BMW introduces new body types after 7 years, with a slight refresh at 3rd/4th year. As the 5 series was introduced as a 2004 model, and slightly refreshed for 2008, it appears that it follows the BMW's way. Therefore, the new body should be introduced as a 2011 model, which may make it available in March of 2010, as it seems that the new-year 5-series are getting out at this time. This also makes sense that they did some changes to the design, like interior, headlights, front spoiler, and such for 2008. Probably they would like to milk this body in their usual fashion, that is, for the 3 coming years...

hmm, assuming you are correct, a 24 month lease will leave me a couple months shy of the new release in 2010. Maybe I should extend my current 24 a couple of months... That said, the new body could be 2010 with a March 09 release.

Heard from a dealer today, residual for 36mo.12k miles lease on 528xi was 62%. Money factor was .00225.

Those are the same as December's. He's either quoting you the December numbers or the Lease Rates haven't changed.

Would this residual (62%) and money factor (.00225) be the same for a 2008 535xi?
 
Also, does BMW Financial offer balloon loans? If so, what are the current terms for A credit.
 
Thanks!

Another words, the same as December's rates. No solid word on price increases yet but I hear rumors that BMW will raise prices on U.S. E60s by March 2008.

#1659 of 3911 BMW 550i by cafinfan

Hello group,
My employer wants to lease me a car with a budget of 1,100 a month for 24 months. I am interested in a 550i. No money down.I am in San Francisco, CA. Do you think this is possible? I am beginning to do my homework on leasing, etc.
I still want to get the best deal possible and look foward to this as an exercise in learning about leasing.
My strategy - identify exactly what options I would like. (Almost done)
Make a list of all dealers within 100 miles.
Contact all dealers to make an offer?
what do you think?

Obviously deciding on what options you like is a first step, but before contacting dealers I would also suggest you obtain the Invoice and MSRP prices for those options. That information is available from Edmunds. After you find out the invoice cost for your car as optioned, you will be in a better position to negotiate.
 
Also, I would be remiss were I not to to tell you that an $1100 a month lease payment is knocking on the door of the BMW 750i. According to Edmunds, there is a $5000 incentive from BMWNA to dealers right now on the Seven Series so it may be possible to get the payment down to $1100 a month even with a full slate of options on the 750i.
 
You should definitely test drive the 750i if you are considering a 550i anyway.

Anyone know if there is still the $1k lease cash on the 5 series? Is it more, less, or gone?
