Hi garota. What you were told about the dealer cash not being available on 2007 models is correct. While I am not intimately familiar with what the inventory situation is like for this model in your area, I suspect that most dealers probably are running fairly low on leftover 2006 Z4s by now. I actually was a little surprised when BMW initially introduced its aggressive promotion on the 2006 Z4 because most of the dealers in my area did not even have many in inventory back then.
 
As far as the specific deal that you were quoted goes, I believe that the car that you described has a spread of slightly over $3,000 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price. You are only being given a $1,000 discount on it. Furthermore, BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for this car is only .00150 for consumers who pay a security deposit at lease signing and .00165 for consumers who opt to have their deposit waived (returning lessees get it waived for free). It appears as though the dealer that you are working with is marking this car's money factor up to add additional hidden, back-end profit to your deal. If I was in your shoes, I would shop around to see if I could find a dealer that was willing to use this car's buy rate to calculate its monthly payment and to provide me with a larger discount than $1,000.

Hi holoduke. OK, so you were offered a 2006 BMW Z4 3.0si that has an MSRP of $48,220 for $38,152. BMW was providing $7,000 dealer cash on this car, so that means you are being given a dealer discount of a little over $3,000 on it. This car probably has a spread of around $4,200 or so between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price, so the price that you were quoted is probably around $1,200 over dealer invoice. This isn't bad, but I would not be surprised if there was still $500 or so left to work with there. Hopefully you finalized this deal in December. Rumor has it that BMW pulled the plug on its dealer cash support on 2006 models. If that is the case, this car is going to be a whole lot more expensive to lease now than it was when you received this quote.

#369 of 707 Confused! by tnoxid

Hi Car Man,
 
I'm looking at leasing a 2007 Z4 3.0 Convertible, with the following spec / terms:
 
Premium
Sport
Sat Nav
15K MPA
36 Months
Down Payment $2.5K
 
I live in S. FL. and I have excellent credit. Although I don't have an actual quote at this time, is it possible to give me an estimate of what a monthly payment might look like on a lease similar to the one I describe above?
 
Thanks in advance.

This may, indeed, be repetitive but I am wondering about leasing a 2007 Z4 3.0si, from a dealership in Honolulu, Hawaii:
1. the option of 24 month versus the 36 (there is a 39 month promotion, is that correct?)
2. Some of the cars available have more options than I want, so is it reasonable to bargain for a lesser amount (I live in Hawaii and heated seats are not exactly in demand)
3. for the bottom line, I am being quoted on one car $615.52 for a 39 month lease, with 12,000 mile allowance per year. The options are auto transmission, premium package, premium sound (standard I am told), leather, and xenon lights. There is no down payment, but of course one month lease in advance, and the applicable taxes (in Honolulu the tax is 4.67%), and so the total initial payment is $615.52
Thank you for your advice about this pricing.
