Why do you think most Benzs and Bimmers are leased?

Odds are, that awesome 4th gen in your sig still has working power windows. A Benz or a 3-series of the same era? Nuh-uh.
I would think the opposite. Personally, I still have a 1995 e36 M3 and 2 other 1990's 3 series (mom and sister) with working power windows. I know more about BMWs than domestics and I have owned 40+ cars. Domestic quality vs import quality 10 + years ago, hands down import head and shoulders above. These days, I would say domestic is a whole lot better. MB and BMWs are often leased because they cost a ton to just buy and they always have great lease terms. You are implying people lease them because they are crap after 3 -4 years. You are wrong.
