My Ride: 2005 530i jet black, NAV, premium, automatic, xenon
My lease runs out in November 2007 and I planned to buy the car at the end of the lease term. Now I am considering getting a new car (definitely a 5 series) at the end of the lease term. One reason I may buy the leased car is that in a couple years I expect there will be a body style change and I would rather hang on to the 2005 model i have and gain some equity while I wait for the new model. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Gain equity? Its a car, it will depreciate and even more so when a new body style comes out.
also, there will always be something newer/faster/shinier that is about to come out. get whatever makes you happy.
