Take your net monthly paycheck and divide it by your E60 car payment (not any other cars payments) to get the %age spent on your E60. And be honest-it's anonomous so you are impressing no one.

Yea but some of us just can't get over the fact that we don't "own" the car when we lease. But I guess it is wiser to lease a car, especially if you keep your cars less than 4 years.

[/quote]Depends on what you want to do with your money If you were to invest then ya of couse use it like that if you plan to keep your car 10 years and dont plan on doing anything else with your money then why pay the interest... Sure you can argue inflation but its still not as much as interest...
5 properties??? What kind? 60 70K here in Los Angeles get you shit.

Leasing is only worth while if you own a business and you can write it off. Otherwise it makes so sence you should buy the car and trade it in or sell it after three years/
