Hi all, I am looking for a dealer who'll lease using the BMWFS base rates. In general, is this something I'll have to negotiate with any BMW dealer or will I be able to get the base numbers from the start at certain dealers? I would prefer to not have to haggle of the financing terms and just over the selling price (and in my case my trade-in value). Any ideas? I am in Indiana, and I've contacted 3 'local' dealers, 3 answered my lease quote request and all 3 padded the base rates for back end profit. I am willing to travel so if you know of any specific dealers let me know. I tried Sam Swope in Louisville, KY through email, but no reply. Thanks, mabubba

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 15, 2005 7:45 am) kyfdx-Thanks. let me see if I know how to put the salex tax for Texas correctly then. Here are my new calculations- MSRP is $40,340. Negotiated price is $34,000. -MSRP= $40,340 -residual  54% = $40,340 x 0.54 = $21,783 -Monthly depreciation fee= (34,000-21,783)/36 = $339 -Monthly finance charge=(34K + 21,783)x 0.00225= $125. -Sales tax(Texas 6.25% of 34,000)= $2125 -Sales tax per month = $2125/36= $59 -Total monthy payment = $339 + $125 + $59 = $523 Is this correct now? Thanks. AMT-

Thinking of purchasing a 330xi and would like to know whether this deal is ok. Cold Weather Automatic Leatherette Xenon = $35,700 + ttl Also, KYFDX, you said you recently drove a 330xi and weren't impressed . . . care to elaborate? Last question, are there any people over six feet tall who began feeling cramped after several weeks/months in the car - can you tell I've only driven SUV's;)? Many thanks. |

Replying to: 330xi05 (Mar 15, 2005 6:59 pm) As for size I am Well under 6'0 and also have a Yukon.I can tell you the 5 feels much more comfortable.. depending on your needs, budget ect.. The 06 appears its going to have a 1700-1800 increase. That is of course speculation, also unknown is the content. I think pricing may be released 03/23 or is it 04/23 ? Good luck, DL

Replying to: 330xi05 (Mar 15, 2005 6:59 pm) 2) I have a 325i with sport package and automatic. Don't get me wrong.. the 330xi is still a great car, but it sits about 1.5" higher than mine, and just doesn't handle the same.. I guess I thought it would be faster also, but maybe the extra weight holds it back.. Also, the one I drove was a loaner, so it may have had a lot of regular gas vs. premium.. Don't worry about my impressions, though... I won't be driving yours.... 3) I'm 6'... Even though it is a little harder to get in and out of than an SUV, I find that with the myriad seat adjustments on the power seat, that I have more head and leg room than in any other vehicle... I put my seat all the way back in a lot of vehicles, but not even close to that in the 325i. regards, kyfdx |

The 330i I am interested has 220 miles on it (about 20 of those I drove). How can I tell if the model is 2004 or 2005? The dealer mentioned 2005, but I want to make sure. THanks.
