Good point variable! In order to accommodate my own M5 ED delivery I need to extend my M3 lease out by 1 to 2 months and yes, will be forced to pay for an additional year of tabs to Washington state. It's ~$208 to renew, or in my head, an additional ~$6 per month over the prior 36 month lease. The M5 would be a little bit more to renew tabs on in WA state, however it's a nominal cost difference. I don't believe we get raked in comparison to CA state.
