This again...M or 50i with chip?

I know this is a recurring question and only one that I can answer, but my lease is going to be due for a refresh in a few months and I'm having trouble deciding between going with the 50i or the M.

I'll admit I'm not a big fan of the M body kit...I think the 50i looks better with the black trim. The performance of the M is hard to argue with but I really feel like I'll have 95% of that with the 50i plus a chip. The paddle shifters are the only thing that I'd like to have that I can't get on the 50i. I'd like the carbon trim but that can be added.

On top of that, even a mostly fully loaded 50i sits a good $20K cheaper than the M and BMW has notoriously poor leases on their M models, so I'm betting the price difference will be even larger than the $20K suggests.

Am I missing something?
