#3368 of 3909 Advice on 2012 528i xdrive lease by justplanenutty

Jan 20, 2012 (2:44 pm)

Hi All,
 
I'm new to the BMW world and new to leasing as well. I'm looking at a 2012 528xi with an MSRP of $58,547. I'm looking for advice on what I should expect (bargain for) off the MSRP and what the current residuals and money factor's are. I was told 58% for a 10,000/yr lease, but from what I read in these forums that seems about 2% too low. Any help with expected sales price, residuals and rates for a first time buyer would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

Mr. Car man:
I am thinking about leasing a BMW 535 for my husband. MSRP is 53,000. I know that 36 month leases are considered a wiser choice, but I am curious if there could be a big enough reduction in monthly cost at 48 months. Looking at 10k miles per year. Your knowledge would be valued!
Thanks,

Oh, sorry about the confusion, Macdad. BMW Financial Services' January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2011 550i GT with 12,000 miles per year are .00195 and 41%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
That's right, 41. Ouch. If you really want to lease, you're much better off going with a 2012 model.

Greetings ap75. BMW Financial Services' January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 535i xDrive Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00185 and 58%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
Don't worry about not being a loyal customer, the loyalty program went away anyhow.
 
You definitely want to put as little money down as possible when leasing. Consumers who make large down payments on leased vehicles risk losing part or all of the money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

Hi justplanenutty. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2012 BMW 528i xDrive Sedan through BMW Financial Services right now for 36-months with 10,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value would be .00190 and 62%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Hi greencarleaser. You're getting your husband a 5-Series? Too bad you're already taken .
 
For some reason, the way BMW's lease program is structured right now it appears as though a 36-month lease would actually be cheaper than a 42- or 48-month lease of this car.

#3377 of 3909 Handshake deal until 1-30 by mackengr

Jan 28, 2012 (5:53 pm)

Wife works for dealership for many years, but have never purchased BMW. We have always received dealer cost with no doc fees, prep fees, etc., but this deal feels different. Worked on deal today for 2011 528i which was used as a service loaner. Car has 9200 miles and offered to me at $38,700, MF of .00205, acquisition fee of $725, and a residual of 46%. The MSRP is $48,775. The taxes are $3,340.77, which I do not understand how they are so high when the state rate is 6%. The final payment is $659.56. Deal is to be finalized Monday so any help is appreciated.
