I just ordered a 2013 X5. My dealer is quoting a money factor of .0023 for a 10,000 mph 36 month lease with 65% residual.
 
I asked him to see if he could do any better, since I am seeing .0019 online and he came back with the same (0023) rate. Is there an official BMW FS rate that I could find somewhere or can he just charge whatever rate he wants?
 
Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce. The .00190 is the dealer's buy rate. BMW Dealers are notorious for marking up vehicles' money factors to add additional hidden profit to deals. If you can't get this dealer to use the buy rate to calculate your payment, you may be able to find one that will by shopping around.

Spoke with the finance manager at the dealership. She was pretty upfront when questioned and said that the .0019 is the dealer buy rate (as you said). She said that they build in a profit to the lease by adding to that rate. I have no problem with them making a fair profit. She did imply that the dealer buy rate is what she pays BMW for the lease and at that rate there is no profit for the dealership (for the lease). I have already signed the deal for the car (and am pleased with the price) so I don't think I can find another dealer at this point. Assuming they won't come down on that rate I guess my options are purchase or finance (or pay for an expensive lease). Are there reputable third party lease offerings (and are they better)?
 
Thanks
Bruce

WOULD'NT THIS TRUE ALSO IF YOU PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND PUT MONIES DOWN? IF THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO CONSIDER THE VEHICLE A USED VEHICLE WHICH YOU COULD LOSE YOUR DOWN DEPOSIT. EXPLAIN TO ME AT THESE MSD'S. I AM LOOKING AT LEASING A 2012 X5 35d. I WAS DOING A 36 MTH LEASE WITH 15K MILES PER YEAR. JUST PLACED ORDER LAST WEEK. I WAS PLANNING ON PUTING DOWN ABOUT $6000 SO MY PYMT WOULD BE RIGHT AT ABOUT $700 A MONTH. THIS IS A 2012 X5 35D WITH PREMIUM, SPORT ACTIVITY PKG AND RUNNING BOARDS. TO KEEP MY PYMT AT ABOUT $700 A MONTH, WHAT AND HOW MUCH SHOULD I PUT DOWN AGAINST THESE MSD'S? THANKS

#1901 of 2262 LEASING 2012 BMW X5 xDrive 35d-Good Deal? by vvanvlym

Apr 23, 2012 (9:53 am)

I HAVE PLACED A ORDER FOR A 2012 BMW X5 xDrive 35d. THE MSRP IS $63,595. IT INCLUDES THE SPORT ACTIVITY & PREMIUM PKG PLUS RUNNING BOARDS. THE SELL PRICE THEY GAVE ME WAS $58,579. IS THAT A GOOD DEAL? TO KEEP MY PAYMENTS AT ABOUT $700 A MONTH, HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PUT DOWN $5789.12. I READ THAT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. IF I DO THESE MSD'S, WILL THAT BE ENOUGH TO KEEP MY PAYMENT DOWN TO $700 A MONTH FOR A 15K MILES PER YEAR, 36 MONTH LEASE?

#1902 of 2262 WHY DOES CARS.COM & BMW'S RESIDUALS DIFFER SOO MUCH? by vvanvlym

Apr 23, 2012 (5:16 pm)

CARS.COM SHOWS 2012 BMW X5 35D RESIDUAL AT 56% AT 2 YEARS AND 46% AT THREE. WHY DOES BMW ON THEIR LEASE SHOW THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE A RESIDUAL AT THREE YEARS AT 56%? THAT IS A 10% DIFFERENCE. WHICH IS PROBABLY MORE CORRECT?

What are the residual (10,000 and 12,000/year) and money factor leasing rates for 2012 and 2013 X5 xDrive35i 4dr SUV? Also, what is the savings if you provide multimonth security deposits? Also, what is the current BMW lease acquisition fee? Are there any cap reduction incentives for April? Many thanks!!!
