You guys are high..........get off the crack..........
Just 5mos. ago the cheapest M car the M roadster originally on BMWUSA.com was leasing for $1,100/month.........on a frickin 56k car!!!!!
BMW is not stupid, they will maximize profit and keep leases high until demand becames to subside a little which is usually 2-3 years into it......
Now if you have an M3 base w/no options than you might get something around a grand........
Oh, and forget 60mos. being cheaper- BMW wants you back after 3 years so their 42/60 mos. leases are higher than their 36... Just check out BMWUSA.com and build your own and you'll see what I mean.....
