I’m planning to lease an X3 m40i or X3M/X3M Competition, and it is very likely that I will need to get out of the lease early. I took both cars on brief test drives, and think that I would be very happy with either.
Yes try and get a shorter term lease if you are sure you will need to get out of either lease early.
Just some info. Bought my wife the X3 M 40i and it’s a GREAT daily drive. 5 months later (less than 2 months ago) bought the X3M for myself. (Non competition).
Just a blast to drive but suspension much stiffer than the M40i. For a daily drive I’d suggest the M40i but for pure fun and excitement the X3M.
Also I did buy my X3M and got just over 20% off mrsp. This included all rebates but still an excellent deal IMHO.
Happy driving
