It's all just a game that BMW is playing and any nice cash incentives are usually matched with lower residuals. For example, I was looking at last year's holiday incentives (Dec 2012). The incentives were $1k+ on all cars, but the residuals were much lower in the 58% range which actually makes these May numbers a lot better even though there are no cash incentives. I guess we'll see if the residuals drop back down to these levels this fall once the cash incentives presumably come back.
