Here's the information that you're looking for, tennberg. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 335i Sedan with 10,000 miles per year are .00175 and 63%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 335i Coupe are .00200 and 61%.

Hi tennberg. BMW Financial Services recently raised its base acquisition fee to $725. The dealer that you are working with is marking that up by a couple hundred dollars.

No problem, earth777. I have not heard that BMW allows consumers to lock in money factors, but not residual values...but anything is possible in the current environment. BMW has been getting killed by the residual values that it has overestimated over the years. The only thing that has saved it from some of the pain is that it crams so many CPO vehicles down dealers throats.
 
Locking in a money factor only makes sense if one can lock in the residual value as well because automakers often lower their money factors as the model year progresses to make up for the natural decline that vehicles' residuals experience.

Welcome mls74. Let's take a look at the deal that you were quoted. I'll start with the money factor. The .00150 factor that you were quoted is right in line with BMW Financial Services' current buy rate for this model. That is a good sign because it means that this dealer is not trying to mark your car's factor up to add hidden profit to your deal, like BMW dealers often do.
 
Now on to the other important number, the selling price. I don't know its exact dealer invoice price, but the car that you described probably has a spread of around $3,000 between its MSRP and invoice price. The $2,100 dealer discount that you were quoted is probably around $900 or so over invoice. This is a pretty good deal, but if you are in an area that has a number of BMW dealers and you purchase something that is in inventory I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to beat this by a couple hundred dollars.
 
Again, this is a good deal but you probably will be able to beat it by a little. The question is how much work you want to put in to shaving a couple dollars per month off of your car's payment.

Car_Man, do you have the numbers for the same vehicles with 12,000 and 15,000 miles? Thanks.

Subtract 1% for 12K mi./yr, and 2% more (3% total) for 15K mi./yr.
 
The MF will stay the same...

Can anyone provide me with money factor and residual for 2008 BMW 335I coupe
for a 24 mo and 36mo lease? I have been quoted .00225 and 54% residual which doesn't appear as aggressive as I think it should be.
Thanks!
