| Currently own a 1997 528i. Am considering leasing an 08 or 09 5 series. Am considering either 528xi or 535. I have several questions that perhaps you cld assist me with. Can someone let me know if I can buy an 08 at this time below invoice and if so how much below? What about 09? Where are they selling? Also, what is a fair money factor rate and residual value? It seems so ridiculous to lease a car base on a monthly payment without knowing exactly what terms/figures are being used to come up with that figure. Any other lease advice wld be greatly appreciated. Thx. | |

This may not be news to others. I just called BMWFS to talk about how to go about returning my 2007 530 lease in December when it is due. The guy on the phone asked me if I thought about buying the car. I said no since the residual was higher than the value (42K). He told me this was becoming a problem for BMWFS since the lease returns are all under water based on current value. He offered me 8K off of the residual as long as I financed through BMWFS. He approved me on the phone and sent me a contract via email within minutes. I have decided to return it anyway because I cannot imagine not getting my hands on the new 535 twin turbo engine. I am going to pick up my new car today. I just thought folks would want to know that BMWFS is hungry to help you buy out your lease! He told me 8k was the maximum rebate they could offer. I did not press him any harder. |

| Wow! That is some serious rebate change. It makes sense tho as my residual on my 2008 528i is 76%....My $52k retail car has a residual of 39550 after 2 years, 20k miles. making that 31500 is tempting. (granted I still have 13 months left on my lease) | |

Replying to: Car_man (Oct 13, 2008 4:24 pm) I saw the new lease specials on BMWusa.com for the 2008 528i lease  $499/mo 10kmi 36months, MSRP of $47,825.00. I went to the local dealer and found a car and they came in over $90/mo more. I was putting down $2500cap cost, first payment and security deposit along with taxes. I cannot understand why they aren't able to build the config based off the website. I'm assuming they are jacking up the moneyfactor or something. I quailiy for the special lease offer. Can you provide the Oct specials for 2008 528i money factor & residual value ?? I applicate the help. |

Replying to: mm1250 (Oct 18, 2008 7:35 pm) Yes. If the car gets totaled your $2,500 will be gone. Never put any oney down on a lease! Even the sales tax should be included in the monthly payment. |
