My Take: Ok I got kind of lazy so I didn’t want to list the X3, X5 and X6 individually, so here’s the complete list. Honestly, the X lineup is not my cup of tea since I don’t really enjoy driving SUVs much (size, parking, higher viewing clearance, etc…). I just like sitting lower and closer to the ground. It doesn’t surprise me to see the X3 holding better residual values than the other two (X5, X6). Everything seems to be dictated by gas prices and the X3 seems to consumes the least amount. I still think BMW needs better lease support to make them great lease deals. But this is BMW and they don’t really need to do much to move their cars.
