LEASING; 24 Months Vs. 36 month??

I am thinking about leasing the E90 soon. BMW is very interesting with their leasing programs, because the shorter you keep the longer, the cheaper the payments. Usually with other car manufacturers, the opposite is true.

I realize why BMW does this...because of their high residual value and free maintenance, they want the car back so they can re-sell it.

The the positive to 24 month lease is cheaper payments, and you get a new car faster. But wouldn't the negative be you lose your down payment so you have to start all over again on your next car?

I am extremely confused about this, and any input you guys could put into this matter would greatly be appreciated.
