Replying to: coby03 (Mar 01, 2008 12:45 pm) That looks like a pretty good deal. Can I ask how you got the MF and residual? I'd like to do the exact same lease term, just a slightly different optioned car. Did you put anything down (like an acquisition fee, security deposit)? I thought I read somewhere that at the end of a BMW lease you have to pay a disposition fee (basically paying BMW to take your car back)? Any truth to that? Thanks!

Replying to: coby03 (Mar 01, 2008 12:45 pm) FWIW, not one person has failed to remark favorably about Arctic metallic. In bright sun, the grey exhibits subtle hues of green and light blue, and it's not a "dark" color, which reduces the heat buildup factor. |

I know it's speculation, but what do you all think rates will do over the next couple of months? The base rate dropped from .00275 in February to .00245, but they are still much higher than the coupe and sedan. Do you think they will continue to drop? Also, if I order one now, do I get the rate now or do I contract and lock in at delivery? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: boe747lcf (Mar 08, 2008 9:24 pm) As far as anything down, I paid a $500 deposit so far. When the vehicle comes in I'll pay the 1st payment, BMWFS acquisition fee, plate/regist fee, and taxes (less the $500 deposit). There is no security deposit since I'm a returning BMWFS customer. And when I turn in my 2005 330Ci, they will waive the $350 disposition fee. If I didn't re-up with BMW I'd have to pay that fee. I saw that my 335i is scheduled for production on BMW Owner's Circle. Hopefully will have it here in less than 6 weeks from now. Waiting....ugh.

I just configured up three different 3-Series cars, a Sedan, a Coupe, and a Sport Wagon, all at exactly $44,000, and all with exactly $4,000 "down" (kind of simulating ED savings). What I found disheartening was the huge disperity between the various monthly lease costs given three "identically" financed cars (3-Year/36,000 mile leases). Consider the following: 2008 328i Sedan -- $507 2008 328i Coupe -- $531 2008 328i Wagon -- $572 Ouch, that means that over the term of the lease, the Sport Wagon will cost $2,340 more (or nearly 13% more). Ouch, what's up with that? Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 10, 2008 7:05 pm)  Given how steep the lease rates are for the Wagon, we may just pay cash for the darned thing. Grrr.  Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: coby03 (Mar 10, 2008 5:56 pm) You must be so anxious to get your car.... I test drove the 335i this weekend and it was an incredible car. I sure hope that I get get a similar deal once I'm ready to buy (lease). But I suppose I need to keep a level head and not go overboard in payments too... so would the 0.0021 and 64% also be applicable for a 328i, or are there different numbers for that car? I really like the 335i but I'm thinking the 328i is also a nice car to drive. Thanks for the help. I'm sure we won't be seeing you in this forum in about six weeks since you'll be out enjoying your new ride every chance you get!
