My Take: The “Land Shark” has started to show it’s age, so it looks like BMW is looking to push these cars out the dealer lots a bit. Note the slightly lower MFs and fairly high residual values. There’s a new Z4 in the horizon. Check it out! Not exactly getting my blood boiling with excitement, but I’m rather sick of looking at the current Z4.

My Take: Summer is here and BMW has dropped their MF and kept their residual values the same as in May for the Z4. That means you will be leasing this car will come out to be a bit less than last month (probably around $5-$10). Not much, but with every else going up in price around us, it’s better than nothing.

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.
