#203 of 227 Please help! by htownpimp786

Car Man,
 
Looking to lease a 2012 BMW 128i Coupe with 15,000 miles per year for 36-months. Could you please provide me with a residual and base MF on the vehicle? Any advantages to leasing for 36 months or 48 months? (I would go for whichever term is more advantageous)
 
Also, is the money factor .00030 lower for loyal customers? I have a household member who owns a BMW, so I'm not sure if that can be passed onto me. I own (and am trading in a Mini Cooper) that is leased with BMW Financial, so since they are the same company, would the loyalty offer work for me as well?
 
Any other incentives on the vehicle?

BMW Financial Services' April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 128i Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are .00190 and 61%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
BMW is currently only providing lease support on models for up to 42-months, so you probably don't want to lease one of its models for any longer than that.
 
I don't believe that BMW is providing the money factor reduction for loyal customers any longer.
 
There was a $500 cash incentive on leases of this car last month, but BMW did away with that cash for April.

Car_Man,
 
I am looking to lease a 128i convertible before the end of May.
 
Can please you tell me what the money factor, residual, etc. are for a 36mo. / 36K miles are (top tier credit score).
And any loan rates as well?
And whether there's other incentives ($500 dealer cash?) in Northern California.
 
Also, would these apply to a factory order placed before end of May?
 
Thanks!

Here you go crispm. BMW Financial Services' May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 128i Convertible with 12,000 miles per year are .00190 and 62%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
You are correct about the cash, BMW is currently providing $500 on this car.
 
I believe that BMW allows consumers who want to order their vehicle to lock in the current available program to use when their car arrives if they want to.
 
As far as the rates for a conventional loan go, BMW is offering 3.9% for up to 36 months or 4.5% for 37 to 72 months.

#207 of 227 Confusing performance claims by davefrick

Jul 04, 2012 (6:13 pm)

BMW literature claims the 135i goes from 0-60 in 5.1 seconds with manual and 5.0 with DCT auto transmission. Edmunds Review says 5.1 for manual and 6.2 for DCT. Such a large difference! Which is correct? I thought modern autos always outperformed manuals these days?

Hey Car_man,
 
I'm interested in possibly leasing a 2012 128i or 135i for 36 months with 15k miles/year. Can you provide July's residual and base MF for both vehicles?
 
Jon

Greetings Jon. Sorry for the delay in my response, I have been away on vacation.
 
BMW Financial Services' July buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 128i Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are .00145 and 55%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 135i Coupe are .00145 and 56%.
 
When negotiating your deal on these cars, make sure to take advantage of the $1,000 cash incentive that is currently available on them.

BMW is already taking orders on the 2013 1 Series.
 
Does anyone have any information on the residual value for a 2013 128i and the lease money factor for August?

I certainly do sdrider. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 128i Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are .00145 and 56%, respectively.
