read this post. it is what it is, but to reiterate my point ( i admit i did a half assed job of explaining). the first year of " use" on a lease is going to cost more than the final 2... Yes, i know the payments are not actually more, but you will be upside down on 95% of luxury car leases after the first year.
Perhaps the M5 holds better being more of an enthusiast car and holds well, but nobody in their right mind should take over a lease over without an incentive, if the residual + the payments is more than the car is worth unless somebody is dying for a term use of the car, but to take over for 2+ years, in my opinion you should get an incentive
