kyfdx......Any idea what the "special money factors" are for returning customers in July? I've got an X5 lease that's up in early October, but would like to get an X3 next. I had planned on waiting a month or so to sort things out, but it sounds like maybe I should try to do it July 31 if things are about to hit the fan in the leasing world.
 
What else do you hear about BMW's attitude toward leasing? I read in the paper today that Chase will no longer provide lease financing for Chrysler, and that does not bode well for the world of leasing in general.
 
Any inside info might be VERY timely for many of us. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that the OLP MF on the X3 is .0016 for July... Not great, but not bad.. Plus, the X3 is the last BMW model that still has an unrealistically high residual (64% for 3yr/36mo.?)
 
I wouldn't worry about leasing issues at BMW... We are seeing a correction to those residuals, but BMWs still have great resale..
 
Strangely enough, I just leased a Subaru this week.. and the financing was through Chase...
 
Also.. none of this is "inside info".. I just read a lot..
 
regards,
kyfdx

August '08 BMW FS MF's and Residuals by sshherman

Hoping to lease a 2008 X3; Does anyone know what the money factors and residuals are on 36 and 24 months from BMW financial this month?
 
I received the following deal from one dealer.
 
New 2008 X3, White/Black, Premium, Cold Weather, Heated steering Wheel,
Navigation, and Privacy Glass. MSRP is 45525. Sell price $43600. The 36
month lease with 20000 miles per year is $635, taxes included, $2500
required at signing.
 
I know NJ has a 7% sales tax, not sure what the 2500 goes towards; but does this seem like an OK deal?
 
Thanks

Here you go, sshherman. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 X3 with 15,000 miles per year are .00200 and 72%, respectively. The money factor would be the same for an otherwise identical 36 month lease, but the residual value would be 62%. Keep in mind that BMW is providing a .00040 money factor reduction on this model for current lessees.
 
I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for the 7-Series right now, but you may be able to get an idea of the selling price that you were quoted is attractive or not by hopping on over to the "BMW 7-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion.

great deal by abm2

Just leased 08 new X3, base model from Braman in Miami. Wasn't even looking at this vehicle but saw an ad and went to see if it was a bait. It wasn't. MSRP 39125, 24 MONTHS, 10000 per year, 359+tax. At signing only first month and taxes, total 723.
I usually go thru the whole inquiry process of cap cost, mfactor etc, but it was clear that this was a great price. You need the owner incentive. The residual was 75% and I can't positively quote the Mfactor, but I think the incentive was for .0004 (.96% interest rate). This was after returning an 05 volvo s60 and was looking at an S40, but was quoted best price for a base S40 at $385 per month. Not much of a chance anyone goes for that-maybe that is why no one was there on a Saturday while the BMW dealer was loaded with customers.

Hi kpj. BMW's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different.
 
BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 BMW X3 with 15,000 miles per year are .00240 and 62%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '08 X5 3.0si are .00200 and 53%, respectively on models that have the free Premium Package. The money factor is reduced by .00080 for non-Premium Package models.
 
BMW was providing a money factor reduction on select models for returning BMW FS lessees, but I have not seen anything about it lately so it might not still be available.
