Residual = 63% and MF is .00081 after 7 MSDs. With this monthly payment comes to 349$. Is taxes and fees is higher for NJ? Usually how much will be coming as taxes and fees?
NJ calculates taxes for the entire lease up front. Customer can either roll that into the cap or pay it up front.

Hi, got quoted the following for an USED 2014 x1 35i.
MSRP $47,700 / Selling price $39,700 / Drive Off: $1042 / 7 MSD’s: $3850 / Lease for 36 months with 18K miles per year /Payments of $499+ Tax / MF is at .00081 / Residual: 57%
Can do better ?
Thanks!
Do you think is the deal good or standard one? Or how much better we can do to make it a better one?
Thanks again for ur help!!!
The only way to lower the payment now is to get a lower cap cost. You can put money down to do that, but we don't recommend it. If the vehicle is stolen or totaled, you are out that money.
$349/mo for a car that stickers at $45K is a pretty great deal.

Hello, looking for august numbers for both the 2014 320i RWD and 2014 328i RWD.
36 months
10k 12k 15k /year
are 2015's already available?
Thank you!
12K miles/yr, 36 months
... and question about MSD's. If i were to sell my car before the end of the lease to possible gain equity will i still receive the refund of the MSD?
As noted, MF is .00130. 36/12 RV for 328i is 62% with $2000 lease cash, for 335i it is also 62% but only $1750 lease cash.

.00130 MF for both.
36/15 RV for 320i is 61% with $1000 lease cash.
36/15 RV for 328i is 60% with $2000 lease cash.
Add 2% for 12K and 3% for 10K RV
I believe you will get the MSD monies back at the end of the lease, regardless of how it ends.

Base MF is .00130 this month, so your dealer is trying to make a bit of extra money off of you.
36/12 residual is 63%; add 1% if you want 10K miles. No incentives or lease cash that I see; use the shopping tools at the top of the page to confirm.
If you want a 2014 model, now is the time to act. Pickings will only get slimmer as time goes on.

The numbers work out - sort of. When I use all the numbers you've provided, I get a payment of $320.76/mo, so a little bit more than what you've got.
I would double check with the dealer that their quote of $40,475 is before the incentives are applied.
I can't confirm the ED base of of .00160 - perhaps my co-host, who is more familiar with BMW programs, can chime in.

Hey everyone, I'm so glad that I found this very helpful website and have learnt a lot by reading others' posts. I was hoping that some of the gurus/experts here could help me understanding how to use the lease payment calculator myself.
http://www.edmunds.com/calculators/car-lease.html
I'm looking at a 328i Xdrive fully loaded MSRP $53325 and Sale Price of $47000. From my reading, for a 36/10 lease, the residual value is $53325 * .64 = $34128. The lowest MF I could get is .00081 with 7 MSD. I entered all the numbers at
http://www.edmunds.com/calculators/car-lease.html, with $2000 "Incentives and Rebates", I get a monthly payment of $366. Is this correct? If not, could you please let me know where it went wrong? I'm in Oregon, so no sales tax.
Also, what is the typical acquisition fee for 328i Xdrive? Does this fee go into my monthly payment or due at signing? Do the title and registration fee due at the signing?
Do the dealers still honor first time buyer incentives or college graduates incentives?
Sorry for having so many questions. This is going to be my first car and I'm getting very excited. Thank you for your answers and help in advance!
Not sure where you went wrong, but when I plug in your numbers I get a pre-tax payment of $423.27 for 36 months. My guess is that the $2000 incentive is already factored into the sale price of $47,000.
Base acquisition fee is $725 - dealer can mark it up to $925. Can either be rolled into the lease or paid up front.
Use the Incentives menu option from the "Car Research" tab at the top of the page for a full list of available incentives from BMW this month.

Got an offer for 2014 BMW 328i xDrive
MSRP is 44500
Selling price is 40500
Residual is 28035.00
Money Factory is .00150
Sales tax is 1305.29
License fees are 75
Bank Fee is 925
36 months at 12k miles per year, the payment would be 521.66 tax included, no money down. 596.66 due at signing (first payment and license plate fees)
Any comments? The dealer do not want to low the selling price, MF and bank fee. I am in Ohio, anyone get better deals around ohio area?
Thanks
Michaell- I'm jumping over from the A4 forum to ask you about this quote for a 328ix. Seems much move above-board than the A4... Thoughts on this deal? Looks like I have wiggle room with the MF and with the sales price.
MSRP: $47,350
Sales Price: $42,941
Payment: $537
Residual: $28,883
MF: .0015
MPY: 15K
Term: 36 months
Downpayment: $0
MSD Reduction: .00007 each
Can't speak to how good (or not good) the price is - use the tools at the top of the page to help out.
As you noted, the MF is marked up from the base .00130.
BMW does inflate their residuals to make the payment look better than Audi. However, the downside is that the actual residual at the end of the lease term is almost always less than the number on the contract. That is an issue only if you want to purchase it at the end of the lease.

