Dealers here are seeing the 3 year MY 15 leases turn in big time. Probably same in the US. Prices should be dropping. Alas its a BMW problem. A smart dealer will either CPO or move to auction and manage the used inventory tightly. Buyers market. As for the walnut blast, these current 3.0 motors dont build up much carbon.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 2:09 pmI'm thinking the same thing.

Yet I get shit for "used" OEM tires that match. Cum-Ho tires don't even come as run craps in that size etc/which are OEM equipment... there must be some story with this car... it is from california ... in georgia... not a dealer... with super low miles... should be a CPO at a

Don’t forget no one wants sedans. Everyone wants crosstrannys so you have tons of supply and no demand.

Well you can’t “buy one out” because the residual is “too damn high” and far above the market value. So this whole “I can trade my car at any dealer” bs that some preach when it comes to getting rid of a car really doesn’t work. You’re locked into it until the end, or a lease take over. Since I’d say 90% of bmw leases are underwater in terms of equity unless you put a ton of money down which is a different type of stupid.Detroit wrote: ↑Sat Jun 23, 2018 8:23 amThis fucked them in 08/9, I assumed they learned their lesson.max225 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 2:17 pm
Interesting... so it looks like BMW is flooded with their lease bullshit.... they must be bleeding from this shit left and right... anything leased from 14-17 is just completely overvalued on their balance sheet, and coming in as a loss every time they transact
Good time to buy out a BMW lease if one was so inclined
However if anyone wanted a nice bmw sedan now is the time to buy. They are the best values in the used market

My point is, BMW doesn't want the cats back. If you wanted to buy a lease out, I bet they'd work with you on the buy out price.max225 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 23, 2018 11:03 amWell you can’t “buy one out” because the residual is “too damn high” and far above the market value.

Awesome car. Would probably just get a new ZR1 for the price though. Of course, I'd be hanging with a golddigger from Hooters and you'd be bagging royalty from a small European principality.Davestr wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 4:38 pm Insane and perfect normally aspirated automotive perfection.

As a 3rd owner of my 335i Fake Sport....
My car needed a new door lock in the front
And it had a sensor changed in the shocks
other than that it was fine... I did 1 oil change I believe... after 13-14k miles it used 0 oil which is ? Can't exactly since I gave exactly 0 fucks and only followed the BMW recommendation.

I haven't driven a sorted e46 yet, the couple I drove had clearly been neglected, but even then they were pretty entertaining and incredibly balanced.
