You drive 2,500 km more per year than the offer assumes. Estimated price for the extra distance: SEK 126 a month. BMW Privatleasing: BMW 120, 36 months, 10,000 km a year, servicing included, variable payment that follows interest rates. Set-up fee SEK 595 and invoice fee SEK 55 a month. Source: bmw.se, read on 26 October 2026, valid until 31 October 2026.

Buying: SEK 383,800 for a new car in the same version, and SEK 273,348 back when you sell it after 3 years. The residual value is based on ad prices for 3-year-old cars, adjusted because you drive 37,500 km in 3 years instead of the typical 49,000 km. The interest is what the money costs: interest on a car loan, or the interest you miss on savings. Fuel, insurance and tax are the same either way. Excess mileage and abnormal wear are charged when you hand back a leased car, and trading in a car you own at a dealer usually gets you less than the ad price.
