Just an issue :
European prices for F10 are out: in france, expect at least 1200? (1600?) price increase from E60
Just came back from the states: expected prices for 535i and 550i are down by more than 900 USD
Is this global economics ?

Sounds like a real-world example of the USD strengthening against the euro in the short- and intermediate-term. The situation in Greece isn't really helping the euro. Long term, I would guess both currencies will lose strength, along with the pound, against currencies of countries with sound fiscal policies and low inflation with government debt levels under control.

Just my opinion, but I would also guess that taxes and fees may be higher in Europe than in the USA at this time as well.

And even more confusing: the residuals and money factors are BETTER on the F10 leases than the leases for the outgoing E60s (albeit without the $5K and $6K factory to dealer cash.
