Remember, when leasing, the MSRP and selling price, while important, have little to do with the lease pricing when compared to the residual/mf
Think of it like this..
You can get a $72k Z4 35iS lease right now for about $700/month tax inc, $1k OTD, 7MSDs.
But a Porsche Boxster, with a MSRP of about $10k less (so not the S model and not fully loaded), will run you about the same, if not a tad bit more.
So why, does a car that costs $10k less, cost MORE to lease?
Porsche charges .35 per mile, versus BMW's .146 (IIRC), and they have a higher MF.
They also don't have as many rebates as BMW.
So event though my E93 M3's MSRP was priced at 83k, the reason it was a cheap lease was due to the high residual and low MF, as well as the rebates I qualified for (loyalty I remember as being one).

That's true its the residual, I always forget about that, that is why an audi s4 is more than a 335i. I get exactly of you mean. thanks man.
