Why do people say Lexus vehicles have such good residual value?

Am I reading this correctly?

Also, how is BMW residual so high?

Granted BMW financial probably inflated their leases but why aren't there an overabundance of BMWs? (OK maybe there are lots of 3 series on the lot)

So where do these lease vehicles disappear to if their values are so high. I don't see that many on the lot at high prices.

Does that mean BMW financial is subsidising both the front and back end with such generous incentives?

If that's the case, how do they make a profit. Do they inflate the MSRP that much to compensate? So the real value of a new M3 might only cost $10K to build.
