I thought you meant the BMW e53 which was discontinued in 2006. Then I realized you’re talking about the Benz. Of your options, leaning towards the X3 m40i

Buy out the lease and wait a bit

I’ve heard great things about the BMW X3 M40i, perfect mix of practicality and performance

I ordered a Tesla model 3 SR in April and I am able to take delivery this weekend, however I’m now unsure of whether it’s the right move financially. I have a lease on a 2020 BMW X3 that will end next month and was wondering if I should just buy that out and drive it for a few years. If it makes a difference I’m in SoCal so gas is $$$, but no EV charging in my apartment.

Tesla: $830/month + charging and insurance
BMW: $600/m + $150 gas + maint/insurance

Any thoughts? Is the Tesla worth it?

Any tips on buying a new car? This will be my first time buying a vehicle. It all seems really overwhelming and I’m not sure where to start.
