* Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms

My Take: Overall, the rates for most “short term” leases remain unchanged. However, the longer term leases have a higher MF. There isn’t anything to worry about since most folks shouldn’t be leasing BMWs for more than 36 months anyway.
