When the G20 is first released, I doubt you'll see very many deals on them.

Interesting, I think I'll look into it this week. Did the math, can afford the 320i on a lease right now comfortably, an increase in price is doable but more restrictive.

Hell, if you don't mind buying used, you could easily save a shit ton of cash on buying a used 320i (especially since german cars depreciate heavily unlike your Toyota) and if need be, spend some cash on an extended warranty (if your scared of reliability), and still have extra cash leftover, and if the 320i isn't enough for you, there's also the idea of a 328/330i (new or used). I think you will be fine with a F30, as it will be an upgrade from your Prius no matter what.

Great information, thank you. Good mileage! How old/ how many miles would you say would be good to look for used? Not opposed to the idea, but I am scared of reliability compared to a new one (3 yer warranty new, correct?)
I'm very excited to join the bimmer club, it's just a very weird time to jump in with the G20 around the corner (maybe a good time)
