you left out captialized cost that you are paying.That is needed to correctly figure the price of the lease. Also the MSRP is also needed. You don't mention those important two numbers. Also, don't pay sales tax upfront. If your car is totaled for some reason, you are out of that money.

The cap cost is $51750 and residual is 58% ($33845). The price listed on dealers website is $54995 (the actual MSRP for this configuration is approx. 58.5k). I have always bought my previous cars and this is my first experience negotiating a lease. Thanks for pointing out to roll sales tax into monthly payments. Also, what happens to MSDs if he car is totalled.
 
I am also visiting other dealers tomorrow to check the deals on leftover 08 535i (new) to compare.
 
Thanks.

Let me understand this. Do you mean to tell me that with a lease, you put down $7950, and you don't OWN THE CAR at the end of the procedure??? Why would someone do that? Boy, there's some people out there with some serious money, is all I can say about that.

$7950 includes 1st payment, upfront sales tax (which I plan to roll into monthly payment instead of paying upfront), acquisition fee, DMV fee and $4400 multiple security deposits which are refunded at the end of the lease. MSDs lower the money factor and in my case will reduce the monthly payment by $40. Thats a savings of $480 per year and $1440 in 3 years. That's more than 10% return on money.

You get your MSD's back if car is unfortunately totaled.

I just did my first lease on an "employee return", which i now know BMW calls "MSO", a factory employee from Spartainburg, SC or a BMW executive drives it and returns it with less than 15K miles. Usually it has to be leased after a return within the model year. I just got mine 2 weeks ago. If I am reading your post correctly, your initial payment will be 2569? is the 569/mo before taxes? I just leased an '08 535i premium/sport (htd seats, xenons, blue tooth, parking sensors) "employee return" for 12K/yr for 36 mos. I put $2500 down and I pay $599 a month. Plus the car was CPOed by BMW USA so it is worth more to me in the end if I chose to keep the car. I would keep look around a little more. there is a BIG difference between an '06 530 and an '08 535 (3.0 twin turbo) in terms of performance. I posted a question like this about a month ago on this website and never got a response or feedback. After extensive research I have learned a lot and I hope I can pass on some of the information I have learned.

Thanks for the info on your lease. I feel like my lease offer is not the best but might be a better purchase if I could get it CPO'd.
 
My total monthly payment with taxes would be 569 and my initial out of pocket would be 1431.
 
Now for a total newbie question: the residual value I am quoted - will that be the price I have to pay at the end of the lease if I want to purchase? Is there a chance they would push that higher? They did mention that depending on BMW's assessment, the number could be lower but no higher.
 
Thanks again for helping out

I am leasing for the first time and got an offer on a 528i base with ipod added for $562 a month for 36 mos., 12k mi a year. $965 drive off. Can get xenon for a bit more (thought they were standard). Is this a good deal (supposedly expires tomorrow night)? and what other questions should I be asking before I jump in?
thanks.
