I know BMW Bellevue is pretty stingy on their pricing, however I did snag my 2020 M2C in April of 2019 under MSRP at Bellevue. Generally speaking, there were markups on those cars back then. I guess similar to what's happening now.
BMW Seattle was more competitive in pricing than Bellevue, on their trade in and the car price, however they only had one car and it was a 2019. I would work with Bellevue and Seattle and have them outbid themselves for you.
However, I think you are 100% correct, $1400 a month on a lease is insane. $1400 a month on an M3 is unthinkable.
Unfortunately, it isn't the best time to be a car enthusiast when all of the amazing cars you want are commanding a premium.
