M4 2016 Residual changes, color options

[dowdlemj]

I've been waiting for 2016, as SO was my fav color and they pulled them around the time I started seriously looking. As we're getting closer to pricing for the 2016s I'm hearing more and more about significantly lowered residuals. Planning on leasing so with that in mind, I'm curious people's thoughts on two things:

First, what has BMW done historically w/ residual values on new model years with very little change (as the M4 is expected to have this year)

Second, does anyone know of a 2015 order going in recently (like in the last month) where SO was a special request? and what was the result?

Thanks in advance!

As far as I can tell, currently BMW doesn't accept any more Individual exterior color for M4. Some of the forum members individual even got pushed back from June to Sept which becomes 2016 model year ( and there is also speculation that SO will return in 2016 model year)
