I have to. I could travel to Antarctica, but there are no hotels and no flights down there.
Hotels and cars have A/C and for swimming and scuba diving you don't need A/C...
If there would be tourism in Antarctica I would go there, since I am a real great penguin fan, but Antarctica would still not be anywhere close to the beauty of Hawaii!

530e60nl, man, i wish i could do the same. i'll definitely stay with lease for the rest of my life.
Well if you all were in holland I would get you a good deal too and with 544 leased bmw's through my business (545 is mine) I could buy a nice 545 myself next year.... hehehehe

But again, I will give dutch boardmembers who need a lease for their business a very good deal... (this is off course no advertisement )

Hey iceman, I love to travel so you are my friend now....

I thought the same thing as you until they gave me a 60% residual value after 3 years 24K KM per year ..I d rather have BMW take the risk on the future car s value
Good point. I think I would put on more than 24K KM per year, but it doesn't hurt to see what kind of residual value they would give me, right? I'll ask and see what I can get!

Fair enough Skidster, but I think if you forked out 50 grand :'( your opinion might
be different...but for sure my BMW's for me will never be " just another car "

Wouldn't mind if it were for free though...
