Sound like a good deal but do some research on KBB to see how much they're going for..

Just go to a mb dealer and check their prices on the pre owned market.

Sounds about the going rate. If it where lowered by at least $5K then let the deals begin.

I'd say this is an okay, not great deal. Would push to buy a few $k lower.

PM me if you want more data but best way to gauge this is request the latest Manheim data on 2007s. In April the auction pricing averaged $49-50k for an 07 that had 22k miles on average (ie this is wholesale so you'd have to add some transport costs and dealer mark-up on top of this).

Sometimes the dealers / finance cos are irrational. I tried to buy our 550i that was off lease for what I thought was reasonable...and that's how I ended up looking at e63s.

The initial offers from MB Financial came out on May 4th for leases that were maturing within a few months. These offers were at a discount from the original residual amount. The personnel at MB Financial have indicated that another offer will come out in another month or June 4th.
