With incentives and European delivery your savings on your car will more than pay for the trip. I leased this car from a Maryland dealership, while my last car was from a Chicago dealership. The M3 from the Chicago dealership saved me $200/month for 36 months.

For example, if you want to lease a new 428i optioned out to an MSRP of $50,500, the lease would cost you $394/month,except in Texas and a couple other states that tax the entire msrp and not just the payments, plus tax with 0 down, 7 Multiple security deposits(7xmonthly payment with tax) that you get back at the end of the lease or if stolen or totaled, and the $725 acquisition fee. It's very comparable to leasing a $30k car in the US.
