I guess there are assuming current trends since the E93 won't be out for a while.

At this point the leasing companies have mastered the art of future trend projections. It amazes me how every single time at the end of the lease my car's value is in line with the residual set when it was new.

Correct, they state this at the bottom of one of the pages...
*Source for retention percentages in slide show: November/December 2006 Kelley Blue Book Residual Value Guide. Percentages are projected residual values.

If they say that "Figures apply to 2007 BMW 335i, six-cylinder, twin-turbo, two-door convertible. Pictured here is BMW's new-generation 3 Series convertible." Then why is it labelled as a BMW 330Ci Convertible?
