don't need a car immediately.

You're downgrading from 6 to 4 cylinders.
I would guess you didn't test drive 430i. Plus you would pay more money for "lesser" car.

I love the GC - we had one for a couple years....a 435. I still find the GC to be a wonderful mix of style and function and to this day they catch my eye on the road.
I would without a doubt keep your car. As others have mentioned perhaps consider a stage 1 flash just to change things up a bit (if that type of thing is of interest to you). Ours was tuned with MP and despite my current M340 - I really miss that car :-) |

That being said, ride the 440 some longer (couple more years) then sell it and get the G22 then for 550/mo. |

I just said f*ck it and ordered it. Arriving mid-October. I hope I like it! Same monthly and down payment as leasing a Model 3 Tesla but way more exciting IMHO...
