Sorry about the "yelling", if any.

Could you explain more? Or point me to a solid Thread that has everything you refer to?
Thank you!
BTW, I'm thinking about a 650xi coupe....
A few key things in calculating lease payment are "money factor", "residual value" and "selling price". Here's a very educational article about how the monthly payment is calculated: http://www.leaseguide.com/lease08.htm

Once you are familiar with all the terms, http://www.bmwconfig.com is a good site to calculate the payment. To check monthly residual values, you can go to http://www.ridewithg.com where you can find the most updated RV for all models.

In addition, the sub forum called "Ask the dealer" under Bimmerfest is extremely helpful. Lots of educational posts along with the real deals people got.

Hope that'll help.
