Is it your intention to make the deal after 1/1/15? If so, it's very premature to discuss any numbers pertaining to the deal, as so much can change in the next 5-6 months.
For the time being, use the shopping tools at the top of the page to figure out your target price.

How far out from our desired pickup time should we start negotiations? We are already planning to spend June and July 2015 in Europe.

Couldn't tell you .. haven't done ED (I'd like to someday, however!).
You are better off asking your local dealer about the ED program .. or see what the bmwusa.com website has to say.

August. lease rates for 328i x-drive, 36/10, in Boston ma?
Thanks.
Leased a 335xi with premium, cold weather, navi, driver assist, sport line and sport transmission, Silver/black for 36 mos @12k/yr with Msrp $55325. Selling price $49395, before applying my Ultimate drive rebate of $1000. Sales tax 7.25% = $3600. (IL). Added tire, wheel, dent repair, windshield repair roadside assist etc for $995. 7 MSDs at $4550. 0 down. MF 0.00081. Residual about $34000. Due at inception= $5500 including MSDs, first month's payment and dealer fees, title, registration. Monthly $610. Many hurdles (bait and switch from Truecar, inflated MF- brought down from 0.0017 to 0.0013, acquisition from $925 to $725, insurance from $1495 to $995). Happy. What do you guys think?
I can't see where you could have done better ... enjoy!

Just leased a 2014 320x
0 down
MSRP: 38445
invoice: 35840
Selling price: 35,575 (includes build out cash)
MF: .0013
7 MSDs brought MF down to .00081
Residual 64%
Acquisition fee: 925 (ugh! Didnt notice the mark up until it was too late)
Monthly payment (including all tax-- I had a trade in): $385.65
1000 build out cash
500 USAA rebate
How did I do?
The $200 extra isn't that big of a deal. The MF savings with MSD more than makes up for it.
Good deal! Enjoy!

Be aware that BMW will only give you 2 weeks insurance in Europe, you should really contact a CA who is very familiar with Ed. 2 months lead time to finalize the deal is usually sufficient.
As the moderator advised, large down payments on a lease are a bad idea. Once you drive off the lot, anything happens to the car, you are out your entire down payment. You should take the money and put it toward MSD's( Multiple Security Deposits) which will lower the money factor. Why would anyone lease a car in Florida and pay that outrageous dealer fee.... BTW, you don't even have the sell price in your in your offer details, what is the money factor???
So, as the dealership I'm working with is unable to find the exact configuration of 2014 328i xdrive I'm looking for anywhere in the region, we started looking at builds but BMW is only building 2015s now, not 2014s.
Can you tell me what the mf and residual on a 2015 328i x-drive 36 mo / 10k year lease would be? Also, what sort of lease incentives are applicable to the 2015s (I've been told the $2k build out cash is not). Thanks!
.00130 and 62%. No lease cash on the 2015's.

Looking to lease a 2014 328d xDrive Sedan for 36 months w/ 12,000 miles per year. The MSRP is $49,225 and has an Edmunds "Price Promise" of $45,725.
Can someone tell me what the residual percentage is, MF, and incentives are for this vehicle? I believe the incentives is $2,500 but looking for someone to confirm.
Is the residual calculated on the MSRP or the negotiated selling price? I thought I read that it was on the MSRP but wanted to double check.
Do you think I can do better than $45,725? If so, what should I shoot for?
The Edmunds lease calculator comes back with a payment of $470 but wanted to poll the group to see if that is an accurate figure.
Sorry for the barrage of questions but I want to get my facts in order before I go to the dealership.
.00130 and 63%. I'm showing $1750 in total incentives ($750 build out cash, $1000 eco credit).
MSRP is calculated as a percentage of the MSRP.
Can't answer that - I'm not in the market. You've used the pricing tools to get Edmunds price estimate. For 2014, I would think invoice minus incentives.
Using the MSRP and selling price you've provided, I get a pre-tax payment of $508.46. If I back out the $1750 in incentives from your selling price, the pre-tax payment drops to $457.57/mo.

