Purchasing options

[Valour]

So the F30's are the first line of BMW's I have liked in a long time, since the E46 models, but I was wondering what are some of the differences between the 3 payment options. Finance, leasing, or BMW select. I want to own the car that's for sure but I also don't want a huge monthly note. I'd say $500 would be my limit. But regardless how did you buy yours or how will you buy it?

In your case to get it at $500 a month you will probably have to stretch out the term of the loan and put a hefty down payment.

Lease is out of the option since you are going to want to own it. If you lease and buy it, it may be expensive.

BMW select - have no idea what that is.
