Any thoughts on 135i resale % and MF?

Was looking around on bimmerfest and keep going back to the great resale/MF lease deals going on with the 07 328i/335i, and trying to place the new 135i in terms of these factors. Seems as though the default MF is around .00250-.00275 for new models/models they aren't trying to push inventory on. It seems as though the 135i resale should come in around 55-60%. With these two numbers, it seems as though a lease on a 328i, or even a 335i for that matter, would be MUCH sweeter than the 135i. I keep thinking I should lease a 328 or 335 for 2-3 years, then go for the 135i, either with a more attractive lease deal, or with the 2011(?) redesign. I am one year removed from college and have a nice job, but just moved into a new place and money isn't just floating around. The lower monthly payments/value for your dollar would be nice.

Ok, I'll shut up now and just wait until pricing is announced and all of these things are made clear.....blah blah blah :thumbup:

I also think that the rates will not be so attractive when the 135i comes out so it will be tough to get a good deal. But, I don't think this will stop many people from buying it

In your case, I think you're right about holding off, and maybe getting a 2-yr lease on a 328i and then go with the 135.

Generally correct. Consider that when the Z4 Coupe first came out, the lease deals between the Roadster and Coupe varied by around 250 dollars (favoring the roadster). I would expect the MF to closer to .00325-.00350 for the 135i. Fortunately, I would expect the resale to be closer to 58-62%. Still, the lease deals, as you say, would probably favor the 335i.

so you're suggesting leasing then buying a revamped 135? maybe 145i by that time lol.:thumbup:

If you're set on leasing, which has its advantages with certain models, the best deal you are going to find will certainly be for a 335i sedan. After that lease, the 135i MF will change (as it already has for Z4 Coupes) and hopefully start to favor the 135i, as it should.

The other option is to finance, which, if you work the numbers correctly, should be a much better deal.