It helps to introduce some competition.. Most BMW dealers will try to mark up the MF and acquisition fee. You have to be willing to shop elsewhere.

Been quoted the following:
2014 335i Sport
MSRP = 52,625
discounted = 3,563
Sale Price = 49,062
aftermarkets = 398.95
-net trade allowance = 1,000
-customer cash = 1,000
36 mos lease
10K miles/yr
Residual = 63% (the residual on the quote sheet is a % of the MSRP, when the real residual is coming off the sale price - which should it be as this drastically impacts payment)
MF = .00170 (this we know is marked up .0004
Monthly Pymt = 679.01 w/ tax
Besides MF, where else can I negotiate this lease? Is BMW really pushing the 2014's off the lot? I'll take 1 but they need to come down a lot imo.
Thanks!!
The only two variables in a lease are the MF and the negotiated selling price.
As noted, your quote is using an inflated MF; I would let the dealer know you won't sign any deal that has the MF marked up.
As far as selling price, I would shoot for invoice minus any available incentives. Each $1000 represents a $28/mo savings on your payment for 36 months.

Per BMW dealer- they state the .0017 MF is their standard markup that they can't come off of. They are making deals in price of the car so can't change the markup to the base of .0013.
BS? Legit?
Their choice. If they offered you the base MF then they wouldn't be able to discount the car as much from sticker.
Remember, they aren't the Red Cross - dealers are in business to make a profit. We're here to help figure out how much is an acceptable amount - to you.

Agreed & understood.
The selling price of this car is 49,062.
The Edmunds invoice I got was 48,526.
I did have a 300 difference in MSRP so I see about $800 above where they could be + the inflated MF. They likely could go a bit lower ?
The only way to know is to ask - $800 equates to $22/mo savings on your payment for a 36 month lease.

Hey looking to lease a 3 series. Can i get the MF and RV in NYC for:
320i 10k/36months
328i 10k/36months
Is there a difference for 2014 vs 2015 in rates? Thanks!
2014 - .00130 and 64%. $1000 option credit.
2014 - .00130 and 63%. $2000 option credit.
MF is the same for 2015, but residuals are 2% less for the 320i and 1% less for the 328i (!). No incentive cash on 2015, either.

So, I know this probably sounds silly, but how does one go about negotiate selling price. I currently lease a BMW and the lease is up in October. I am able to get a new one now, but I was looking at another model vehicle because of cost, but after all of this research from this site, it looks like I can get a great deal on a BMW lease as well. My lease now is $500/mo (rolled over old vehicle). There is a 328xi listed at MSRP $44,275. What's a good starting point? I have top tier credit and do not want to put any money down, but am willing to pay fees up front if that helps.
Use the shopping tools at the top of the page to have Edmunds' help you determine a target selling price.
At the moment, invoice minus incentives seems to be about right.

Okay, so is it realistic to get a price of $375/mo for a 2014 BMW 328i xDrive w/SULEV Sedan with NAV 10K/yr, MSRP $44275? Again with No Money down and top Tier Credit? That's if I shoot for a $40K selling price? There's also a $2K Build out credit, correct? Could I use that after negotiating the selling price?
I am back... New deal on the table.
This car is a 328i x drive sportsline, it has premium pkg, cold weather pkg and Navigation pkg. Leather w/red highlights, metallic paint.
The current offer is $49475 list, sales price is $45675. I am getting $11k on a trade, $7300 is what I owe, the equity of $2700 is going to cap reduction so I can get my payment low enough.
Residual is $31169 (63%), MF is .00170 and he says he wont move the MF because that is his profit margin. Tax title license is $892. I owe $419.11 at signing. They claim that the $2000 build out is already on the discount, but then if that is the case I don't think the car is discounted enough. I honestly need my payment to be under $400 but I don't know how to get there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is for 36/12 lease
If you are able to deduct the $2K build out cash from a negotiated price of $40,000, and using the 36/10 residual of 64% with the base MF of .00130, I get a pre-tax payment of $354.68/mo.
There will be some up front fees you would be responsible for, but that assumes no money used as a down payment.

As you've noted, the MF is marked up. Dealers often say they can either give you the base MF or a good discount from sticker but not both.
If I take sales price and apply the $2700 of trade equity and the $2000 rebate, I get a pre-tax payment of $395.03. You can optionally use the trade equity as MSDs to lower the MF.
But, not sure you can get your payment, with tax, to be under $400.

So do you think the sales price is still to high?
I'm not in the market for a BMW, so I can't really say. All you can do is make your offer to the dealer and see what they say.
And, a little competition never hurt. Reach out to a second BMW dealer.
