For leasing there's small difference in residual by 1%.

For me regular sport 535i = msport 528i in term of look. 535i is better due to the 19" wheels and dual sided exhaust. Msport 528i looks good from the front, but the 18" wheels and the rear end (one-sided exhaust) do not look that good.

At the end, since 528i depreciates faster than 535i, I went with 535i.
True. Since I'm leasing, I dont have to worry about depreciation or whether I will still like the car in 2 or 3 years once the looks wear off. I also like that I was able to get the car in carbon black.

I also think i'm going to remove the cold weather package and get premium package II instead. It will increase the price marginally but I'll get an upgraded sound system and rear camera.
