May Rates

Anyone have any thoughts on what direction May residuals and factors will trend?

As good as they are right now I doubt you'll see better. E93 is rock bottom, there's probably some room for the 90/92 to drop a little but I'd think that's unlikely. If I were to bet I'd say they'll start to move up a little soon. That said, it's extremely hard to predict what BMW will do.

What do you mean rock bottom? As in it won't get any better or it is bad?

Yeah, like only doing a pull ahead program for 07-08 Z4s for April instead of continuing the e90 pull ahead into April... I could have a 2011 Z4 s35i by now :-(

Sorry, I mean rock bottom as in very good rates (i.e., lower expense). The E93 M3 rates right now are 61%/.00090 for a 36 month/15k mile lease. That is really cheap and, depending on how you option them out, you can get the M3 cheaper than a similarly equipped 335iS. The E90 and E92 rates are higher than the E93 so there may be some room for them to improve but I think it's unlikely, it's more likely the E93 will go up closer to the E90/92 rates now that winter's over. Again, that's just a guess on my part.

E93 rates may rise due to convertible weather now being here - the vert needs some $$$ help in the cold months, and it really got it this year.
