insurance quote is 40$/mth, the electric lease deals on the E have been under 100$ month several times with zero down, and no gas costs. Factor in wear and tear on the BMW, and yes, I will definitely make money and it does make sense. 180 is also a conservative estimate, I'm getting 17mpg and do roughly 42-50 miles a day, $4 a gallon is about 10$ a day, so it's more like 180-230 a month. LA is pothole city, so wear and tear is actually more important in this equation than even the gas. Driving the 135 through stop and go every day for 2-3 hours a day is going to cause issues with the car.
So yes, it makes sense.
