Hey bocastephen. BMW's lease program is national. Even though the money factors and residual values do not vary from state to state theoretically one will be able to get a better deal on a leased vehicle in an area that has a large amount of competition than they would in an area that has only one BMW dealer because they will be able to negotiate a lower selling price in the more competitive area.

Welcome spliffnut. You actually are missing the most important number, this car's selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable and they are a necessary component to calculate payments. For now, I will estimate what sort of selling price you will be able to get so that I can work up a payment for you.
 
The car that you described probably has a spread of around $3,500 or so between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Add to that the $1,840 credit that dealers are receiving for a free automatic transmission on this car right now and you have a total of around $5,300 to play with during your negotiations. Let's say that you are able to get this car for $750 over invoice. That would amount to a discount of around $4,500 from its MSRP.
 
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2009 BMW 328xi that has an MSRP of $42,445 and a selling price of $37,945 through BMW Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $527.

Hi ldodb. This car's lease payment will depend upon what sort of selling price you are able to negotiate on it. The car that you described has a spread between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price of around $3,350. For now, I will assume that you are able to get this car for $750 over invoice, or a discount of $2,600 from MSRP
 
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2009 BMW 328i Coupe that has an MSRP of $42,000 and a selling price of $39,845 through BMW Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $520.

Hi investor27. Manufacturers' official advertised lease payments, which is what you saw here, never include sales tax. Not only does not including tax make the payment look better, but it actually makes sense because the method for calculating sales tax on vehicles varies from state to state while this is a national ad.
 
Savvy consumers who are in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to negotiate a better deal than manufacturers' official advertised leases. This makes sense if one thinks about it. Dealers would be pretty darn annoyed if their manufacturer went around advertising the skinniest possible deal on a vehicle. Shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you go with calculate your car's payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

BMW 328i Coupe lease question by sean39
May 14, 2009 (6:49 pm)

Car_man & company,
 
I am considering leasing a new 328i coupe through BMW's current lease promo. I am trying to figure out how low I would need to get the MSRP on the car in order to get my payments to the mid 400's with tax. I am also hoping for an increase in mileage allowance.
 
Thier current promo is:
 $429*/month for 36 months (Based in a 42K model)
 
• $429 First months payment
• $3,150 Down payment
• $450 Security Deposit
• $725 Acquisition fee
• $4,754 Cash due at signing
 
The 328 Coupe I would like to lease has an MSRP of $41,575.
 
Im not sure what thier current lease factors/numbers are or exactly how low I can expect to get the deal. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Hi. I need the money factor and residual for the 2009 328i with auto and sport package. And the same for the 328 coupe, auto and sport package. I've seen that they offer the 328, premium and auto trans for 369 a month. If i change the premium for the sport, the price is almost the same but i don't know if the offer is just for the one with the premium package. I live in Miami Dade area. Thanks

Hello car_man and you good people,
 
Kudos and thank you for such an informative forum. I have a few quick questions. I am in the market and finalizing my BMW lease deal with a dealership in town. Questions I have that would help me understand the options given to me are:
1. What is the current (May, 2009) money factor for 2009 BMW 328i convertible? 36 months versus 42 months.
2. What is the % residual for a 36 months 10,000 miles/year lease?
3. What is the % residual for a 42 months 10,000 miles/year lease?
4. What is BMW's lease acquisition fee for this vehicle?
 
The MSRP of this vehicle with options is $53,900.
 
Thank you in advance!!
-Rez

I had a bad experience with a delear trying to lease a 328xi with 15000 mi. He was very elusive and difficult to work with. What is the best way to approach a lease? Should I call the dealers, instead of wasting my time in person, and ask over the phone what they have in stock, what is the selling price, % residual and money factor?
 
He gave me a selling price of about 42,000 on a 328xi, 15k/mi/yr premiumpckge, cold weather package for 560/ month plus 3700 due at signing for taxes, 1st month down payment and acquisition fee. Appreciate any help.
