In a lease, if you were to have a bad accident, you can walk away from the car with no cash outlay. Plus, you're not paying for maintenance (where as you are on a used M3), and when you get rid of the car, you don't have to go through the hassle of negotiating with potential buyers, worry about scams, and owing more than you owe.

I should point out that on BMW's current cars having a money factor of 0.00125, * 2400, your effective interest rate is 3%.