Thanks!
Thank you @Michaell! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to help me understand the process a bit more. I'll keep the group posted on how this plays out. Thanks again!
My deal fell through. , I wanted to be under $400 and we were $30 bucks away. I know I passed up on a pretty good buy but the car was missing a few options I wanted and it had a few I didn't need so why pay for them? At least that's what I keep telling myself. That $2k build out also really helped me out and that's gone now as well. Not many 2014 left around my area so I am not sure what my next step is.
Sorry to hear that ... yes, pickings are getting slim on the 2014's, so to get the build out cash you'll have to compromise on color, options, etc. ... or wait until the 2015's have been out long enough to have some sort of incentive on them. Don't know when that would be, however.

I too am looking into leasing a 2014 328d xdrive. I am bummed, it looks like the lease deal that ended July 31st was a better deal. What changed? Your answer to coryd2 regarding the monthly lease payment, was that without factoring in a down payment? Thank you for the help!
Hello!
One of the vehicles I'm interesting in leasing is a 2014 328i xDrive Sedan for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year. Would I be able to get the August residual percentage, money factor, and incentives for this vehicle? Also, I'm interested in using multiple security deposits (MSDs) to lower my MF. Could I get BMW's program details for this?
Thanks in advance!
I think the residual went down this month; MF is the same at .00130.
I believe that I ran the payment model with the $2000 down payment factored into the net cap cost.

You can make up to 7 MSDs, each of which reduce the MF by .00007. 7 MSDs would take the base MF down to .00081.

How do the MSD's work? Was is better to buy in July than now? Thank you so much
MSD's are multiple security deposits - each one, in the amount of the payment rounded up to the next $25, reduces the MF by .00007.
I can't answer the July vs. August statement ... I wasn't in the market.

Does the money factor/residual tend to increase or decrease as it gets closer to the new model year?
Both tend to go down to help clear out the old model year stock. BMW doesn't really change their MF very much .. .00130 is their standard, by and large.

What is the selling price and MSRP? Lease term and miles per year?
We don't recommend making a down payment on a lease - if the car is stolen or totaled, you would be out the money.

Is the residual the only difference between 10k miles per year and 15k miles per year? 63% residual for 10k/year and 61% residual for 15k/year? Which BMW model has the best residual?
There is a 3% difference between 10K and 15K.
For the 3 series, there are a number of models with the 61% residual for 36mo/15K - 320i, 320i xdrive, 328i xdrive, 328d, 328d xdrive, 328i xdrive Gran Turismo, 335i xdrive Gran Turismo, 328i xdrive wagon.

Hey guys, I got this quote for a 328i xDrive Wagon 2014.
This is what the dealer offered:
Selling price: $47,615
Residual: $31,209 (.61)
MF: .00081 (7 MSD)
Term: 36
Mileage: 15k/year
Lease: $566.32
Seems like the lease is very high.
What do you think about this?
Thanks!
Using the MSRP of $52,015 and the selling price of $47,615 with your MF and residual, I get a pre-tax payment of $505.54.
What state is this?

Hi Michaell,
Is it common practice or generally fine to lease a car from a state where you don't currently reside in? I live in Connecticut but on the border of CT and New York and I'm seeing better vehicle deals and selections in New York.
I wouldn't want to try leasing a car from NY though if I have to deal with state registration issues, NY taxes, additional DMV fees or trips to the DMV, etc. I just don't know if it's worth the hassle or know what I'll get into if I move forward and try to lease a car from another state.
Thanks!
Thanks Michaell! it's in California.
Where states connect I suspect there is a lot of cross border shopping. I don't know the ins and outs of the licensing / registration / tax implications of doing so, however. I recommend you seek out the DMV websites of both CT and NY to see what they have to say on the subject.
