My Take: Moving on to the 1-series. I feel these past couple months have been very solid months for the 1-series. Remember last year, around this time the MF was a whopping 0.00265! And the residual was 1% less than it is now! So for those who leased last year around this time, I’m sorry for say this, but you overpaid. Personally, I wouldn’t mind going for the 1-series if they had the 5-door hatch I saw on my trip to Uruguay, but they don’t, so these rides aren’t on my shopping list this year.
