leasing seems to make sense like you said since the tech gets dated so quickly

I think it's a very cool looking car.

Hasn't that always been the reason to lease a new BMW. Their residuals are calculated in cracksmokinville, so you wind up with a great lease term and BMW winds up with a constant supply of CPO cars.

I have no i8 experience but two things stood out on my extended i3 test drive.
1) The electric experience (quiet, torquey, smooth and one-pedal, all good stuff). 2) Being in a carbon/non-metallic car just felt different and made me happy. If you can get a lease transfer with no stories, I'd say do it. The tires look skinny but I'm guessing that's by design. |

Keep in mind these cars are around $150k, their lease prices I would think should be in the low to mid $2k range. |

I can see a lease on a car like that being very attractive, assuming you're planning to get a car like that. You've also got the additional problem of what the secondary market is for a 150-200K car. You're probably not going to sell it on Craigslist to try and get a better price than the trade-in offer. |
