And if the bank was right and the depreciation is as bad as they claim it will be and I can't sell it... well, then, it's not my problem and i just hand the keys to my dealer.

that exactlyyyyy what i was thinking...im glad im not alone...its sort of a win win....you start lookin to sell a month or two before your lease is up...if you can come up a good 5 or even 10 grand why not? if not your right just go ahead and drop the keys off at the dealer....I mean you can easilyy get 40 to 45 after 3 years...cuz ive been lookin at e46 m3's and ive seen 4 or 5 year old models selling for 35 to 38 thousand range...and the e46 isnt even a 70 thousand dollar car...
