Implications of buying..

Hey guys.. I'd like to field an opinion from you all..

In light of these brutal lease rates, I'm playing with the idea of buying the car outright, over a 4 year period (~$1200 a month, where it is around $900 to lease). What do you guys think of this? I'm somewhat worried about what I'm going to do with it after, and how much money I'll lose, essentially. I'm also a little afraid how much the 135i will improve over four years.

Also... I'm usually a big believer in buy-what-appreciates-rent-what-depreciates. But of course there is the enjoyment factor along the way.

After using Edmunds lease/buy calculator, it recommended buying instead of leasing at these rates.

Opinions are appreciated!
