Ok....you don't have all of the info for a lease...biggest is what is the money factor MF, the base MF is .00125. There are also other fees involved and it would behoove you to read up on BMW leases.
The absolute best market to lease a BMW in the US is SoCalifornia. I would email the build of the car you want to either Greg at Pacific BMW, Justin at New Century BMW or Jon at Santa Barbara BMW. They are all sponsor on the Bimmerfest forum. Any of them will give you a great deal and arrange for the PCD delivery.
If you go on the above website, there is a topic devoted to PCD delivery. I would also read up on MSD's, if you look at my earlier posts, you will be able to learn about them.
Good luck
PS stay out of your local dealers, unless you want to get hosed!
First time leasee and wanted to get people's thoughts on this deal. I'm in So Cal.
Leasing a 2014 328i 36 mo 10k miles/year. Nav, heated seats, & moonroof.
MSRP 42,275
Inital Cap Cost 37800

Lease end value - 25787.75
Money Factor .0014 (based on other posts this should be .00125)
Monthly payment - 428.36 (including 9% sales tax)
Cust Cash Down - $2000
Sales guy said he could try to get to $400/mo if I signed by month end. How good of a deal is this?
Thanks!

cold weather package
0 down
taxes and acquisition fee and bank fee MVC etc total 2500
and 375 a month could you guys please let me know if its a good deal its my first time leasing bmw
Send your build to either Greg at Pacific BMW or Justin at New Century Bmw and get a quote from them.
Also, there is a wealth of info on BMW leases on the Bimmerfest forum, including using MSD's to lower your monthly payment. It looks like you are possible putting money down to de cap your lease, very bad move.
If you come back with the above numbers, I can tell you whether it is a good deal or not.
Do yourself a big favor, go onto the Bimmerfest forum and read about leasing. There is a ton of good info to help educate you on BMW leasing. Believe me, you will gain a lot for a small amount of time invested.
MSRP 40370
Sale Price :37120
Residual :66%
Money factor :0.0096
Down payment: 2200 (Includes First month payment, doc fees, Tax and all that)
Monthly payment including tax : 360
It seems, usually, people are able to get a 200-300$ over invoice (+ TTL) when they buy. Considering various rebates (holiday case of 1250$, 500$ turnkey cash), what price can I expect to realistically target?
I am in SoCal.
I send my friends to the Costco web site and have them build the car they want, the web site shows invoice since that is part of the Costco auto buying service. This way they have an excellent idea if the dealer if giving them a fair deal or not.
I admit that I find it somewhat sad and little humorous, with all the info out there, that people fail to try to educate themselves. However, I got hosed by my own lack of knowledge on my first BMW, back in 2005 and wished that someone could of pointed me in the right direction.
36mo lease

msrp 44,925
sell price 39,395
alpine white w/black interior
MF 0.76 (after 7 MSD)
Residual factor 60%
my down payment was $2000, but once I asked for MSD and MF went down from 1.25 to 0.76, there's another 3150 to pay. so i have to pay $5150 at signing, but supposedly the 3150 I will get back guaranteed at the end of lease.
what do you guys think? would you recommend using MSD's if i have the cash? do you ACTUALLY get it back 100% and there are no gimmicks??? that's a lot of money out of pocket and want to make sure. thanks for your advise.
Finally, do yourself a favor and email Greg at Pacific BMW and/or Justin at New Century with your build and get a comparison quote. You could also try Jon at Santa Barbara BMW, I believe he is blowing out the inventory there, with great deals.
also, I just discovered that this is the last year for the 3 series model and it'll be replaced with the 4 series next year. would that make it a good or bad thing?

I urge you not to do a capital reduction, all you are doing is paying the rent(lease) upfront and risk the loss if something happens. Plus you have to pay the tax on the capital reduction. the bank fee and the acquisition fee are the same thing....
Cap reduction is like going to rent a house and deciding the monthly rent is too high. Would you pay a chunk of money upfront to make your monthly rent lower? Doesn't make a lot of sense when you look at it that way.
Your lease-end charges are your lease-end charges... It doesn't matter if you have $500 on deposit or $4000.. No one will jack up the charges to steal your deposit..

