I can go for the lease this month, or wait until the summer if necessary. When is my best bet at starting a lease? Will the monthly payments stay the same for the most part?

In terms of the residual - the E92 has a 58% residual, the E90 has a 61% residual.

The 3.9% and 4.9% rates are still valid thru February.

WTF residual dropped 2%??!!!!

my credit union still only offers 6% as the lowest rate and that's the best i've found around. so BMWFS actually offers a really good deal with 4.9% on the 335. i'm already approved and will not likely wait till march as i don't believe they will lower it for the "popular" models.

That's for 15k per year

12k = 60% and 63% respectively.

Between now and the next 3 months, which do you think would be the best to lease an e92? How about for an e90?

I honestly have not the slightest idea what BMW is planning to do with the rates. However, for me personally and outside the realm of sales, I don't think waiting 3 months to save $10-$15 bucks a month is worth it just for "the deal". The way I see it, the deal will always be better right after you buy it, call it Murphy's law. The payment won't go up or down anymore than $10 or $15 from where it is now. It barely changed throughout all of 2007's on the 3 series, it would slighty go up and slightly go down, but never anything super significant. The 3 series is the bread and butter BMW and they know it, so there are never any "SCREAMING DEALS" on them.

So for me? I wouldn't delay gratification by 3 months when I know at the most I could probably save 15 bucks by waiting

Haha good point. Now the only debate: To do ED or not to do ED?
