Sorry, it'd be Premier Purchase (aka balloon purchase)
I keep erroneously saying "lease" but I'm planning on a Premier Purchase, in which one can sell the car if one wants. It just feels like a lease.

Interesting...how does that work exactly? Are you still paying just the depreciation aka lease or is there some other nuance to it?

You pay and pay and pay and in the end Audi takes the car from you anyway...

Say you have 36-month financing. The first 35 months are a low-ish payment based on depreciation, and the final payment is a ginormous balloon. It's technically a purchase but has low monthly payments like a lease. The idea is that it favors those who would likely sell the car right away to get something new.

Have you thought about safety?
The 3-Series's safety cage is not as solid as the B8 on side impact crash.<ul><li><a href="http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=622">http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=622</a</li></ul>

Dinan chip for the BMW is a huge temptation for me to try them - 384hp/421tq
