It was actually a very good decision as the residual on the lease is much higher than the true depreciated cost at which I can purchase the car. BMWFS will be absorbing the bulk of the depreciation versus me.
That was not my original intent, but it has worked out very well if I choose to buy at lease end.
The main question is buying my own 3 year old used car or a new 370Z. The prices are not all that different.
As far as exclusivity (which I could care less about), I have seen only 1 other Z4M Coupe in almost three years, and that was at a Z3/4 driving event.
