My Ride: 2011 M3 Convertible, Alpine White/black, 6 speed
2011 535xi Tasmin Green, Venetian Beige
Okay, I love my 550i but it's time to move on. When my lease ends in August I will be moving into a brand new M3 Convertible with every conceivable option (except of course DCT; want to get back into a stick). After much deliberation I am going with white/black extended leather. For those of you who know me, or have just read my sig, I had 2 convertibles prior to leasing my '06 550i and miss the ride quite a bit. BMW has made the lease deal more then attractive this month so I couldn't resist jumping in. Of course, if any of you are interested and haven't heard, the 2 year residual on the 2011 M3 Convertible is currently 70% @ 15K making it a down right bargain for anyone who's interested. Actually 4 other client advisors here have either leased or ordered them for themselves this month. I want to reassure all of you that I will still be an active participant on this board if, for no other reason then to see how much more carbon fiber member Pole Position can load on his car =) Please don't treat me as an outsider and I promise that I will borrow an F10 from my dealership to drive to any and all events that happen to take place on a Sunday since my dealership has my dance card well filled for the rest of the weekend.

Holy crap - that's a phenomenal residual! That M3 deal prompted me to look at the other May residuals and it looks there are some SMOKING deals to be had.

Nice ride...congrats...lease conditions are sooo much better with you guys...An M3 conv will set you back at least 1700,- EUR per month here and that is with the lowest mileage possible..
