It's got 14 mos left.

That's a nice window of time to see what shakes out as far as a potential 335i, etc.

And less cash out the door is good too.

Having a car identical to JST's might be a little weird though.

If you get a 3rd E46 330i, I will have no choice but to laugh and point in your general direction.

If you start new threads complaining about rough idle and stalling, I shall continue to laugh and point in your general direction.

Hell, I'll be laughing right along with you.

The rough idle/stalling is the only thing that scares me. Did they ever find the cure to the problem?

Yeah, the cure is to get someone else to take over your lease.

I tell you, I've never stalled. I've heard the "DISA valve" was the culprit. But who the hell knows. I've not looked into it much.

I have almost the same exact car as the seller has. I have a slight rough idle on cold start but nothing after the first 30 seconds of car running but never a stall or other problems. That is a CRAZY cheap lease amount for that too! I have 17K miles on my car and pay a lot more than that. I wonder if that guy put some extra cash down on that.
