M3LR buy or lease

[chris-p]

Hi guys, i recently bought my fist ev a leaf a few months ago to replace our 2nd car, as its been a good experience, im considering changing my s6 for a m3lr later in the year.
Im ttrying to get my head round the depreciation, published figures suggest 60% retained after 3yrs. I was planning on a £20k loan and the rest in cash, so roughly £5k year over 4 yrs. i the best lease deals i could see were maybe £7k year.
Whats peoples thoughts?
