I left the M3 off of my F80 - kind of important. I’m not aware of any lease rates that would be better than just buying one, but I haven’t tempted myself enough to go digging.
I don’t think a regular 3 series is a significant improvement off the Q50 I used to have to justify anything of the sort on that front. That may be blissful ignorance on my part, but maybe not.
If we are talking about the 4banger or 6 cyl variant (not the M version), the HP and Torque overall is lower than the Q50, TLX, Juke, and the Civic Hatchback. I don't see any significant improvement over the Q50 with a regular 3 series, other than brand reputability in the car culture (not the reliability). Plus, its a bit small, sort of the size of an ILX, older Civic generations, etc. Unless, if your original intentions was to make this a daily driver, that is doable.
