I have leased many cars and recently purchased a CPO. Your logic is correct but I think you over estimate the cpo price. I purchased a 2007 550i for 35000. You could get a 530 or 525 for less. So redo your financials using a lower price. However, a new car every 3 yrs typically equals lease.

Agreed, your CPO estimate is too high. I also purchased a 2007 530, w/ Nav, Sport and Premium package for 33K plus tax.

I agree with your analysis for your situation. What caused me to write the post though was the almost feverish requests for people to judge if the poster had gotten absolute last nickel out of the deal. Anyone who is working that hard to save a little money, I think, could in most situations, put the same effort into the far less "efficient" used market and come up with a real score. Given that BMW Financial sets the rules and the dealers all buy the cars at the same price, no one is going to come up with a way under market price on a lease.
 
It is analgous to two investors. One guy researches the big cap stocks which are covered by everybody. He thinks naiveley that with enough work he can get an edge on Google's earnings prospects. The other guy picks an obscure corner of the market with very little coverage, say bonds issued by African countries. With enough research he could come up with an edge that would make him some money.

Hey jasont. $250 over dealer invoice plus the use of its buy rate lease money factor is an excellent deal on a 2010 528i.

Hi radone. That's a lot of negative equity. You would be better off waiting until you are less upside down on your current car to get something new. If you really wanted to get out of your car right now, you would end up paying a lot more more than you normally would for your new car. Plus you would have to come up with a lot of cash to put down because there isn't a $10,000 margin in this car to absorb the negative equity,

Greetings bmwfan53. Here's the information that you're looking for. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 535i with 15,000 miles per year are .00155 and 58%, respectively. The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.

Hi teck2u2. BMW is indeed providing $5,000 dealer cash on the 2009 5-Series. However, this cash is not compatible with its special financing or lease programs. It's only good on cash deals, including real cash and deals that are financed through banks other than BMW FS. There is no cash available on 2010 models.

Thanks Car_man,
 
I appreciate your response on this and my MDX forum questions.
 
I ended up going with a 09 X5 with 36K miles lease. I am happy to say that through this forum and your expert advise as well as others, I got the X5 for $170 over invoice price (see my earlier post with pricing details).
 
I am picking it up the end of July or sooner if all goes well.
 
Cheers,

I am looking at ordering a 2010 528xi with navigation, comfort access, sports package, sirius radio, fold down rear seats and premium package. I am going to purchase the car. The quote I have is $2000 over invoice. Is this a good deal for a 2010 customized with the options I want. Is anyone aware of any specials BMW is offering on 2010 5 series cars?
