From a lease worksheet printed by dealer yesterday for sDrive35i, 36 months, 12K miles:
Residual = 54%; MF = .00295.
Cars going above MSRP - returning BMW owners may get a bit under. Obviously no sub-venting on leases.
Compared to 335i E93 at same just-released new-model stage in early 2007, E89 s35i MF is slightly lower, residual 6% points lower - probably just reflects change in car market in past 2 years.
