Once I had the configurations set the 550 was only $2500 more than the 535. To me that made the decision to go with the 550 a no-brainer.

You forget the cost of depreciation, at the end the 550 will depreciate more than the 535,
Of course you may not care about this point, and at the end what really counts is how much you enjoy one car over the other and costs are irrelevant[/QUOTE]
And when you lease, you do not care about depreciation... only that the Residual Value is high enough for a good deal.
