Lease Payment Calculation Formula:
(Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation
(Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Base Rate = Interest
Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment

Terms Used in Lease Formula:
CAP COST = Vehicle Purchase Price (amount financed)
RESIDUAL VALUE = MSRP (window sticker) X Residual %
TERM = Length of Lease in Months (3 years = 36 months)
BASE RATE = Dealer’s Buy Rate (dealer can mark this up for profit)

NOTE: The manufacturer (captive) lease programs provided are for reference only. Base Rates may vary by region. Your dealer has the option of offering you a higher rate.

If new, they are still using residual %s.

I confirmed from multiple dealers that as of Feb 2, the 08 E92 M3 coupes (sedans/converts still good til 3/2) no longer have BMW leasing support. So dollar based (aka horrible 30-35% 3 year residual) residual and standard 10X higher .0026-.0032 money factors.

If one is set on a coupe lease, much better to go with 09 coupes now.

I heard that too, no more "almost 0" MFs for 2008 M3s.
