I think the trend of vehicle leasing will be cut back in the US; however, I highly doubt that BMW will cut back on leasing as much as 60%. All the luxury brand manufacturers rely heavily on leasing because it generates repeat sales for them. I personally believe the culprit to blame is gas; which has affected new car sales, and resale value of used vehicles. That is why dealers are able to give the nice folks on this forum discounts up to 3k (so I've heard) on E90 and E92 M3. People are cautious of buying gas-wasting engines.
