Welcome sportconnect. Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
 
BMW Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 528i Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00135 and 59% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
If I was in the market for this car in an area that has a lot of competition, like Los Angeles does, I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 or so over dealer invoice and see what happens.

I’m looking to buy a new 528i and after talking to a Texas dealer he gave me a quote for a 2013 528i with Premium, Driver Assistance, Technology, Heated Front Seats, Multi-contour Seats, and Rear-seat entertainment:
 
msrp - $59,695.00
sale - $57,000.00
upfront - $4,500.00 including first month payment
monthly - $750.00
residual - 57%
MF - 0.00175
15k miles a year

Do you think this is a good deal? I would really appreciate any comments you may have.

Hi, Car Man.
 
I want to lease a 2013 bmw 550 in the next few weeks. What would the buy rate from BMWFS be on a car if I am going to lease with 10000 miles/year and I am going to max out on the MSD option?
 
Thanks!

#3677 of 3910 Help with 2013 535ix lease by greggmiller

Nov 03, 2012 (4:25 am)

Folks,
 
Appreciate any advice you can provide this newbie with regarding the following scenario.
 
I am new to BMW and new to luxury cars in general. Working hard and finally willing to pony up some dough for a new luxury car. Test drove the 535ix and, must say, was impressed:
 
Car has an MSRP of $61470. The dealer offered to price it for a sale at approximately $1000 over invoice. When I discussed the possibility of leasing, the discount from MSRP "dropped" to 59,000 with a cash cap reduction of $1160. On my lease sheet, the adjusted cap cost is ~$57000.
 
I am being offered a money factor of .00155, residual value of 56% and 15,000 with overage at .15 per mile. I am being asked to put $2500 down and there are registration and doc fees of $503. A rebate is listed at $2000 (not sure where it applies...but I think it works its way into the adjusted cap cost).
 
Can anyone tell me if this is a reasonable deal and/or what areas I should negotiate to make this a better deal? Final payment works out to 721 per month before taxes.
 
Many thanks in advance for any assistance. Happy to provide additional info, if needed.
 
GM

Hi derekla. BMW Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 BMW 550i Sedan with 10,000 miles per year are .00125 and 58% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
BMW is currently providing a $2,000 Holiday Credit on leases of this car.

Hi GM. A selling price of $1,000 over invoice minus the $2,000 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of this car is a decent deal on this car. The money factor that you were quoted is a little high though. BMW FS' buy rate for this model is currently .00125 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. Make sure that the dealer uses this factor to calculate your car's payment.
