this is the closest I can get the calculator to
MF markup increases monthly by $50ish so if you can get them to give you a 2% discount, that will even out the markup

No comparison is needed, itâs just common sense based on the value of the car vs cost of the lease. As you said, when it comes to new model year, hot cars, if someone wants to play, they have to pay and in this market, the misery is compounded. Could the deal be worse, sure, but the only good or fair in this context are relative to the degrees of bad.
In this case, about $1700 in total cost.

if youâre not set on a bimmer, look into ordering a m550i, many brokers here are doing 6% off with base mf so even if you got a 84k build it would be way less than the m3. thatâs factoring the shitty rebates for the 2022 MY. rebates will most certainly increase as MY 2021 cars are finished so can even get cheaper.

Then it basically comes down to how bad you want that car and if youâre ok paying this. There isnât much room for improvement at the time. Could improve later this year or early 2022
3.19% on this much depreciation, in a state that forbids MSDs?

Just my 2 cents:
I saw one in person and while it was striking, it wasnât a GOOD kind of striking (such as when you see a newer Ferrari, McLaren etc).
Rather like⌠âWTF is that design language?â Similar to some of Lexus offerings with itâs predator mouth levels of WTF.
Like others said, Iâd rather go with a M550i, or for 200 more a month, you can get a M5 lease off Swapalease or find one on the M5post forums which is a 125+k car.
Paying $1,150 is EXPENSIVE even considering the whole ///M line up.
Just for kicks: My significant others M8 Comp was $1,300 a month and itâs $159k sticker. Just TT&L due at signing.

Design language is relative to everyone, if he likes he likes it.
Also I promise you, you would not be able to get an m8 for that price right now. All bmws were significantly cheaper prior to this whole neverending fiasco.

OP, if you have to have the car, Id just buy/finance it as opposed to leasing it. M3âs of the past generally hold their value relatively well, so in 3 years if youâre sick of the car, just sell it - youâd end up ahead vs paying these ridiculous leases.

Will just add my voice to say youâre getting about market average right now, which is not great but also not likely to improve anytime soon. So if youâre dead-set on the car and donât want to wait, probably should pull the trigger. You could also go with a broker where it seems like theyâre going for MSRP, but youâll likely be able to get base MF. That savings will be partially but not fully consumed by the broker fee.
Another benefit of a broker with a build allocation is if you donât like some options on this specific car youâd be able to build one from scratch and maybe save some money getting rid of options you donât need/want.

Iâd pay $500 to save $1700.

Me too, absolutely. But if this person is new to leasing didnât want them to think it would be a free $1,700 with no cost.

I want the car but 1700 - broker fee is worth waiting.

Could be more than a few weeks. Make sure broker has an allocation and not getting one âsoonâ.

Especially if the car comes from any other state when you could at least apply MSDsâŚ

Wow never thought Iâd see the day where M3s are going for MSRP. Even with the chip shortage, when they unveiled the new design if you went by peopleâs forum remarks you would think they had to sell them at a discount.
