Lease. Only way I could convince myself to get one of the first ones: the option to change my mind if it ended up being a POS. Fortunately thus far not the case!

Cash - though at the expense of putting less equity into the house. Mortgage rate is much better than any kind of personal or car loan.

Almost the same scenario here except it's a 36 month lease but going for the M5 after that!

Me too. Although I paid half with real cash and half with cash I took out of house equity. In the US interest paid on loans against your primary residence is a tax deduction.

Moved 10 kilo's of blow up from Miami to New York... Cut it, baked it, and had three crackheads pushing my rocks across the city...

Still wasn't enough, so I called my bank, put a couple, three, four grand down and financed it at 3%. USAA! Best bank in the country!

Hey, I could pay cash on the next 5 Series iteration if you guys call your congressmen and tell them to give the military a cost of living raise! Tell them that BMW won't take food stamps for a down payment and Ruf needs thier support!
