Any word on the September incentives and lease numbers on the '05 Z4?

Hi Carman:
 
I have never leased a car before and checked with the BMW dealer in my area (St. Petersburg, FL) and they told me they have a lease "deal" as follows: BMW Z4 2.5 $329.00 per month based on MSRP of $36,270.00 24 months/10,000 miles per year with 4,462.00 required at lease inception.
 
From reading your other posts I've learned that the money factor and residual the dealers use can make a huge difference in what you end up paying. Can you tell me what money factor and residual I should be considering based upon the information I have posted. I would consider 24 or 36 months to lease. I would also consider 10,000 or 12,000 miles per year for a 24 or 36 month lease.
 
They also have the BMW Z4 3.0 for $359.00 MSRP $43,770.00 24 month/10,000 mile per year lease with $4,454.00 due at lease inception.

Hi foxyroxy. 24 months is definitely the way to go if you want to lease a 2005 BMW Z4 this month. BMW's lease money factor for 2 year leases is half of its factors for other terms. If you were to lease a 2005 BMW Z4 3.0 or 2.5 (their programs are the same) through BMW Financial Services right now for 24 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00100 and 65%, respectively. The factor for an otherwise identical lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be the same, but its residual value would be 1% higher.

Hi, Car_Man,
 
Are lease factors on all BMW models lower for 24 months, or just the Z-series? Any other incentives/deals I should look at?
 
(I am trying to compare September lease deals on the 3-series, 5-series, and Z-series to determine which is the best value. I will go with the 3-series unless I can find a great deal on the base 5 or Z.)
 
Thanks for your help.

#7 of 702 Z4 and X3 have great short term lease rates by vsaxena

The Z4 and the X3 have great 24 month lease rates. I think you can lease a Z4 3.0 which stickers at $47K for around $450/pm (no cap cost reduction) for a 24 month/10KM/yr lease if you negotiate well ($1000 dealer profit). There are no special rates for 2006 3/5 series

You don't want to lease a Z4 for 48 months... All of the lease support is on the 24 month and 36 month leases... It would cost much more per month to go with a 48 month term...
 
Z4 3.0i
 
24 mo/15k mi – 63% Residual Value – Money Factor .00100 Base Rate
36 mo/15k mi – 56% Residual Value – Money Factor .00200 Base Rate
48 mo/15k mi – 36% Residual Value – Money Factor .00280 Base Rate
 
Add 2% to all residuals for 12K mi./yr...

#10 of 702 05 BMW Z4 2.5 lease question by slaughter5111

Sep 11, 2005 (6:02 am)

I need help here figuring out how much a lease payment should be. Assuming that I negotiate the price of my Z4 with options down to $37000 for the car.
 
then I want 36 months, 0 down, and 15000 miles per month.
 
Assuming that I can get those terms what should my payment be based on the car price of $37000
 
Thanks for your help!
