Re: Program info for 2006 330Ci and 330Ci Convertible [leeshuck] by threxx

BMW lists the following lease offer for the 335Ci on their website:
Monthly lease payments of $529.00 for 36 months based on MSRP of $42,570.00 (includes automatic transmission). (Total lease payments including acquisition fee is $19,044.00). For vehicles registered outside of NY, $3,579.00 due at signing includes first month’s payment, down payment and security deposit.

Now my question is that it says nothing about the actual selling price, so is that assuming the dealer sells it to me for MSRP? So if I negotiated 2500 off the MSRP then I could get it for zero cap cost reduction and still 529/month + tax? Is that reasonable? Should I shoot for better or less?

I am in a waiting phase. I requested a car inspection since I do not reside close to where the vehicle is located. AND I am a woman so if it looks pretty I may not be thorough as I would be blinded by the nice looking car ( I gotta be honest about myself..impulsive woman shopper at times).
 
That inspection has not occurred and I have contacted leasetrader about the delay. Both seller and I are anxious to get this done.
 
I will let you know.
 I look forward as it appears to be a really nice car.

Hi msfitnetz. Thanks for the update - better safe than sorry on a major transaction like this - hope your inspection goes well.
 
I started filling out the forms on leasetrader.com and did not complete the process as I wanted to check with someone at work who might be interested in my M3. Now I am getting e-mail messages and phone calls from leasetrader. From the phone conversation I had and all of the conversation in the background it seems like a boiler room operation. I'll look forward to hearing about your experience when the deal has been consummated.

2007 BMW 335i Coupe by minniemouse1

I want to get the 335i space gray paint with everything in it! Navigation, sports package, premium, etc etc. The total cost comes up to be about $49000. I work in medical sales and drive a lot but need a new car every three years for company policy. I talked to the dealer and he said that they do $20,000 mile leases. My question is I know the car is new but is the MSRP negotiable when ordering it from the dealer. He wants me to put almost $5000 down to get my payments at $760 (my max payment is $700). Is it doable to get my payment lower than $760, zero down and $20,000 miles a year? Or am I SOL? THANKS!

Welcome home6113. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. Once you have read them, stop back and I will be more than happy to answer any specific questions that you have.

I'm sorry to hear that your local dealer is giving you a hard time, reloprincess. BMW's lease program on the 2006 330i is much better than its program on the 2007 335i right now. Eventually BMW will have to increase its lease support on the 2007 model, but it will probably take several months.

Hey reloprincess. It's possible that the dealer you are working with didn't know about BMW's enhancement to the 2006 330i's lease program, however I believe that BMW announced this change a day or two early so it is probably more likely that they just didn't want to tell you about the change. Dealers that lease you a vehicle using a bank's buy rates don't make back-end profit on your deal, but they still make money off of the price that they sell you your vehicle for.

Hello Lee. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2006 330Ci with 15,000 miles per year are .00100 and 57%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 330Ci Convertible are .00300 and 58%. The Convertible's money factor is so much worse because it can be used in conjunction with the new $3,500 dealer cash that BMW introduced on this car.
