thanks GG. I think the 4 series is pretty sharp from the pics I have seen. Definitely a totally different vehicle from what I have now, which I have thoroughly enjoyed btw.
 
Agree on the A5. Styling is obviously subjective but I think that is one of the best looking cars on the road at any $ amount. If only that roof slid back it would be a no brainer!
 
S4 would be awesome. I would like to try to keep the next vehicle under 45k which I couldn't do with an S4 or a convertible BMW or Audi.

#11836 of 11922 European Delivery Lease by bmulder1

Mar 15, 2013 (8:36 am)

Hi all,
 
I am new to this forum and pretty inexperienced in leasing cars. I am interested in doing a European Delivery on a 328i lease, 36 mos/12k year. Base MSRP is $36,850 - total with options is $44,970. My understanding is that BMW will give 7% discount on the base MSRP, not the options and that destination handling fee is waived. I am willing to put $5k down. Sales tax in NJ is 7%. Does anyone know what my total monthly payments should be? I am getting some quotes that are all over the place..
 
Thx.

BMW has some incredible deals right now on the coupe and convertible as they want to move them out before the 4 series arrive. A friend of mine in Atlanta just leased a 2013 335i convertible fully loaded there is 2350 cash back on them right now, and the MF is pretty low with a high residual, so this makes a perfect combo..
 
I love the A5, however for the price, I think the a 4 cyl isn't right engine..

I am not a very experienced in leasing. But thanks to friends on this forum one thing I learnt is we shouldn't do any down payment in lease. Instead security deposit is an option in which your lease per month will come down and will get money back at end of lease.

#11839 of 11922 Lease 328i by fer1

Hello Everybody,
 
I'm trying to lease a 328i (manual, metallic paint, HK & BMW assist); MSRP 39,820.
Every dealer in So. Fl. is charging a "Dealer Fee" around $599-699 and the discount I'm getting is around 1200-1500 (rebates are on top of these ones).
 
They are very firm about Dealer Fees so I'm trying to increase the discount, what would be a reasonable value? (invoice seems to be 3k below MSRP)
 
And also if a negotiate a good deal, and we order the car (manual gear is a killer here), what happens if when they are ready for delivery conditions are better (residual, money factors or rebates), do they usually honor them?
 
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Fernando

au.....$45k would net a CTS coupe. I test drove one a year or so, ago. Pretty good car for the money if you like the style.
 
As FN pointed out, the BMW E92 coupe is still on dealer lots and BMW is cutting some sweet deals on the. IMHO, the E series is better than the new F series.
 
Good luck...let us know how it goes!

Fernando.....make your offer "all inclusive".....taxes, fees, everything.
 
How the dealership divides the dollars shouldn't be a concern to you. If they want to pull some of your out of pocket for the "fees", that's up to them.
 
In short, make one offer, all in, and ask them to accept or reject it. If they reject it, go to another dealer. If they accept it, you just leased a car.
 
Might want to look at some of the Edmunds tools....

Thanks. I may very well give the CTS a drive. I have plenty of time before my current lease expires.
 
Very interested in the 4 Series but like many others I'll have a doubt about the F series until I drive it.
