There is no room for negotation with a RV which is set by bmw financial services. The only thing you can negotiate is the cap cost of the vehicle which people usually aim for invoice price.
As far as where to park your money I have no clue where you live, what your portfolio looks like, which business you are in etc. There are multiple ways to utilize that much money over 3 years varying from mutual funds, money markets, currency, investment in your own business, lending the money out -there is no blanket way to make x amount of profit obviously or everyone would do it. Its dependent on your situation.
You can do as you please, its your money, but I am trying to inform others who may be persuaded by this lower lease payment that it really is not the best use of money.
Always consider why bmw is letting you utilize such a tool? Because its profitable to them with the ability to use your money for 3 years for their own investments and still give you a discount on your MF. So why not make the entire profit yourself instead of bmw taking acut of the profit from the invested money. Doesnt make sense.
With all that said the MF must be high on the 550i's right now as that is a high lease payment for that cap cost.

Again, it would be great if you would kindly provide specific examples of the investments that meet the foregoing criteria - I'd be happy to cancel my MSDs and invest accordingly.

I ordered the car in April (with the awfully low residual), but since I'm not taking delivery until the end of the month, have not finalized the deal with my CA. I'll have him re-run the numbers with the higher May residuals, and hopefully will get a cheaper lease!

Obviously, you should not take financial advise from anyone who thinks money market accounts are savy investments.

It's not the MF that's killing me - with MSD, it's actually quite reasonable, but it's the awfully low residual.
