My Take: At first glance, the 5-series, 6-series and some of the 7-series have decent residual values along with lower money factors. At least they are much better than what Mercedes Benz is currently offering. You might want to hold out on the 1-series still. The residual values are strong, but the money factors are still too high in my opinion. Hopefully they start to drop some after the summer.
