2003 X5 3.0 lease expiring: Thoughts?

[skarletknite]

Hi everyone, i'm new here. great posts on the 2007 x5, which leads me to my question: buy out my 2003 lease that is expiring (in 28 days) and hold out for the 2007? or - buy an 06 now? i know normally resale values deteriorate once a new line is introduced...stuck on this one. any thoughts?

I wouldn't want to be one of the early adopters of an all-new '07 model. It would be safer to wait a year.

Since you have already leased, lease an '06, so the residual is BMW's problem.

Just my $0.02.

thanks for the input! i was trying to avoid the lease, however, since it locks me into 30+ months, and i get hit with the finance charges (even though bmw gets the resid when its thru) that's why i was thinking of buying out my lease, as my x5 only has 26k miles on it...
