How many had traded their 1 up for a 1M?

My135 · 05-31-2011, 09:45 AM

I am kind of wondering how many 1 owners here had traded (or going to trade) up for a 1M? I am thinking about trade in my 1 and lease a 1M just to get the same monthly payment. Do you think that it is possible to get a 3 years lease on a 1 M with monthly payment $600-750 range? I am tempted. Please share your opinion on this subject. Thanks.

Or continue to upgrade my 1 with coil over and a catless DP. Which way to go???

With the money you spend on upgrades you would be better off just getting the 1M.

I traded my 118d for a 1m, cash for both

Yes, I've traded my 135i, 1M due in 11 days :-) Can't comment on your US finance question though.

I have a 1M on order, and when I get it I'll either be trading in or selling my 2011 135i. I'll have see what they offer me for the trade, and whether I think I can sell it for enough more to make up for the $1800 in taxes I'll save if I trade in.

Have your dealer do a "courtesy trade" as you sell private and do the paperwork through them. That's what I'm doing.

^^ Or you can do what I did and sell the car to an individual but thru the dealership to take advantage of the tax credit. My dealer charged a nominal fee for facilitating this but it's worth it in the long run.

Exactly. We call it a convenience trade in these parts.
