There's a substantial price difference between an Mk7 and a 335i and no way in hell your lease payments would be comparable. On the other hand, if you put these 2 in competition it means you can afford the 335i... I would get the R and mod it from the get go. It will be uniquely yours and still cheaper than a 335i.

Have you done lease price comparisons? They're actually pretty close. Last Autobahn GTI to 335i lease comparison I saw was about 1k down and $50/mo difference. The 335i was very well equipped. Why do you think there are so many 3 series on the roads....

I just traded in my Mk6 for a 2013 328i M-Sport package 6 speed. The ride quality and interior materials are worlds apart. The inside of the BMW is a much nicer place to be then the GTI. My GTI was APR stage 1 w/ intake and although on paper the BMW is comparable to the Stage 1 GTI, in real world driving, the GTI fells much faster. A simple BMS Stage 1 for the GTI should easily fix this. The only thing that takes some getting used to is the size. The F30 is a much larger car and it does take some getting used to. Let me knwo fi you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer any questions as best i can.

We went through this with McGayballs. His 320i was cheaper than a GLI to lease. And expecting the duration you keep the car to be around 3 years, its cheaper to lease the 320i than buy the GLI, mainly due to residual value (or lack thereof in the GLI's case).

I leased my 2011 GTI with dmg protection insurance for $395/month ($26K car). My wife just bought a 2014 320 xi BMW with same protection insurance for $450/month ($38K car). A 335i sells for around $55K so, with same package, the lease is probably around $600/month.
$400 and $600 is not "pretty close", it's $7200 over the life of a 3 year lease.

You can lease a well-equipped 335i for 419/mo and 4k down before negotiating.

Yeah and my wife's car was advertised for $299/month... It may be because we live in the expensive Bay Area but I doubt you can get a 335i for $419/mo here.

Just checked and yes you can.

You forgetting to add taxes and fees. Before any fees, the taxes would 419/month=450.....and that's still with 4 grand down. And that is a no line, premium pack car. Still good for the money, just trying to bring a little reality.

Hmmm thats based on MSRP of 46k that's pretty "cheap" for a 335i
