I'm pretty sure at the time the M50i was the same or more than the sDrive40i (I recall $2,750). That could be what's making the March program better to use vs. June.

Assuming it was actually $2,750 total rebates, that's $250 more in rebates than this month + 1% higher residual ($910 based on your MSRP), giving you about $1,160 more towards your deal. That would then offset the 0.00024 MF difference and net you a slightly better deal by using the March program (a few dollars by my math). I'm not counting the USAA rebate in either scenario.
You were right about the rebates in March. It feels like March was a lifetime ago when I ordered the vehicle. There was a $1000 lease credit, $1250 loyalty, and I have an additional $500 for USAA.

For the June programs, the dealer is saying lease credit for M50i is $1000, not $1500. I saw you posted that the Lease credit for a 2020 M50i for June is $1,500 and loyalty is $1,000 (total of $2,500). Are these regional? I'm trying to figure this out today because I'm planning to pick the vehicle up tomorrow afternoon.
I'm going based on Jason's post on the first page of this thread. Perhaps someone who has picked up an M50i this month can chime in? Not sure if rebates are regional or not — I always thought it's the same across the board for all US customers.
