One other thought for OP….in most states sales tax is only paid on the lease payment, not the entire price of the car(unless you are in Texas)…thus the sales tax hit is only $2,500. If OP were to buy out the car at lease end I suspect he might not need to pay sales tax on the buyout amount given his circumstances. My other question, I wonder if there is an option to buyout the lease early…as a way to capture the lease incentive but take ownership earlier and save some of that sales tax. That would be a question for the BMW F&I guy. I suspect his lease would need to be “seasoned” for at least a year before a buyout would be permitted.
I understand OP’s perspective and desire to customize his i4, but those mods will be extremely costly.
