My Take: Looks like the M3s have a higher money factor than last month while the non-convertibles have become more “lease-friendly” with the introduction of a lower money factor. I still think BMWs in general are overpriced, despite th fact that they one of the best cars on the road. With the dollars being weaker and things around us getting more expensive each week, I personally can’t justify a BMW anymore. However, for those who can afford it, this is the Ultimate Driving Machine.
