Since you asked the same question as clvnu above, read the responses to her/him.
 
In your case, the January money factor for a 328i sedan for 24 months are .00165 and 68% for 24 months and 58% for 36 months. For the 328xi sedan, the money factor is .00175 and 71% for 24 months and 61% for 36 months.
 
An example for the 328xi with your options, from the BMWUSA website, Build Your Own (Try it yourself, you need to educate yourself) :
 
MSRP $39,250. No automatic trans, no leather, no premium package. If you negotiate $2,000 off MSRP, you'd be at an agreed price of $37,250.
 
Your whole $1500 to $2000 would be taken up with fees and "drive-off" payments, so I'll assume you'll pay no actual down payment. Assuming you're not a previous BMWFS customer, be sure that you make at least one security deposit to keep your money factor from going up by .00015.
 
On a 3 year lease, without rolling any inception fees such as the bank fee into your payment, your payment would be about $477 before taxes. For 24 months it would be about $505. The 328i would be a bit lower. If you need auto trans, add about $20 a month to your payment.

Hello Cluvnu!!!
 I believe I can help you with your questions because I just purchased in December an 2008 328i conv. jet black with black leather premium pkg,ipod adapter and comfort access, pretty similiar to yours, the msrp on this car with these options was 48,300, it's a little more than your msrp because premium pkg. is a little more, anyway after searching all the dealerships in town and out of town I realized noone was wanting to give any discounts at all, because in Houston this car cannot be found it must be ordered, I then tried contacting the internet depts., and found one dealer who could give a measley $500.00 off, which was better than what everyone else said which was better than nothing!!!!
 
   Anyways msrp was 48,300.00. I got .00295% MF and 63% residual on a 36 mos. lease. In Texas you must pay full taxes which is 7.25%. So with 4,000 down at lease signing which was first payment, secruity deposit and aquis.fee $625,and some other bs fees, and what was left from the 4,000 was used as dwn payment my payment turned out to be $748.00, so I don't believe it will be possible to have a payment at $600.00 a month on this car, mabye you should consider a coupe for that payment range!!! If you decide to bust your budget it will def be worth it I love, love, love this car!!!!

residual: .63

Im new at this and dont want to get taken to the cleaners the first time. This seems like a bad deal. What can I do to lower the monthly payment substantially?
Any help would be a relief as well as much appreciated. Any thing on here seem a little fishy? This is what the dealer just faxed over. Thanks-

companyman21 - A selling price of $36,500 on a $38,550 MSRP BMW 328i is a very aggressive price.
 
However, the lease program that you are being quoted is off.
 
2008 BMW 328i Sedan
24 Month – Residual 70% of MSRP – .00165 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 60% of MSRP – .00165 Base Rate
 
2008 BMW 328xi Sedan
24 Month – Residual 73% of MSRP – .00175 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 63% of MSRP – .00175 Base Rate
 
A 36 month lease with 12,000 miles per year, should be $488.18 with taxes and inception fees due at signing.
 
If you need any more help, please feel free to email me or reply.

Thank you very much boomer23 for your response...i think i am going to look at the mercedes clk 350 since they are advertising lease prices of 499 a month...does anyone know what the money factor and the residual is for this car...i realize it is not a bmw and that is what this forum is for, but you all really seem to know a lot about this...so if anyone has any advice regarding this car it would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks again boomer23!!

Sorry, I don't know anything about Mercedes lease details. One thing to watch out for on advertised lease rates: They often include large down payment amounts. As many have said, putting thousands of dollars down on a lease is not a good idea. If you can use the advertised lease payments as a guide and then negotiate with the Mercedes dealer for a similar payment, but with no money down, you'll be going in the right direction. I've heard that they also have a program to use multiple refundable security deposits to reduce the payment.

Are these brand new lease numbers? I was quoted 5 days ago 61% mf and .00175 on a 328i lease for 15k. BMWUSA states that the current lease deal is available until 1/31. I was actually hoping the fed rate cut would improve the mf in February. Where did you find these residual and mf numbers?

For a 328i sedan, January lease rates for 36 month lease are .00165 and 58%.

I need some advice on whether or not this is a good deal. I chose the 2007 hoping to get a better price off invoice but the dealer wouldn't budge too much.

Lease: 24 months / 15K miles per year
rate: .00245
residual: .71
drive-off: 1,710
MF: 0.00165

Is this a good deal?

hopefall and boomer - I apologize for the confusion, but there appears to be inaccuracies in regard to the lease rates on the 328i. I have asked for further clarification, but I believe that a 36 month lease with 12,000 miles per year would have a 63% residual and the money factor should be 0.00175.
