My Take: I really don’t have much of a take on this car. It’s been quite some time since the last redesign (about 4 years), so there really isn’t much to get excited about a $40,000+ roaster that looks a bit aged. The rates are pretty low (by BMW standards) and the residual is relatively decent. Leasing this looks be in the $500+ a month range with 1st month + fees due at signing. I personally, I rather have my G37 for $100 bucks less a month, even if its not a convertible.
