We shall see if the dec lease programs come out early enough .. 540 program was quite strong in November. Didn't want to lose that. So made sure the deal was dated for today.

@Mattl0806 I'll believe it when we see it.

If he actually signs for this car, y'all can create a pool to see who comes home with an M550 first, me or him.

Oh man it does look good with black wheels.

Ultimately, the color is what drove me to go back to it today and the Mocha leather interior. Love it. Time to spice it up a bit over my original black on black design.

I'm just realizing now tho it would have been cheaper to build a new one with the car broker and pay his 699 fee again than to get this car now for 60/month more. Oh well I get it now and not in 2 months Haha

Love mocha! I got it with the matte fineline wood. What wood trim does the 540 have?

That's a great combo and I wish this had that too.

It's grey poplar.

The trim is the one part of this color scheme I would change (I think). I'll wait to see in person to cast full judgement.

Sexcellent. I like the gray poplar too. I had that on my Montego blue e92 with a black interior back in the day.

Yea I think it goes well with black. I have it on my x3. But mocha?

I've seen mocha and gray. It looks good because top of dash and top of door panels are black. It makes a good transition down to the mocha.

That's spot on what I was hoping for!

It depresses me to see what the values are now for comparable 540's to mine. But on the bright side… the 550's are cheaper too

It may take 18-24 months, but eventually I think we will get back to the days of normal supply, reasonable rates, and decent rebates. Hopefully my patience holds that long… haha.

There's something wrong with me. I love my car. At least I don't have this issue with women. That would be WAY more expensive!

Still waiting to get December money factor and residual but I think I can see the lease incentives and they did NOT improve any.

Oh wow. I just hung up with the finance guy.
Seems like he's pulling a fast on me.

I knew from the start they were marking up the MF but they were giving me 6.8% off msrp before incentives. They marked up MF from .002 to .0023. This essentially brought the msrp discount to an effective 5% or so.

He just called and I asked about dec MF and he said it went up if anything. However I found out it went down…

Operating as if the MF was higher in December - He said I could keep my payment the same and he would offer ceramic coating for free. His logic was whether we make the money on the MF or the ceramic is all the same for them. So he'd rather give me the ceramic coating and keep the payment the same.

But… now technically that mark up is from .0018 to .0023 …. Hmmmm.

This deal could be a lot better than what I'm paying. I might have to second guess this

Rates are continuing to go up, so I'm surprised MF went down.

A car broker just posted on lease hacker that money factors are down.

The finance guy at this dealership is telling me the programs are not out…

Not sure who to believe, except programs have to be out since if someone wanted a car today the Nov expired….
