You can forget about leasing an M3/M4 for at least 1-1.5 years unless you are extremely stupid in your finances and want the M badge so badly.

The leases on M cars have been like this since the beginning of time. My M3 is fully loaded with every option including rear sun shade and my payment is 850/month. When I was signing the papers, there was a guy who was returning his lease, he had a 2008 M3, one of the first ones, his monthly was 1100/month and he didn't have nowhere near as many options (plus there werent as many options back then to begin with like competition package or bluetooth integration). Same thing with E60 and F10 M5. That should tell you how lease rates are at the beginning.

8k increase over the current msrp of 2013s is EXTREMELY unlikely.
