I would attribute part of that drop to the changes in the lease deals from last year to this year.. This year they are good... Last year they were stupid good...
 
The rest you can put on the rise in gas prices, I guess...
 
They don't have any dealer cash on the X3s, but they do have 0.9% financing for 60 months... That equates to about an extra 10% off, compared to market rates..

Yeah, I was talking about the X5 3.0 vs the X3 as far as MPG's. The extra weight the X5 carries vs the X3 would definitely be noticeable 0-60, but that's not a huge concern since my A4 2.0T and Miata don't exactly scream off the line. Despite the fact that sales are down vs last year, there still seem to be about a 2-3:1 ratio of X5's vs. X3's on lots.

'They don't have any dealer cash on the X3s,..."
 
They do up here in Canada....up to $4500, although that may be more to address the high Canadian $.

I just think SUVs in general, are a dying genre. First the minivan, now the SUV. Probably several factors. One, trends always come and go in cycles; two, the high gas prices, and three, the aging baby-boomers and more and more empty-nesters. Not many people need a bulky SUV anymore. Its just not as cool anymore. You think Hummer owners are getting envious looks?

Used '07 X3 by waltermm

I'm looking at a used '07 X3, Premium package, with 15k miles. It's a BMW buy back from a first owner. The problem was a bad ESC and has been corrected. The best deal the dealer will offer is $26.9k plus $ $350 dealer fee. Is this a reasonable deal ? Should I look further ? Are there any particular problems with the '07 model year ? Thanks, Walter

Hey waltermm,
 
I think that is a great deal. They are going for approximately 31k or more w/ comparable mileage here in NJ. Where are you getting this deal.

09 lease terms by speedracer8

Today I was quoted a lease on an 09 X3. 15k miles/year. Interest rate 4.8%. Residual only 60% - that seems very low to me, in the past I know BMWs have had mid 60s. The sales guy said residuals are down this year for every co. Yeah maybe American cos. (some of which are stopping leases altogether), but this is BMW. Are other people getting such low residual values on X3s now?

That doesn't sound like a good lease deal to me. At 60% residual, interest rate better be down to no more than 2.9%.
