Hi, the sales price looks high as you are paying just about $1000 less than MSRP. The wagon is rarer but for a 2007 (sure it isn`t a 2008 if ordered now - unless from inventory) I would expect around $1000 above invoice. Also I am from NC, you only pay tax on the lease payments and the money you put down so I don`t see why you are paying almsot $1200 upfront.
 
My 2007 328i sedan 36 months, 15K a year is $466 a year and had a similar sales price. I bought from Leith BMW in Raleigh, where in NC are you?

I am considering a lease on a new 2007 335i sedan. They are offering a 2 year lease at 526/mo with 3976 down which includes 1000 cap cost reduction, taxes and 1st payment. They say the residual is 73% and a 0.00175 mf. Suggested Retail is 44,595. The negotiated price is 43,000 for:
2007 335i Sedan / Metallic/ Leather/Cold/Premium/AT
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

07 335 xi by getz

07 335xi sport/premium/cold weather/ipod package/automatic trans/metallic paint
2000 down
1750 off sticker (approx 49k)
money factor of 0.0019
3 yr 30k lease approx 635 mo with taxes included.
   
  For those looking, the 335i leases out better than the xi with a buyrate of 0.00175 and same residual, even better rates on coupes....especially the 328's.
 
   FYI for those that have a tough time negotiating, a costco membership gets at least $1500 off sticker, and try and stay firm on the money factor at 0.0019 ("buyrate"). When leasing, raising the finance rates is probably the single most common way of inflating your payments. Sure, they'll sell you the car at 2k off the sticker, but they'll tack on the maximum allowable percentage to the money factor (0.0004).
   
 If there were 2 options that I would consider a must have, it would be the ipod package, and the sports package, everything else is gravy. I'm also sure that those in bigger markets can get a much better deal then I recieved, however I would hurry as the 07s are moving well with the discounted lease reates.
 
Cheers,
Getz
 
P.S.
I can't express how much I love the ipod package (option 6FL). Make sure they give you the USB cable at no cost, as you already bought it!)
(edited for spelling)

'08 328i convertible lease question by jaxbimmer
Sep 19, 2007 (2:36 pm)
Reply
My dealer wants me to put deposit on 08 328i convertible. I asked him about leasing and he said the dealership usually marks up the MF rate by .002. Does this mean I should calculate on a 24 month lease a MF of .00330? (per september MF rates)
 
Can someone tell me if I have done the correct calculations:
 
'08 328i Convertible MSRP $47,395 same price to buy since they won't negotiate
24 month lease, 12k miles a year, 75% residual, .00330 MF I come up with:
 
$47,395-$35546= $11,849/24= $493
$47,395+$35,546=$82,941x.00330=$273
 
$493+$273= $766 + tax per month
 
thanks for any help
