    December deals?

    What is the lease credit and usaa credit? Is the lease credit just passing back some of the federal tax credit? If buying, I am being offered $6,000 off msrp for a BEV. Is that comparable, better or worse? Bay Area.

    December deals?

    Thank you. Also, I get a $2,500 CA tax credit if I purchase or lease for at least 36 months. I really don't want to borrow or finance anything. Though I want a guaranteed buyback price. The other key question is how big of a discount off msrp?

    December deals?

    What should I ask for on a discount off MSRP for a BEV? I have been offered $6,000 off, but have heard of substantially higher discounts. Can anyone give guidance? I may do a lease to get the depreciation locked in, but the flex that allows me the benefit of the full tax credit. Would the...

    Getting DC fast charging option?

    I will have an ICE car too. My dilemma is the discount on a non DC equipped car is really attractive do the option will cost me thousands and a less desirable color!

    Getting DC fast charging option?

    As I look at the available i3's most of the BEV's don't have the DC charging option. In fact the one I like best for the price doesn't have it. I only plan to lease the car for 2 or 3 years. Given there aren't many CCS stations do you still recommend getting the DC option? Is it w must...

    Why an i3 not a Tesla

    Actually I am looking at a second car too. The i3 for around town and a bigger awd for road trips and skiing. Maybe a 3 series awd or a used panamera. Or Macan. Frankly I just love the interior of the i3. The tesla was too big even though the new one is awd and I could conceivably only...

    Why an i3 not a Tesla

    I am very interested in buying an i3. I probably would have gone for the tesla except for it is too large for the city use I need it for. Why did you pick the i3 over the Tesla? Size? Price? Mission (no need for greater range)?

    How may months/miles was tho for? And was your residual percentage based on msrp/sticker? Did you get owners choice for the tax credit? Or do they get that?

    That's a big change. I was thinking about the new c63 when it comes out next spring. What do you think of the transition?

    Just can't rationalize the lease cost

    What is the current best residual for a 24 month 10,000 mile and 36 month 10,000 mile lease? Thanks

    Test drove today: motion sickness?

    It sounds like it wasn't imaginary then. Neither of the kids were using an iPad or screen. I wasn't staring at the display either and I felt it. I was reasonably smooth, so the salesperson said, as I am used to the regen from a Prius. When we switched back to the 335i none of us felt the...
