Not sure about my new prospective commute though (Columbia, S.C. area), as it may very quickly run up against normal lease mileage caps.
Anyone have success with high mileage leasing? Thinking I might need around 15-20K miles a year, so it'd would be over the hump of 50K by the time the lease ends....

Lease for 15K miles/yr.
Call BMWFS for pre-purchasing extra miles around 6 months lease end. I am guessing you'll get discounted rate of $0.20 instead of $0.25 per mile. Factor that into your extra payment as monthly. With nearly $3000 extra + tax for 15000 additional miles and no interest to be paid on it,
you are looking at ~53% residual vs 57% (for 15K miles/yr) on a $70K vehicle.
Not a bad deal I'd say if you exhaust to 60k miles in 36 months.
I am not sure if there are additional penalties or possibility of discounted per mile rate once you cross 50K on the ODO which is beyond the 4/yr 50K miles warranty. You run the risk of out of warranty repairs in 50-60K mileage window while you have lease contract.
CPOing that car would be a headache for any dealer.
