It's not nonsense or misleading. On a $120k MSRP car, it is selling for 97k or so (granted, not all dealerships are aggressively trying to sell the 850). That same car is 77k wholesale the next year (2019 version today). Where is the confusion with this? Pretty simple. The hype was last year. Not so "new" this year so a higher discount this year. They couldn't even sell it for full price (or even invoice) last year!!

The next few years will only be worse. Wait until year 5 when these will be discontinued (yes, they already announced that these are going to be discontinued). These will be 30k off sticker. Residuals will be 40% after 3 years. Don't believe me, just look at the 6 series, which was actually a wonderful car with a timeless design (unlike the 8).
