Those who can afford one, will be driving one. The "pretenders" can go back to leasing a Honda Accord. Their bubble has finally burst. Natural selection has finally come to BMW and I for one am glad of it.

Hi all, Hoping someone reads this forum  My lease on a 328xi is ending rather shortly and I have the opportunity to lease an '08 135i *at invoice* (inc. premium, cold weather, auto tranny, metallic paint, and dest charge). The MSRP is 41,600. I will not be putting down any money up front beyond first month, acq. fee, and license/reg. The dealer quoted me a 56% residual and .003 money factor for 36 months/10k per year. Does this sound right? I've been trying to find some current info, but the 1-series forums seem rather dead. Thanks. --Tennberg

Replying to: tennberg (Nov 19, 2008 7:18 pm) The base rate on the 135 for 36 months is .00285. Just so you are aware, for a 3yr/30k lease on a 335i sedan, they are currently offering a 63% residual and .00175 base rate money factor. The coupe is 61% and .00200. In other words, the 135 is still not a good deal when leasing. |

Replying to: hpowders (Oct 12, 2008 6:10 am) hpowders, you've mentioned the "reliable inline six" several times. You do know that all 1series and 3 series (except the M3) are inline sixes, right? Just that the x35 are twin turbo versus the non-turbo. Just curious what is meant by "the reliable inline six". Are you meaning the non-turbo inline 6? ...and both are 3.0 liters so lets let's not start talking engine size either!
