Hi Patrick,

I have an operational lease via the company. We get already a nice discount on the list price. Still then, there's a huge difference in the monthly lease rate for a 30D as opposed to a 25d !

My well equipped 25 sdrive leases for 1135 euros / month (incl 65% VAT), whereas a similar 30d is over 1350 euros / month ! That, plus the taxation on company cars (so-called "voordeel in natura") made it too far a stretch for my lease budget and what I'm willing to pay myself.

Actually, the car will come with the RF but I negotiated with the lease company that any replacement tyres would be non-RF which brought the lease price down with more than 20 euros / month (enabling me to add a few options instead).

Maybe I'll try to drive the car again with RF for a longer period to make up my mind. Or keep the standard RF anyhow and then decide what I'll do when they have to be replaced.

Cheers,
Alain
