Best BMW Lease Deals to Watch in Early 2026

555 Editorial · 5/29/2026

BMW's 2025-end allocations created an unusually generous lease window heading into 2026. The X5 xDrive40i is leading the pack at $749/mo with $3,995 due at signing through April. The i4 M50 — an EV most people underestimate — qualifies for both federal incentive pass-through and BMW Loyalty, stacking to roughly $4,200 in total support.

Watch the M850i if you want statement luxury: residuals are holding above 58% on 36/10K leases, which keeps the payment competitive against a Mercedes-AMG GT 53. Talk to your broker before April 30th — these residuals reset quarterly.
