Any idea what kind of price they're doing for 08 335 right now? Trying to find an 07 CPO, but thought with the financing difference, might work out to get a new 08 335 with lower interest rate. Any idea how much they're willing to come off the 2008s?

There's a used 2007 335i loaded to the gills at Crevier for 29k. You can't sniff a new 08 335i for under less than 38-39k.

My local dealer has an '07 E92 335i manual with 18K miles and every option but navigation; I think I could get it for $30K-$32K.

low miles - that's a nice deal. I figure if they're showing 29k, 27k should be possible on this 335i. Too bad it's red.

Red is a good color, or you can get black or silver and be like the other 64% of BMW owners. 33% of 2008 BMWs were silver and 31% of 2008 BMWs were black according to BMW. So be unique and get red.

2009 328i vs 2008 335i by Scorpio77

Hi,
 
Would really appreciate some help on this. Looking to lease a 2009 328i - 36 months. 10k per month. features - premium package, ipod, 17' vspoke wheels. MSRP - 41050.
 
Now I was willing to pay upto 3000 cash down (cap reduction). Using (7+1) MSRDs to reduce my MF the dealer is quoting me $337+tax. With all the fees (bank fees - 725, doc fees-249, registration-262) to be paid upfront.
 
Now is this a good deal?
 
Also I can get a 2008 335i with same features for $320+tax (again all the fees paid upfront). Which one should I go for ? and please tell me if this is a good lease or not. Thanks

As of today's there's supposedly $1500 trunk money on the 2009 and 2008 3 series cars. You can get that payment even lower - the car should have a cap cost 1k below invoice. Doc fees are outrageous. $50-100 is okay but $250!

Thanks for the reply. I agree the doc fees were very high. Is there a spreadsheet or a way I can calculate the monthly lease myself.
 
Also assuming everything else being same what would you go for: 2008 335i or 2009 328i (i can get the 2008 335i probably $15-$20 cheaper).
 
Finally what is the difference between the invoice and the MSRP price? Is it a fixed number in the range of $2700? I heard about that 1500 discount as well. Does it come off the purchase price ? Thanks

The 328 v 335 debate is for you to determine. I'm not terribly impressed by the 335i but I do like some of the standard equipment (xenons for instance). But the extra weight of the 335i makes me less responsive to it - mind you I've only driven automatic versions.
 
Invoice and MSRP varies. For 2008s there's an automatic transmission credit and the rebate, so you should be able to get an auto-equipped 3 series for about 6k below msrp.
 
Here are the current lease numbers for 2008s - http://bimmerfest.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=170612&d=1230743887
 
This is before the new 1500 credit. So if you're into an auto equipped 335i, you can get the auto credit of 1260 and 1500 rebate with a 0.00085 money factor. It's 0.00075 with 08 328is.
 
Here's a link for a great lease calculator:
http://leaseguide.com/calc.htm
 
edmunds TMV works fine for 08s and last I checked is a tad off for 09s. Still with a 335 if you're getting a cap that's about 6k below MSRP you're fine. On a 328, it's more like 5500.

Many thanks for the prompt reply and the links. I spent some time figuring those out and this is what i am aiming for :
 
2008 335i sedan: MSRP (44650)
Total Discount: 7000
Cap cost: 37650
Cash Down: 0
Residual value: 60% (36 month lease with 10k miles)
MF factor: 0.00085
Reduced MF factor: 0.00040 (due to 8 MSDs I will make) which I think is the lowest possible
Sales tax: 7%
 
Monthly Payment: $377 per month incld tax (this is what i calculated)
Upfront payment: 8MSD of 400 (3200) + 725 (bank fees) + 100( doc fees) + 250 (registration) = $4275.
 
This is all my calculation. Please tell me if this is a good deal or not? Is there anything I am missing here?
 
I plan to close it tomorrow!! Many thanks in advance.
