A 335i without the sport package has all-season tires, traction control and stability control.. Can you get home on snow covered roads? Certainly. Will you have the traction and winter capability that you had on winter tires? No way. But, then again, most people drive on all-season tires, year round. You can certainly get by.
 
I'm not buying the car, but I'd rather have RWD, and a set of snow tires. You've been doing it.. why quit now? (or are you running without snows?)
 
Also, the money factor is better on the 328i sedan... .0014 vs. .0019 for the 328Xi, with both vehicles having the same residual. Comparably equipped, the 328i should be about $50/mo. less than the 328Xi.
 
You didn't specify the MSRP of the car you are interested in, but the numbers don't seem too far off. I'm not familiar with the 30 month residuals, though, so I hesitate to make an off-the-cuff assessment of your deal.
 
regards,
kyfdx

It's hard to say how good your deal is, because we have no idea how much the dealer has to eat on your lease turn-in, due to condition and mileage charges.
 
The difference between what you want, and what they are offering is about $4000. It is doubtful that the dealer left that much room to bargain down.
 
What will it cost you to just turn your car in? Once you have that number, then you'll know where you are starting from.

For incentivized lease rates, BMWFS uses a pass/fail system. What score that requires, or who they use, I don't know.
 
For vehicles that don't have money factor incentives (M-cars, 6-series, etc.), the base money factor for the top tier is .0032.
 
Again, I have no idea what it takes to qualify for that.

Got 2K off MSRP on a new 328 by pearl

did all the math using bimmerfest info, etc, plus talking to others and I am happy. May be better deals available for U.S. delivery, but my experience was totally hassle free and I am satisfied.

700 over invoice by thefilmmaking

Just placed an order for 328 coupe in Los Angeles, details follow:
 
MET Metallic Paint
609 On-Board Navigation System
205 6-Speed STEPTRONIC Automatic Transmission
459 8-Way Power Front Seats
322 Comfort Access
 
Here are the numbers on the 36 month lease:
MSRP: $41,420
Cap Cost: $38,860 (700 over invoice)
Actual Cap Cost (Including MACO and training fee): $39,420
Money Factor: 0.00116 (with 7 SD's)
Residual: %61
 
Total out of pocket (not including SD's): $1500 (so its about $520 cap cost reduction, while $980 are fees and whatnot).
 
Now, my monthly payment including California sales tax (%8.25) is $509.11 BUT when I calculate it on paper, I get $500.67, not even including the cap cost reduction.
What am I doing wrong?
 
I know this is a great deal and I already signed, but the $9 more a month is confusing me since those are the actual numbers.

"Infiniti and Audi also have a similar plan. I think Lexus does, as well, but I'm not certain about that."
 
Yes, Lexus has it also and limited to 9 deposit. I used it for an 02 LS and 02 SC and saved 100 or so a month in both cases (including tax and finance charge).

Big difference between a sedan and a convertible.... $1200 off isn't unusual.. they've only been out a month or so..
