Hi all, I wanted to know what will be involved if i wanted to trande in the 545i for a 550i. How much extra I would have to pay? What would be the major differences from the two? 0-60 differences? style differences?
Currently, I have a lease on my car but within one year I have 30,000 miles on it (due to the long commute to work
) So in other words I was planning on buying it after the lease was over.
Any suggestions?
ps. - oh yea, and how long is the wait for the 550i?

Personally, I'm staying with my 545i. Performance wise the 550i should be around
10% faster. Not that aroused to pull my wallet out for an upgrade.
550i is most likely out here in Sep. US deliveries soon after I guess.

try to transfer your lease on leasetrader.com, I had offers in less than a day, and the transaction was complete in about 4 weeks....
since the 550i will be brand new, I'm sure you'll be paying close to MSRP, and retail lease rates.... the deal will depend on the deal you have on your car now? what are the terms of your current lease?

How much extra would you end up paying?

30,000 miles on it in one year? I don't know how you can get out of that cheaply, unless you paid for a lot of extra miles up front.
Why did you lease a car when you drive it that much?
