BMW 428i Gran Coupe lease -- need help!

This is in Northern CA.
Lease 39 months, 10K miles
2015 Gran Coupe. Luxury line/Premium package/metallic paint
MSRP: 45,700
Selling price $43,012
Sales Tax: 3773
reg and other fees: 500
Residual: 62%/28,334
money factor: .00170
Then on the email the guy writes: Dealer fees are listed below plus 200 Profit on ACQ fee and money factor reserves of 40 basis points
He then quotes lease price as follows:
2000 down: 556 a month
4000 down 499 a month
6000 down 443 a month
This is all supposedly based on pricing it off the nationally advertised leasing deal which includes $1000 holiday discount.
I assume the money down includes an acquisition fee (725 + 200 which he does list as profit) and some cap cost reduction. Dealer has told me that he's pricing off the national deal and that he can't do anything more. I don't mind the 200 but I feel like something is not right here. He seems to be acknowledging that they have increased the money factor. I have seen talk above about multiple security deposits (that's new to me) and what seems to be a preference not to have cap cost reduction down payment (which is my preference) so I'd like to structure me deal that way.
Any help appreciated.

If this is the best he can do, you should find another dealer. The money factor "reserve" is a mark-up for extra profit, as well. The base MF is .00130. There is also a $1000 Holiday Credit incentive from BMW on this model, making your effective discount from MSRP about $1700.
Disregard the sales tax amount. It isn't relevant for a lease. CA only charges tax on upfront amounts, and then on the monthly payment.
Also, he says he is pricing off the national deal, but the advertised prices don't include mark-ups on the MF and the acq.fee.
I'd want my deal to look like this:
MSRP: 45,700
Selling price $42,000 (6% off, then $1000 credit)
Acq.fee: $725
CAP cost $42,725
Residual: 62%/28,334
money factor: .00130
Payment = $461.37/mo.+tax
(assuming 8.5% tax) About $500/mo. with tax.
Due at signing: 1st payment, $500 title/registration/doc fees $1000 total.
So... $1000 due at signing and $500/mo.
Add 7 MSDs at $500/ea. ($3500), and the money factor drops to .00081 and the payment drops to $426.55/mo.+tax = $463/mo. with $4500 due at signing.
If your tax rate is higher or lower than 8.5%, then adjust accordingly.
This scenario only leaves about $500 profit for the dealer...That might not be enough to get the deal done, but it's certainly where I would start. Every $500 higher on the selling price raises the payment by about $14.38 post-tax At last count, there is a BMW dealer for every 20 residents in California.. shop around..

My dilemma is that I'm in an Audi lease that's up in May with 4 payments left. The BMW dealer said they would cover 1/2 the remaining payments, which is good, but then what do I do with the Audi? Will they take it back early? I'm tempted to keep it, but I don't need the extra car (nor the insurance payment). I thought about transferring it to friend/family so they basically have a free and nice car for 5 months, but Audi won't let you transfer leases with that little time left.
Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks,

Lease 39 months, 10K miles
2015 428xi Gran Coupe
Packages: Premium, Technology, Driver assistance
MSRP: $50,050
Selling price $47,753
Sales Tax: 7%
Money factor: 0.00081 (with 7 security deposits or $4,200). 0.00131 without MSD
Monthly payment: $589
Does this look like a good deal? I haven't yet negotiated on the selling price. Also, do the incentives for January 2015 look any better than those in the past couple of months?
Lastly, when given the choice, should I roll in the fees and taxes into the monthly payment OR should I pay it all upfront?
Thanks.
With your MSRP and selling price, along with the base (pre MSD) MF of .00131 and 39/10 residual of 62%, I get a pre-tax payment of only $531.98, or $569.21 with 7% tax.
Regarding fees and taxes, it doesn't change the total cash outlay for the lease, just the calculus of how the monies are paid.
I don't have any detailed information on lease cash for January, so cannot comment on whether they are better than December or not.

I am in FL and would like to know if this is a good lease deal:
2016 428i GC
Packages: driver assistance and sport line
MRSP: 44,495.00
Selling Price: 43,295
Terms: 10k miles/year
Cap cost reduction: $5,000 includes dealer fees, tax, tag, etc.
Security deposit: $0
Monthly lease payment: $499 including tax
Lease end residual: $25,807
MF: .00130
Does this sound right?
Thanks.
And, we don't recommend making any sort of down payment on a lease other than tax, tags, fees - if the car is stolen or totaled, you lose that money.

I am trying to get my payment in the $350-$400 range. Is this something you that you think is achievable without putting money down?
What kind of numbers would I be looking at for something in this price range?
Based on this offer, what are some things I can negotiate on to get my close to this price point?
I have been wondering if a 2015 model would get me closer to this price range, any ideas?
Thanks.
Under $400/mo? Seems like a stretch on a car that stickers for $44K.
Yes, a leftover 2015 might get you a bigger discount from sticker. Every $1000 off reduces your pre-tax payment $28/mo for a 36 month lease.
