Oct 330i lease money factor by casio

Does anyone know the Oct base money factor on a 2006 330i lease for 36 months for 10,000 and 12,000 miles/yr? Also what are the residual percentages for each?
 
Thanks in advance (this board is very helpful, by the way!).

October lease rates improved over September for the 330i (not sure about 325).
 
Base money factor is 0.00225
Residuals are 61%/63%/64% for 15k/12k/10k miles per year.
 
September base MF was 0.0025
Residuals were 60%/62%/63%
 
No idea what November will be.

Locking in Rates/Keeping Flexible by casio

Thanks Petesamprs--that's good news.
 
My car does not arrive until mid-Dec--what can I do to lock in the Oct rate yet keep the flexibility to use Nov or Dec rates should they be even more favorable?
 
Thanks in advance.

If you have already ordered your car, you should be able to lock in the October rates now..for up to 60 days from the end of the current program (i.e. thru December 31st) Just call your CA, and tell him you want to...
 
Then, if you take delivery in December, you should be able to use whichever program is better... October or December.. (though, not November, unless you take delivery in November).
 
All of this is assuming your dealer will use the base money factor.... that might be something to ask your CA... and something you probably should have asked before ordering..

My dealer has let me adjust my program each month. For example, if Oct > Sept, I can get Oct rates, and if Nov > Oct, i get Nov. Then if I take delivery in December, and if Nov > Dec, I keep Nov.
 
So i'll basically get to choose the best month in between the time I'ver ordered and the time I took delivery.

thanks to both of you. My dealer is also letting me take the best rate each month and lock that in--he is offering .00245 on a 36 month/10k/zero down deal for $611/mo (with 8.25% tax) on the Oct numbers. That's down from closer to $650 on Sept numbers for same deal--one of the benefits of having to wait for the car!

Here you go someguy1. If you were to lease a 2006 BMW 325xi through BMW Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00250 and 61%, respectively.

Hi casio. If you were to lease a 2006 BMW 330i through BMW Financial Services right now for 36 months with 10,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00225 and 64%, respectively. The .00270 money factor that you are being quoted is way too high, even if you are having your car's security deposit waived. Unfortunately, captive finance companies, like BMW FS, do not deal directly with the general public. Your only options are to insist that this dealer lease you this car using the buy rate money factor or to shop around and find one that will.
