Is there a hint that any other manufacturer is thinking of building a small, quick, great-handling, well-built car? Probably not, because Americans are clammoring for big crossovers and pickups, not small, quick, great-handling, well-built cars.I don’t really understand why bmw made the residual value so low unless it was to make the numbers work whether you opt to buyout or not. If you don’t do the buyout you aren’t seeing much of the 7500. If you do the buyout you have to sell it to realize the 7500. The big question is what these cars will be worth in three years.will they be worth more or less than 22500
