My Take: Wow, BMWFS seems to be adjusting their residual values on the 2010 for sure now. Compare 2009 numbers with 2010 numbers on the X line of SUVs. The residuals are maybe 1 or 2 points higher than a 2009 August rate! Looks like tough times ahead for BMW lessees. They don’t look horrible, but I get the feeling that things are gonna get a bit more expensive down the road since residual values have the tendency to drop over time. Maybe BMWFS will keep the residuals steady for a longer period of time, then fluctuate the MF based on previous month sales figures? (wishful thinking here). Either way, brace yourself if you plan to lease a BMW in the coming year.

My Take: Some day, my pretty….some day….
My Take: Yuck. The 2010 TSX lease rates are just not very appealing right now. The money factor is way too much for my liking. It will probably still lease “reasonably” but you didn’t come to this site trying to get into a “reasonable” lease now did you? If you gotta have it, consider MSDs. If you can wait, I would wait for the MF to drop so that the payments fall under $400 a month.
My Take: Shocking, I know. This is probably one of those rare moments where you will find a Caddy listed on the site. This is US Bank lease, which is why it actually looks pretty decent. I believe the 12k lease is 1% higher on the residual. The SUV looks very sharp and very luxurious, unfortunately, Car and Driver thought the engine was somewhat underpowered compared to other similarly priced SUVs.
