Sure, I did, one post does not generalize the whole market. I have been around here on these forums for long enough to see a change in trend. Dealerships still make you feel you are getting a "GREAT" deal with $500- $1000 below invoice on a stock car. 46K car maybe good deal, 60k car not so good deal. I have been leasing since 2009, for myself and a family member, but the game has changed looks like OR the forum members have "graduated" to beyond X below invoice with some insider info.

Don't try to squeeze 330i pricing out of a m340i, it's not reasonable. Lastly, remember, it's a business the dealer needs to make some money as well.

If you want to lease then: provide the money factor, residual value, and selling price. This will let the dealer know you have done your homework, and it's quite possible the transaction will be a simple order, deposit, and production number situation (no up selling no sales person BS)
Good advise, this is my 7th BMW lease, couldn't agree more to doing my homework, glad I learned a lot about these gotchas from this forum back in 2009 for my first BMW lease
