That would be about $539 per month plus your state % sales tax.
 
You're getting $5675 off MRSP on a 335i??? That's hard to believe. I think I'd jump on that if it's real. I also thought MF of .00175 was still available on '07's. .00325 is pretty high.

'07 335i Coupe 6MT ZSP ZPP MET -- numbers correct? by aongch2
Oct 03, 2007 (10:18 am)
Reply
Here is my quote from an internet sales mgr, CA dealer. I understand that the $4200 sec dep will be tied up to give me that lower MF, but this is just my quote.
  
2007 335i Coupe, 6-spd manual
36 month lease
10,000 miles per year
Residual 61%
$4200.00 refundable security deposits
.00176 (4.224%) money factor, interest rate.
Total drive off $8578.32, includes 1st payment ($600), cap. reduction $3163.41, sales tax $245.16, license,dmv, $369.75, and security deposits of $4200.00.
Selling price $45,700.00
Base payment $556.84
Monthly tax $43.16
Total monthly payment $600.00.
 
Well, one thing was missing here. After calculating using those numbers, the Acquisition or Bank fee turned out to be $825. I think I've figured out the numbers.
   
I'm using the following formula found elsewhere here on the forum (Thank you to the contributor!!).
  
S = Sell price = 45,700.00
A = Acquisition Fee = 825.00
M = Money Factor = 0.00176 (this was lowered by my 4,200 sec deposit, or 7 x 600/mo. I think orig MF was .00200)
N = Term = 36 months
R = Residual = 27,877 (61% x 45,700)
P = Monthly Lease Payment excluding tax
P* = Monthly Lease Payment including tax
t = Sales tax Rate = 7.75%
Down Payment/Cap reduction: $3163.41 (to get the $600/mo incl tax)
Annual Mileage: 10K
Disposition Fee?: NO
Excess Mileage Charge: 0.15 per mile
Sales Tax: Computed on the payment streams
Capitalized Amounts: Acquisition Fee Only
  
Basic Money Factor Formula:
  
Note: Selling price - Cap reduction = $42536.59 = adjusted S
   
P = M(S+A+R)+(S+A-R)/N
   
P = 0.00176(42536.59+825+27877)+(42536.59+825-27877)/36
P = 555.51 (close enough to quote)
   
Tax Formula:
   
P* = P(1+t)
P* = 555.51(1.0775)
P* = 598.56 (close enough to quote)
  
Looks like I'm paying MSRP for this car, to arrive at the $600/mo incl tax. Any room for negotiations, don't know but sure will try to get closer to TMV
  
So, Base MSRP $40,800 plus Options ZSP + ZPP + Met Paint + Dest = $45,700 = stated Selling Price. Not good enough!
  
Anyone have comments on the above, please do chime in? Is it possible to aim at $1000 over invoice in CA for the '07?
 
(Sorry I had this posted in the Paid and Buying Exp. should really belong here)

Not only is it possible to aim at $1000 over for the 07, but you should be able to do better. I got $700 over on mine, with no haggling.
 
Also, your MF is not good. Each additional security deposit should lower your MF by .00007. If you're getting .00176 with 7 securities, it means you started at .00225. The base MF on that car is supposed to be .00200, which would bring your MF down to .00151. (Also, the residual on the Coupe should be 58%, not 61%; that's the sedan).
 
Finally, why the Cap reduction of over $3000?

Perhaps it's harder now to find '07 Coupes with 6MT? But I see a few in stock w/ diff options still available.
 
Latest published BMWFS rates (Sept 07):
 
2007 BMW 335i Coupe
24 Month – Residual 68% of MSRP – .00200 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 58% of MSRP – .00200 Base Rate
 
Strange about that MF. Without sec deposits, the dealer quotes a) MF at .00215 when the acq/bank fee is $825, or b) .00230 when the acq fee is $625. I thought the base is still at .00200 and won't change until Oct 6.
 
Additional cap reduction over the std $2500 was to bring the monthly (incl tax) down to $600.
 
So, at this point the slicing/dicing is still based on full MSRP. Definitely will bring this down. Also sending my #'s to other dealers. Will update later.