Any good or should I try for lower?
Spend a little time doing research, you can save thousands....Offhand, the price looks high, but you need to know the numbers!!
Sunny48, yes, they have jacked the money factor, the base rate is .00125, they have also raised the acquisition fee by $200, up from the base of $725. If you want to buy in the NE, I would try NJ. You can use Multiple Security Deposits, which in the range you are looking at would save you an additional $50 per month in payments. I have written on this forum about MSD's and it is one of the great benefits of leasing with BMW FS. If you check the forum Bimmerfest, I believe there are several reputable CA's in NJ, that will give you a fair deal.
Can anyone tell me what the money factor and residuals are for 36 month 10,000 miles/year
of 2014 328xi and 335xi? Thanks so much
Hello,
Would someone please clarify how BMW Holiday Credits/Build Out Credits and Turn-Key Rebates work?
If I have been reading the information on this site correctly, it seems like incentives (credits) are subtracted from the price of the vehicle (MSRP), eventually bringing it to the final price (negotiated price)... Is this correct or are these credits usually subtracted from the total purchase... (meaning the contract)?
Also, how do Turn-Key Rebates work? Does the buyer pay the payment then it is applied to the account as a credit?
Sorry about all the questions, but I am new to this and want to know everything... I know some of the questions might seem silly...
Thanks!
Hi Guys, I'm new to leasing. Looking at a 2014 535i. I've been quoted a money factor of 0.00165. I thought the base MF was 0.00125. When I asked the dealer, they said "well they have to make some money somewhere". I'm at invoice + 1000 before incentives, and still hoping to get them down a bit. Also in NorCal. Is this normal - the dealer "marks up" the MF?
Yes, it's "normal"... so is their BS answer. You negotiated what you thought was a good price, then they bumped you $1000 on the finance side. It's typical. I've never paid a marked up MF, yet... but, I'd do it for a corresponding reduction in selling price, assuming I was happy with the deal, already.

Bailaowai...It is all bs on their part...contact Jon at Santa Barbara BMW or Greg at Pacific BMW and they will hook you up with a straight deal. I have heard from many people that the Nor Cal dealers will not give you a great deal.
ghla59..all the incentives and credits are taken out after you reach a deal. However, shady dealers will tell you, that it is included in the deal. If you are in LA, contact Greg at Pacific BMW, he will give you an honest, no BS deal. Turn key, they make the payment for you....
Thanks konacoug! The information you provide here is really helpful and very informative...I asked because most people whom I spoke with didn't seem to know exactly how such incentives are subtracted, so I didn't get much help when I was shopping for and leased my 2013 328i a couple of months ago ( I know I should have done more research then), but since another family member is considering a BMW, I wanted to clearly understand everything just to be able to help her negotiate a better deal overall... We sure will be contacting Greg!
I know it's too late to reflect on the deal that I got, but I was able to get the sale price of the vehicle about $7k below MSRP; $3800 below invoice, so I thought at the time (since I was in a rush and I really needed to get a car) that it was a decent discount given the base MF and a payment that I could live with, although it would have been better had I known about MSDs then! Could that mean that all the credits were already factored into that sale price? Thanks again!!
signed a new lease for 320i. How does this look?
2014 320i with moonroof
MSRP:34725
Sale price: 31300
Financed:31300
Residual:65%
Term: 36 months; 12,000/year
Monthly Pay: 320+Tax(=348.63)
Paid 1750 at the time of signing the contract, which includes the first month's payment.
Did I do ok?
2009 Audi a4 Quattro premium plus owner Signed for a new 328i xdrive yesterday in Hartford ct. Think I got a reasonable deal so sharing the numbers. All negotiations by phone - in some cases after email enquiry. Only stepped into one dealer and had all the numbers and the specific car nailed down before doing so. Negotiating on 12/29-30 probably helped.
The car is mineral grey with premium and cold options.
Msrp 44825
Invoice 41265
Truecar quotes from dealers (including holiday credit of 1250 but not loyalty at 500 as not current owner) at 39500 (too far away/inconvenient) and two at 40800.
Also negotiated with a dealer about an hour away to 39990 with an extra detailing at first service thrown in but wasn't my my preferred color and somewhat inconvenient.
Decided upon local dealer and negotiated to 40000 including application of the 1250 holiday credit.
Am paying the local going rate for doc prep 499 and transfer of 135. Not too happy about that but felt it netted me to the target of about $500 over invoice before credits.
Will finance a significant portion at 2.99 or somewhat less.
A few thoughts on cars available - informed by reading posts here and bimmerfest...
In the end, I had decided I would splurge on this car if I could get it at 40k and felt I succeeded (despite fees and state taxes taking it to about 43500). Plan to pick it up tomorrow! Best to all with your experiences!
Thanks for your answer. I will look into NJ as I believe MSDs are not allowed in NY. I suspected the acquisition fee was jacked up.
The holidays were too hectic for me to concentrate on a car, although my husband got one. What incentives might be coming up during the winter? I will probably be ordering this car, so can wait for any. I noticed that MB had good ones last winter, so I am curious to know if BMW also offers winter enticements.
