We all know the days of great lease deals on BMWs are over but it's only going to get worse with interest rates continuing to rise and the increased cost of a loaded 3 series. How many takers will there be for this car, as good as it may be, at 900-1000 a month? For a non-M 3 series?
Your analysis is off by a bit, if they keep similar residuals and msrp even as high as 70k loaded with all options you are prolly looking at 800 per month max after tax (for most states). Maybe the first few months of sales might creep over that number but once the first holiday settles in it will drop below. And stay there. If you want one of the first few in the US you might pay a premium.
