My Take: The 5-series lease rates are pretty good this month. Even the M5, which is normally increadibly expensive to lease, has a reasonable residual value and money factor. Now for fun, I added base estimates of the M5. Keep a couple things in mind, I didn’t include the $5000 dealer cash that’s available on the M5 in my calculations. Just keep that in mind during your negotiations. If that’s too expensive (it is double the price of a 535i after all), you can always go down to the 528i. In my opinion, the 2.8i is adequate on the 3-series since its smaller, on the 5-series however, I feel that it is a bit underpowered. I know the payments look ultra-ridiculous on the M5 right now, but assuming invoice + the dealer cash, 12k miles for 36 months, you may be looking at $962 monthly payments + tax and inception fees.
