So 52% residual on a 30k/36m contract. That's not anywhere near as good as most BMW leases, but not much different than a lease from Audi.
I think the thing to keep in mind is that this car will probably resell pretty well after the production ends. It could be a car to keep - and the buyout would be actually low enough to make that a decent move.
It is almost always a better deal to buy from the beginning if you plan to keep, but leasing does minimize certain risks that a purchase would compound. If your intent is to keep the car for 36m before the next best thing, then I agree that these residuals suck.
I wonder how bad the 24m lease residuals are and if it would make sense for someone to do a 36m lease and trade in early. I am 100% sure that any dealer would jump on a low mileage two year old M2. And put you into an LCI M2.
