That sounds like a pretty good deal - lower than the Edmunds price in my area. For a little more you can get the sports package which I think looks much better side by side, though. Might want to compare.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who liked Artic Metallic. Don't see a lot of those around. Same goes for Metallic Green and Red.
 
Does anyone know if certain - unpopular - colors are discounted more when negotiating the selling price?

330i Lease Help Please! by stanford06

My local dealer has a 330i that's the exact specs I want however, I think the pricing isn't so great. I'd appreciate if you guys could tell me what you think.
  
The car is a black metallic 330i with the terra leather and includes:
premium
sport
heated seats
i-drive
steptronic
metallic paint
bmw assist
MSRP is $45,420
  
I was at the dealership (Weatherford BMW in Berkleley, CA) for a long time this afternoon and the best terms I could get were:
  
3 years / 15K per yr
Cap Cost: 43,800 (About $500 more than Edmunds TMV)
Money Factor: .00235
Residual: 62%
Driveoff was ~$1900 (includes security deposit)
  
The resulting payment (with 8.25% tax, I think) is $653/mo.
The salesperson said that they NEVER sell cars at the BMW buy rate, which is .00195.
  
I really like this car, but I want to get a decent price and this deal seems less than great.
  
This is my first lease (as well as my first real car) and I'd appreciate some advice.
  
Anyone know where to go in the SF Bay Area where I can get a decent deal?
  
Thanks!

Delayed Coupes by stanford06
Jul 28, 2006 (12:58 am)

Today I spoke with a BMW salesperson about the upcoming 328i and 335i coupes.
 
He said that for the coupe's nav system, BMW is going to include real-time traffic updates.
 
The updated system is causing a delay in all coupes equipped with iDrive. He said coupes sans iDrive would be in dealerships in late September/early October, but iDrive equipped coupes would not be available until late November/early December!
 
I called another dealership, whose salesperson couldn't confirm this, but mentioned that he had heard something about a delay on the real-time traffic feature on the 6 Series cars. Yet another dealer confirmed that all the coupes he had available in his first shipment would be without iDrive.
 
It's unfortunate bceause I love the new coupe but I really really want factory navigation.

The selling price is good... but, they are making it up in the lease numbers...
 
The base money factor without a security deposit is .00265, so that is marked up... and the base acquisition fee is $625, so that is bumped up the maximum..
 
Using the base MF and acquisition fee, the payment would drop by about $19/mo.
 
Making a security deposit of $550 (refundable at end of lease), would drop the payment another $9/mo.
 
regards,
kyfdx
