imho the end of a lease is a great opportunity to do something different. If you simply get another 335i, wouldn't it had made more sense to purchase, especially since you've only put 9500 mi on the vehicle? The low mileage directly benefits the lessor's wholesale value. To me, it's a golden opportunity to move up, or move down (save $$$ in this economy), but not to do the same. To lease a 335 in the 500's, when the dealership sent me an email Fri. night stating 8k off a new E90 335 2k8 i.e. 39k with sport/prem/step/cold seems to imply a disconnect....the fire sale prices on the vehicles (like 11k off a 2k8 new M3) don't seem to be reflected in the leasing prices. What is particularly hilarious is that one is putting 5k down to get these lease prices in the 500 range. They hold the monthly pyt down while increasing the downpyt--that's contrary to a 39k new E90 335, whose discount got slammed by at least 5500 since last year.
