I just sat in a dealer for 2 hours that was a 2 hour drive from my house because I was getting an increadable deal!! A 2011 535i (M-sport, premium, Nav, etc). The car had an MSRP of 65,425. The dealer was discounting the car $9,500!! Thought it was too good to be true although it was an Internet price and other cars had similar discounts. I called and confirmed. Got to the dealer. Added the $1000 loyalty to the deal. They completed the deal with a MF of .00195 and res of 56%. Got all the way to the finance office, almost a done deal with a payment of $711+tx. At the last moment the finance manager walks in and tells them that BMW changed the residual on the car today to 49%!! Adding about $200 to my deal?? Obviously I storemed out! Is this true that the residual was lowered so much??

Saw this and have to comment... It is true but it happened yesterday. You can get almost $10,000 off on a 2012 model and the residual is much higher with the same money factor.

Insidecarbuy.. Thanks for your quick reply, you put me into a little better mood!! It was extremely agrivating to waste 4 hours, get my credit pulled to find out that the deal they offered changed!! All must happen for the best because I didn't know that I could get 10k off of a 2012.

Hi Car Man
 
An update to my earlier request. I am hearing the residuals are plummeting on November rates for the 2011 models, so can you please give me the 2011 mf and residual vs the 2012 on the 535i w/10K miles annually?
 
Thanks!

Car_man - awaiting your November rates and looking at rates for a 2012 550iX 36/10K.
 
Also interested in the new incentives - holiday cash and any additional rate buy downs. Also, can the BMWFS Loyalty incentives be combined with any of these incentives on a lease ($1K, 1% APR drop)? How does that effect the lease buy rate?

Here you go krazy3281. BMW Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 535i xDrive Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00195 and 53%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2011 model are .00195 and 49%.
 
These cars' money factors are .00030 lower for loyal customers.
 
When negotiating your deal on the 2012 model, make sure to take the new $1,000 cash allowance that is available on it into account.

Here's the latest for you, jit3. BMW Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 535i Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00195 and 55%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
The money factor for loyal customers would be .00030 lower.
 
BMW is currently providing a $1,000 cash incentive on leases of this car through BMW FS.

#3268 of 3910 Only $1,700 off 2012 550i (not including loyalty)? by dsa421

Nov 07, 2011 (10:22 pm)

Looking at a 2012 550i with an MSRP $73,475, car is due at port on Nov 16th, my dealer would be doing a "trade" with the dealership to get the car. Salesman who is a "friend of a friend" has offered $2,700 off MSRP for discount INCLUDING loyalty incentive (I am turning in my 5.0 X5).
 
Are most dealerships prone to knock more $$$ off if they don't have to "trade" and order the car directly from the manufacturer? Do the figures above seem like a not so great deal, I certainly am not impressed.
