ATLWoman, I purchased from Nalley BMW in Decatur and my salesman was awesome. You can contact me if you want more info since I can't post my salesman's name here... I custom ordered my X3 and took delivery at the Performance Center, which I highly recommend. |

I have been quoted invoice for an X3 3.0 with mat. paint, premium pkg, xenon, heated seats, automatic, upgraded sound system, and the cargo net. I have never leased before and this is the quote they gave me: $5000 drive off 61% residual 39 months/12000 miles mf of .0013(i think) total payments including tax, $430 Is that good or can I do better? What is the most important factor in a lease? Thank you and have a great day!

Replying to: mitchgirl (Aug 23, 2004 2:08 am) 2) We need the MSRP and the sale price to tell you how good of a deal you are getting. It looks like they might be bumping up the MF, since the base MF is .00095 3) I'm guessing they are marking up the acquisition fee also. The base fee is $525 and they can mark it up $200 over that.. 4) A big downpayment can hide a lot of extra fees and charges.. Of course, if they are really giving you the car at invoice, then they have to make money somewhere. regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 23, 2004 7:04 am) Thanks for the quick reply. MSRP: 46,380 (maco, training, delivery and floor mats incl) Selling: 42,830. What types of extra fees and charges should I be on the look-out for? Thanks a bundle!!! Mitchgirl |

Replying to: mitchgirl (Aug 23, 2004 9:26 am) MSRP $46,830 CAP COST $43,355 (selling price plus $525 Acquisition fee) MF .0013 Residual 61% 39 monthly payments  485.15 + 8.75%tax(?) = $527.60/month Drive-offs: 1st pymt (527.60) + security deposit ($550) + state title/registration fees ($300-$500?) 2) I built your car with the options you specified and only come up with $44,170.. Either yours has some big options you left out (sport package, navigation?), or the dealer is playing around with the numbers. Is that $46,380 the bottom line on the official sticker? regards, kyfdx P.S.: The marked up MF costs you about $25/month extra.

Well I have had quite a change of events and I will recap it on the final sale tomorrow on the lease. Did I see correctly that the rate factor is now .00095 verses the .0011? Two, the two X3 2.5 I am looking at the only difference is between one has the heated seats only (not CW package) with black leatherette verses the other has cold weather option in sand leatherette, plus a delivery charge of $575 (coming 1000 miles to me). All being equal it is personal preference I know, but is the added power wash on the lights and the ski bag worth it in the CW with an additional $575? I do live in the Rocky Mountains. I didn't get a chance to see a sand interior with black saphirre so don't know if I like that or the black interior. Some say the black is too dark. Just looking for another opinion. I know a petty question, but just struggling with a final choice since the car I had was sold before I could close. |

I am looking at leasing a 2004 X3 2.5 auto with/Prem., Cold Weather, & leather. It has an MSRP of 38270, invoice of 35105, and the lease quote of 399.00 plus tax (acq fee upon delivery and no down). I am waiting to get the rest of the specifics, but based on recent posts what is the current MF for this X3. I thought the MF was lower on the X3 3.0. Looking in the New England area. Any information will help as I will try to finalize this week.
