I would compare that $52K buyout to what the car is actually worth today. That's step 1.
Step 2 is to borrow the 850i for a day or two to see what you really think. A convertible is sweet, but the rear visibility really sucks when the top is up. I borrowed an M850i convertible for a day a few years ago, when they had way too many from the launch and were giving them away. I was looking at a nearly $30K discount on a base car, but even with that, I couldn't stomach what I perceived to be a really bad depreciation curve, and along with being far underwater on my 540i lease, it just didn't happen.

Agreed. As part of step 1 however it needs to be compared with a new car. That $52K seem high, but the new car will drop 10% or more driving off the lot. The old car took its main depreciation hit years ago and the previous owner is a trusted source ;-)

My dealer called me yesterday to tell me that while the MF stayed the same for May, there are no further incentives (not even $500 for USAA, etc.), AND the residual on the 2022 M850s just got lowered by 1%.
In addition, the market today means very little discount off of MSRP. So risk factor went up a bit by deciding to wait until Sept... |

FYI most of what you listed actually appears to be standard on the M850. Integral active steering, active m suspension professional and soft-close doors all don’t require any options or packages.

Even though I let my dealer know that I wanted to wait until they got a build slot, they are keeping the option open for me all this month (May). As I mentioned before, the residual dropped by 1% therefore raising the monthly lease payment, but because I had completed the BMW credit app I am locked in at the prior residual....oh, and did I mention they are making me a really good deal? So, while the door is mostly closed, it still is open a tiny crack.... EDIT: I am seeing on LeaseHackr that there may be a good program opening up in June on the 8 series!

Just giving you shit, that is a nice looking ride! Definitely more luxury than sporty. Enjoy the breeze!

Speaking of sporty though - the sound of the V8 in Sport mode with the top down makes the Bowers & Wilkins stereo a complete waste of money. I will probably never listen to music with the top down. That engine exhaust roars, burbles and crackles like a demon! Last edited by BMWGUYinCO; 05-21-2021 at 03:59 PM.. |
