My Take: There’s a slight improvement on the money factor (.0001) compared to February’s mid-month revision. The bad news is that it is still more expensive than before the mid-month revision ($381 to $408, which is around $1000 more over the course of the lease on the 128i). I’ll let you decide if this qualifies as a DO NOT LEASE vehicle, but I am inclined to recommend that you approach this lease with caution.
