Nope. When I leased my 2017 M240 for 3 years the residual was 63% if my memory serves me correctly. It's very odd considering the exceedingly high prices of used cars right now. Maybe the big manufacturers know something is coming in the next few years that will tank future values??

Residuals have been low on BMWs since 2020, at least.
but i thought the residual value is supposed to be set to what's the estimated price of the car at the end of the lease.
if a car holds its value well, then lease payments should be lower than otherwise since the depreciation is less.
Let me reiterate...
Lease programs are often not indicative of the used car market, at large.
I'm not saying you're wrong, just that the marketing folks and bean counters may not see it the same way, when they set up the programs.
For a long time, residual values were artificially inflated, causing low payments.
However, at the end of those leases, the cars were worth far less than the residual value, and the bank lost money when they sold those cars on the open market.
Banks, as you can imagine, don't like losing money, so the residuals got adjusted accordingly.
Are they 100% reflective of the expected value at lease end. Nope.
You also have the choice to not lease, and purchase instead.
My primary care physician wanted to get an E-Class for his wife a couple of years back; he had me run the numbers, and a 5 or 6 year loan payment was actually less than the 3 year lease payment.

The programs are generally set to achieve a specific payment for the MSRP, and to make money for the bank (BMWFS, in this case).

seems like the pendulum swung a lil too far the other way and that "the house must win" on both the lease and afterwards.
