Some unusual adjustments were made by BMWFS this month. Some models received a bump in residual value (and increase in money factor), while others received a drop on the money factor (residuals remained the same). Looking at 1 and 3 series, it looks like the 128 is getting a little bit more of a discount (135i went a bit) while the 3 series seems to have gone up slightly.

Overall, I would say that BMW leases this month are somewhat hit-n-miss. I personally prefer having high residual and low mf. But if I can’t get that, I would rather have a lower residual and a low mf than a high residual with a high mf. This way, should I choose to buy the car at the end of my lease, my payoff will be lower. That rarely happens, but it’s always nice to have that option.

Speaking of BMWs…this past weekend, some punk kids in a 330i convertible decided to irritate me by cutting me off as we approach a stop light (which was odd since the lane next to me was open). Then they decided to further annoy me (for their own entertainment I guess) by driving 25mph as the light turned green. As I attempted to drive by them, they sped up…seriously…some people have nothing better to do with their time.
