BMW Select Program by gregoryx

I've been following these posts pretty closely and i am learning something new with each post. Thanks for the information. Does anyone have experience or an opinion about the bmw select program? short story is that it is a mix of a lease program and purchase option. the rate is 2.9% interest on 2010 model with unlimited miles for 60 months with no money down, with a ballon payment at the end of the term. at the end of the term, you have the option of rolling it into a short term loan (at the same interest rate) or trading your vehicle in for another vehicle (at the same interest rate).
 
thoughts? i don't see it in any of the posts and i'm trying to understand the pros/cons

A reporter is looking to interview a consumer who passed on purchasing a Cadillac because there was no attractive lease option. Please send your daytime phone number to ctalatiedmunds.com by Wednesday, September 16, 2009.

Thanks for the response kyfdx. I agree as well. I didn't want to know what the dealer makes. My current sales person started with the "What do you think I should make on this deal?" question when I talked about lowering the MF. Telling that he personally is only making $280 on the deal. And $80 of that comes from the upped MF. So like everything else, I started my fact checking on this.
 
So applying what you are saying to my deal, which is:
 
2010 535ix with Premium Pkg, Access Control and NAV
It’s a demo car with 7k miles on it
$57,875 MSRP
$50,279 Sales Price
$32,930 Residual (56.9%)
.00217 MF
3yr lease, 12k miles
$599/mth
Due at signing, $599 1st mth, $600 security dep, $925 Acq. Fee, $2,400 MSD, $190 State/doc fees, $47 plate/title
 
Yes, the sales person gets the marked up acg. fee, but that is all they get? The sales person does not get a cut of the MF above BMWFS set rate? In my case, BMWFS requires a .00035 on top of the 00165 because it is being purchased by a tax exempt entity. And there is no money being made off the sales price of the car because it is priced below dealer invoice?

The cost structure of the demo is the unknown variable in the equation.. I don't know the demo plan for BMW. I'm sure that the dealer credits some amount for the miles on the demo, but how much they get from BMW, I'm not sure.. (don't get me started on ... "How much do you think I should make?" )
 
    But, the only thing you really need to know.. is if this deal is cheaper than what you can negotiate on a new (non-demo) car? It is a 3-year lease... so... .cheaper is cheaper.. As long as you have warranty and maintenance for the full term, then the 7K miles mean nothing to you..
 
I have to say... for a $58K MSRP car... $630/mo. is a great deal (amortized the acq.fee), even if you did have to do 4 MSDs to get it.. Does that include tax, as well?
 
You can get lost in the money factors and acquisition fees, after awhile... Sometimes, you need to look at the real world finances. How much am I paying to rent this car, per month? This looks cheap to me...
 
regards,
kyfdx

Any help on this one? Particularly interested in whether there is additional Lease Cash/Dealer rebate. Thanks.

528xi Money Factor and Residual by armitagemike
Sep 18, 2009 (5:46 am)

Can you provide me with the Money Factor and Residual value for:
 
2010 528xi 36 month 36,000 mile lease
2010 528xi 36 month 30,000 mile lease
 
Also, realize I can browse the "prices paid" forum, but wondering if there is becoming a standard "over invoice" price to be paid for this car to calculate a fair lease.
 
Thanks!
