No problem thewyz. Unfortunately, you cannot deal directly through BMW Financial Services. You have to go through a BMW dealer to lease your new Z4. The marking-up of vehicles' lease money factors is not required by BMW. While many dealers mark factors up, if it comes down to selling a car or not selling a car most will do away with the mark-up and use the buy rate money factor to calculate a vehicle's payment.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Hi Frank. The fact that there are no other BMW dealers within 100 miles doesn't help your bargaining position any. As you seem to already be aware, it appears as though there is some money factor mark-up going on with your deal. $2,500 under dealer invoice would be a great deal for a 2005 Z4 2.5i because there is only $2,500 dealer cash on it right now. However, it looks as though you are getting the 3.0L model. BMW is currently providing $4,500 dealer cash on the '05 Z4 3.0i, which means that you are really getting this car for around $2,000 over invoice. I suppose that this isn't bad given the lack of competition in your area, but I have definitely seen better deals on this car.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their valuable information that we all can learn from......    Secondly, I need some numbers and opinions.......    This is what I want to order - 2005 Z4 2.5i Toledo Blue Metallic (Exterior) Beige leather (Interior) Light Popular Grain Wood Trim Black fully-auto soft-top Power front seats MANUAL TRANSMISSION Wind Deflector    This is the dealer's offer: $34,365 plus Tax 6%, New tag retail $250.00, Transfer $150.00, Dealer Fee $379.50, Lemon Law fee $2.00, Tire,Battery fee $6.50. If you Lease there is a Lease Fee of $70.49 to the State of Florida.    Questions: 1- what amount is the sales tax applied to (cap cost, lease cost, etc.)? 2- what are the residual values for 36, 39 and 48 month leases? what should money factors be, respectively? 3-TMV 'What Others are Paying' is $35,106. Is this a good deal? Thank you!

My apologies for not checking this forum in its entirety... you do not need to post the residuals and money factors again! I found them in a previous message.

HI therose400. I am not personally all that familiar with how sales tax is calculated on leased vehicles in your state, but you may be able to find out additional information on this subject by visiting one of the following sites: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles or State of Florida Department of Revenue.   BMW just introduced a new lease program for the month of October a few days ago. It is now pushing 30 month leases of the 2005 Z4 instead of 24 month leases. Let me know if you would like me to give you an idea of what the new program is like.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#33 of 612 30 month Z4 lease by therose400 Oct 04, 2005 (5:28 am)
Car_Man,   Sure, I'd like to know what the 30 month lease program is about. Thanks!

Replying to: Car_man (Aug 31, 2005 2:15 am) Car_man   My 2003 Z4 (3.0) lease expires 1/06. When my old Z3 lease was up, I leased it again for a second 36 month term, and cut my payments in half. What is your opinion about leasing my Z4 again when this lease expires? Do you have any good suggestions for lease expiration options, other than purchasing the car and keeping/or re-selling or signing up for a new car lease?

Replying to: baasten (Oct 06, 2005 10:00 am) The 2006 Z4 doesn't start production until January......
