Ordered 07 vs 08

[TheX5]

My 07 3.0si X5 is scheduled for completion next week, about the same time the 08 pricing comes out. I am going to be very interested to see the pricing on the 08 vs the 07. I am curious if, for example, they keep the pricing the same even though it looks like comfort access will be included in the Premium package (i.e. Wil we see a 1K savings or will we see the Premium getting increased by 1K to offset the inclusion of comfort access).

Also very curious to see if lease residuals will remain the same. (I believe I was quoted 68% for a 2yr & 58% for a 3yr, but don't have the numbers handy to confirm)

I am for sure going to chat with the dealer about cutting the price on my 07 and depending on what is new might very well just order an 08 instead of the 07.

Wondering if anyone else is in the same position I am in and what their (or anyone elses) thoughts are

I'm in the same situation although my 07 E70 is due to arrive in 10 days. I can always pass on the 07 and order the 08 since there are people lined up to get a fully loaded E70.The only problem is my existing lease is up in October and I'm already over the miles. I need my E70 now and cannot wait for another 2 months. The residual on the 08 should be better but it is offset with the higher cap cost, meaning I will probably not get the almost $3000 discount on my 07 than the 08. If I have the choice, I would probably wait for the 08 but my situation does not allow me to. Good luck.
