If you are not seeing favorable lease residuals or MF's, you are at the wrong dealer or looking at the wrong model. MB's got some stupid cheap leases out there (i.e. great numbers and cash to support it) for their core C and E models. That tails off with the AMG models and the higher end engines.
You don't have to buy the maintenance packages. I would never buy a maintenance package from any manufacturer. It's simply not worth it. And now that BMW's "free" maintenance is down to 3/36k and has taken off things like brake pads, essentially all it consists of is 2-3 oil changes. And even that's laughable as they program the OCI to come on after 10k-12k miles.
Jaguar has picked up the mantle of best included maintenance now.
