Normally, BMW residuals start to increase about 4-6 months after the new model comes out. This is just based on what I've noticed in the past. I believe the current residual of the 650xi is 56% for a 3 year 10K lease.
Obviously, if you are buying, the 2015 would be a much better purchase because it will instantly have a year on the 2014.

My best friends owns a dealership not true at all. Residuals are highest when the new model first released. When I got one of the first Gran Coupes residual was 64 only to go down every month thereafter. New LCI M5 residual when released was high 50's and its going down now. The 2015 will have way higher residuals then 2014....Current residual on 650 3 year lease is like 50 bro..What they dfo to get rid of previous year inventory is not raise residuals but offer manufacturer cash and lower rates
