My Take: Not a good time lease a 1-series. The residual values have dropped and MF has stayed the same this month. I don’t need make payment estimates for you on this car. If you are curious as to how much it will cost you, look up August’s numbers and tell yourself that it’s going to be at least $40 more per month. If you still want to see at a payment range estimate, drop me a comment and I will whip one up.
