Hi tnguy1. You never mentioned the selling price of the 550i that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of the vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what its selling price is.
 
For now I can tell you that the money factor that you were quoted for this car is correct for non-returning BMW FS customers who have their security deposit waived.

Car_man,
 
Thanks for your input. The selling price is 67500. So the gross capitalized cost is 68198 (67500 + 625 acq fee + 45 doc fee + 28 DMV titling fee). Cap cost reduction is 850. Adj cap cost is 67348. Resid value is 42071. Tax is 8.75%. Thanks Car_man.

Does BMW require payment of the acquisition fee for current owners? If so, should I be paying that separately or should that be rolled into cost?

MSRP- 52870
Cap Cost-50,870
24 months 12,000 miles per
$0 down and no security
$640 plus tax
(out of pocket is first, tax, tag and acquis fee of $625
Good deal?

Everybody pays the acquisition fee, current owners included. You can pay it up front or roll it into the lease. Personally, I like to pay it up front along with tax and security deposit if any so that the only thing my poor brain has to calculate for the lease payment is the cap cost.

You're very welcome, tnguy1. OK, so you were quoted a selling price of $67,500 on a 2008 BMW 550i that has an MSRP of $69,470. This amounts to a discount of just under $2,000. This car probably has a spread of around $5,500 or so between its MSRP and its dealer invoice price. So that puts the price that you were quoted at around $3,000 over invoice. I am not intimately familiar with what the market is like for the 550i right now, but that's enough room that if there is another BMW dealership to two in your area it wouldn't hurt to shop around. Also, make sure to stop by the "BMW 5-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately.
