The irony on my end is the M850i is my first foray into the leasing world and thanks to the knowledge learned from Bimmerpost the MSDs were the deciding factor. Granted not as good as the yesteryear MSDs for maximum rate deduction but even with the current program and max of 7 it reduced the APR to 2.23% vs the BMWFS rate of 3.35%. The plan of record is to buy out the car at the end of lease if a M8/M8C CPO at the time does not match my requirements. I'm already assuming the residual will be a joke so I have a close friend committed to buy the car if need be.
Also worth noting, is the CCA rebate which I missed out on with the wife's X5 but took advantage of with the M850i. Just checked the website and my submission was approved so a $1200 bonus ($1500 rebate minus the 3-year membership to ensure qualification). Once again all knowledge gleamed from Bimmerpost I am thankful for.
