Or just spend $3k on a used car and budget for repairs. Unlike a leased car, you're not locked into a lease for a few years and no mileage restrictions. I've been doing this quite successfully since I learned to drive in the 90s

I don't think that I've spent $5k total for buying and fixing the 240D in two years, and I can still likely sell it for what I bought it for, if not more. I've driven it up and down the East Coast, and it's never left me stranded.
