here is the lease deal i was offered today - it is a 2009 demo being offered:
 
it is a 328 i coupe.
premium package
sport package
steptronic
heated seats
park distance control
ipod adapter
 
it is a $45,350 car. it does have 9500 miles on it but that doesn't matter much to me because i am leasing it and it will be covered for maint., etc. throughout the lease.
 
i am getting it for $1930 upfront and $450/month. seems like a good deal.
 
what do you guys think?

Thanks to everyone that took the time to give advice. Went in today and picked up a 36 month lease on an 335xdrive sedan in NJ. Got black/black, auto/cold, and went with bmw assist/bluetooth and the ipod adapter instead of prem package. Car is beautiful with 12 miles on it. Nothing down except first month and registration fees, and got away for <$600 a month, which was our goal. Dealer even picked up the last payment on our 330xi, and threw in mats and some key chains I will admit, I was surprised - the 335 sedan money factors this month are terrible so I didn't think it would work, but with the options rebate and the lease incentive from bmw we got our price. Gook luck to anyone else that is looking.

Sure seems good on the surface.. What is the term and mileage allowance? Does that include a security deposit?

the term is 36 months. the mileage is 10K per year.
 
the car was $45,350 MSRP and is now listed as $37,588 due to the demo mileage.
seems like a good deal but i am just not sure if i will bite. i currently have deposit on it (refundable)

Has anyone had experience of buying out the lease of their 3-series recently?
 
I have an 2006, 325i with 17,000 miles. Only option is the Auto transmission. My lease will end Sept of 2009, with buyout price of $21,400.00. I have searched this site and most state to negotiate with BMWFS, and not the dealer.
 
I am at 94123 zip code (San Francisco). I have seen similar advertised 325i around $18,500 to $20,800 range around the Bay area.
 
I would appreciate any input in regards to the process and what price to expect.
 
Thanks..

'nonsense ads' by BMW dealer - by mark_wny

I don't know if this has been raised elsewhere in the forum. The BMW is a fine car and my local dealership appears to be a fine company. However, I am troubled by their newspaper ads, which regularly include figures and computations that don't add up. These have been repeated over many weeks, in many publications. They seem to be impervious and defiant about it - and those are not traits I want to have in my car dealer. Any feedback from others around the country?

I'd be interested in reading the details of the ad you are referring to.

Here is lease info, verbatim:
 
Total due at signing includes $400 refundable security deposit, $379.99 first payment + $3200 cash down - $1000 rebate = $925 acq fee + 1539.97 sales tax + $217.50 reg = $5639.96 due at lease signing.
 
Broz, I've forgotten most of what I learned in 2nd grade - but not everything.
When adding a simple sum with a single answer, you can't have 2 equal signs in the same computation. Even if that is corrected to a plus sign, the sum given is incorrect. Also, in the graphic at the top of the ad, the mo. payment is given as 379 - not 379.99.
 
Truth is, I'm probably going to get an Accord anyway; I have no stake in this. Just the fact that these things run over and over, with no attempt at correction, bugs the
h--- out of me.
