Can anybody comment on the differences in driving a manual transmission in each of these cars? I have been a BMW guy for a long time....currently finishing a lease with an x5 2005 with a manual! Very unusual! but is has been fun...maybe slighty underpowered on take off.....but now I want to have a manual 6 speed sedan with decent seating in the back seat ....teenagers still not driving yet...I read about the Audi a4 2009 211 hp with alot of "zip"..test drove the automatic recently...nice interior.. roomier than the 2008 version....also what about the difference n the 528xi versus 535xi manuals? I would love to hear any comments on this issue I have ......I have to lease something soon.....and AWD is needed here in the northeast and of course the lease deal has to be decent. Thanks...... |

Hello all, I always lease my cars, this is my first German car. I am typically a Lexus guy.. anyhow, here are the numbers on my 535i I just picked up last night (SOCAL): 2008 535i Manual (This was the only manual they had) White on Black w/ Anthracite Wood Premium Sports Nav Cold weather Ipod Adaptor MSRP: $58690 Sell Price: $54018 Total paid at driveoff: $2117.80 includes 1st month, tax, license, reg, acquisition 36 months  $726 plus tax of 8.25% so total is $785.99 tax included. 10k/year. 20 cents per mile overage. (This is the first time I did 10k, I always did 12k but I thought 20 cents isnt too bad. If I Want to purchase mileage, an extra 6k is $1200 total. I am thinking I could have got them to come down another $20 or so but didnt want to push too much since this is the exact package combo, color combo, and gearbox I wanted. I went in for a test drive and took the car home 3 hours later. I really hope a got at LEAST a descent deal. Thanks for your replies, I REALLY appreciate it.

Replying to: newtobmw18 (Sep 08, 2008 6:56 am) My understanding from reading BMW's most recent lease offer on the bmwusa.com website is that they are offering 58% residual and about .0009 MF on 36 month leases. (That's on an automatic transmission, though, not sure if they have better lease terms on those.) Those terms with your numbers should result in a payment of around $633 plus tax, unless I'm making a mistake somewhere along the way. In any case, congratulations on a sweet ride.

Replying to: calabooboo (Sep 09, 2008 3:23 pm) I don't think it's a bad deal that the OP got, but at the end of the day, the deal is done and he got the EXACT car that he wanted. Enjoy the ride.....

Dealer has 08 wagon..$61,500 MSRP...Seems that right now residual is 55% and MF is .0016 but can be reduced to .00111 with 7 MSDs...seems like good deal could be had if can get good sell price....with that MSRP what would be fair selling price deal to base lease calcs off of....and how does the free prem package deal work in? thanks..I was thinking like $55,000 selling with the prem package deal...possible? ran my calcs and with a $55,000 selling price, 36 month lease with 15,000 miles should be about $734 including 7% tax.

Replying to: jiholl5333 (Sep 14, 2008 6:31 pm) Local SoCal dealer made me the following offer yesterday on a 535i manual with premium, sport, nav and some other goodies, MSRP $59,225: $55K selling price, .00175 money factor with no sec deposit (.0016 with 1x security deposit), 58% residual on 36 month 10000 mile lease, $875 acquisition fee. I did not think $4,200 under sticker was that great so I turned them down; told them I'd do it at $5,500 under sticker and they told me "good luck." Now that I see jiholl's numbers I feel I did the right thing. Let's see if they come crawling back in a day or two...

Hi, I had quotes from a dealer in CA for following car: 528i MSRP 51,000, selling for 47000. 4000.00 out of pocket. 12k miles/year, 36 months lease: 639.00/month tax is included. Res is 57. Money factor is 0.00188 (4.5%). Dealer said this is the current money factor & residual for a 2008 528 lease. Is it a good deal? Can dealer bring the money factor to lower number (2.5%) in stead of 4.5? I've heard you can max the MSD x 7 and this should reduce .00049 and this should drop payment to at least 50-60 bucks less a month. Is this a way to bring down the payment? Many thanks in advance for your inputs. Korg
