I can relate to your dilemma. I just recently purchased an 08 M3 with 36,000 miles on it after seriously considering leasing an M4. The best lease deal I got was $975 a month for 36 mo./10k yr after I put $6k down (GA car tax sucks). This was a selling price of around $73k, sticker was $77,300 and the money factor was not inflated with 58% residual
Do I think a better lease deal will happen in December? No, I do not. These cars are selling very well. The dealer I was working with was in a small town in a neighboring state. In a year you may see residuals at 62%.
I paid $35,000 for my M3 and will hold onto it for 2-3 years and either get a used M4 or a new M2, once they are released.
