Hi guru. I am personally not all that familiar with what the market is like for the 335i Coupe in your area, but if I was in the market for this car I personally would want more than a $1,000 discount on it. Try stopping by the "BMW 3-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar vehicles lately.
 
Also, the money factor that you were quoted for this car looks too high. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate for the 2008 335i Coupe is .00235. Subtract .00007 from this for every additional security deposit that you want to make to arrive at this car's true buy rate and make sure that the dealer that you are working with uses it to calculate your monthly payment.

First time BMW leaser by angrymofo
Nov 07, 2007 (11:15 am)

Hi all,
 
I'm planning to lease a 2008 BMW 328 (24months/12K, residual 73%) in Los Angeles and have the following questions:
 
Is the bank fee the same as the acquisition fee and can it be waived?
I was offered a money factor of 0.0018. Is this reasonable?
What would be the disadvantage of paying 1 security deposit? Do they try to keep it at the end?
 
I've been quoted 380 for MACO and 180 for dealer training. Is there anyway to get out of these?
 
Do I need to get GAP insurance, and if so, would it be better to get it from the dealer or my insurance agent?
 
Thanks

Thanks... I ended up going to a few dealers and having each of them beat my previous deal. I ended up with $2,000 off MSRP vs. $1,000 so I am happy. Car will arrive in a week... not sure if they will budge on the MF but my Mom is still deciding if she wants to lease or go with the 4.9% finance special (the car is for her).

Is the bank fee the same as the acquisition fee and can it be waived?
Yes, it is the same. This is mandated by BMW Lease Finance. The best that you can do is bring it down to $625 (some dealers try to mark this up to $825)
 
I was offered a money factor of 0.0018. Is this reasonable?
MF for a 36 month lease of a 2008 328i Sedan is .00165.
 
What would be the disadvantage of paying 1 security deposit? Do they try to keep it at the end?
This is a refundable SD. It will bring down your MF by .00007 and you will get it back at the end of your lease.
  
I've been quoted 380 for MACO and 180 for dealer training. Is there anyway to get out of these?
These 2 fees are mandated by BMW North America and can be negotiated but not always. Depends on the dealer.
  
Do I need to get GAP insurance, and if so, would it be better to get it from the dealer or my insurance agent?
This is included by BMW Lease Finance. You are not require to get this from your insurance company.
 
Which dealer are you planning to buy from in LA?
 
PM me for additional info.
 
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your response bmw328lease. I've talked to the usual suspects in LA: pacific bmw, rusnak, bobsmith, assael...
 
Do you or anybody knows if I can pick up the lease in LA and drop it off at Boston? Is there an extra charge for this?
 
Thanks guys.

I got the following quote from the dealer in NJ for a '08 328xi with auto, premium, cold, metallic paint for 36 months 10k/yr:
MSRP 40925
CAP cost 38500
inceptions (1st payment $448 + security deposit $550 + doc fee $125 + registration $187+ Lease acquistion fee $625 + tax $1,250) = $3,185
 Monthly payment = $448.
 
Good deal? The tax I calculated came up to $1,128. Don't know how he got 1,250.
