    Hi Sil. I am sorry to say that your ability to negotiate a good discount on the 328i Coupe that you are interested in will be seriously hampered if dealers in your area do not have any in inventory. Dealers are usually much more willing to provide good dealer on vehicles that they have on their lots than ones that they have to order. The lack of availability of this car probably speaks to the high demand for it in your area. You may want to stop by the following discussion to see if any community members have had luck getting a good deal on this car in your area: "BMW 3-Series: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

    What dealership did you get your deal from? We are looking for the same car with sport/premium package and xenon lights.

    guy1974, thanks for the info!

    Yeah, I've been to London and I find a lot of things there are more expensive than in US. However, in general, the quality is better.

    Hello,

    I have been gathering a lot of information from this forum and put together a proposal based on the current .00140 36 mo. MF with security deposit and residual.

    First, they say they do not use this factor and it is better for me since I don't have to put a deposit. One dealer quoted .00155 another .00160.

    Second, they really didn't work with the Edmunds Invoice. I even took the invoice and added $580 macco plus a few hundred dollars. Still no dice.

    My question is, does anybody know a dealer in the San Francisco Bay Area that will work within the MF/Invoice figures we all know a love here at Edmunds? Second, what would be a good lease proposal for this vehicle?

    This is the car I was negotiating on today: 12K, 36 mo lease
    2007 328i sedan MSRP $39,970 Invoice at Edmunds $36,815, residual $25,181.10
    Metallic
    Sports
    Leather
    Auto
    Power Seats
    Cold Package

    Thanks for the help.

    To Canadian posters here:

    What's the best that you could do for a lease term on BMW 328i/328xi?

    I'm looking for a 328i/328xi for roughly $550 tax in, with $5,000 downpayment or security deposit. I would like this car to include the automatic plus the sunroof. Is this possible? I'm writing here from Toronto.

    Check this out:

    2007 328xi
    Premium, Sport, Cold Weather, Nav, Ipod, access, xenon, manual

    MSRP $44,525
    I Paid $41,850
    36 mos
    12000 mi
    Rate: .00165

    Nothing Down/ $823 at closing

    $557 a month

    Black with Terra Dakota Leather

    I originally was quoted on a 39 month lease, but they "didn't lock me in" while my car was being built. That program apparently expired and went to 36 months so they said they came down on the price to make up for it.

    What do you think??

    Where are you getting this deal ?

    I have a very similar setup but I'm coming in much higher, on an '07 328i manual, sport and power seats, take a look:

    2500 drive off
    36 months, 12k miles
    415 tax included
    MSRP $35770

    If I could get proof or confirmation from another dealer, my dealer would match it.

    Thx !

    Hi, the sales price looks high as you are paying just about $1000 less than MSRP. The wagon is rarer but for a 2007 (sure it isn`t a 2008 if ordered now - unless from inventory) I would expect around $1000 above invoice. Also I am from NC, you only pay tax on the lease payments and the money you put down so I don`t see why you are paying almsot $1200 upfront.

    My 2007 328i sedan 36 months, 15K a year is $466 a year and had a similar sales price. I bought from Leith BMW in Raleigh, where in NC are you?

    money factor of 0.0019
    3 yr 30k lease approx 635 mo with taxes included.

    For those looking, the 335i leases out better than the xi with a buyrate of 0.00175 and same residual, even better rates on coupes....especially the 328's.

    FYI for those that have a tough time negotiating, a costco membership gets at least $1500 off sticker, and try and stay firm on the money factor at 0.0019 ("buyrate"). When leasing, raising the finance rates is probably the single most common way of inflating your payments. Sure, they'll sell you the car at 2k off the sticker, but they'll tack on the maximum allowable percentage to the money factor (0.0004).

    If there were 2 options that I would consider a must have, it would be the ipod package, and the sports package, everything else is gravy. I'm also sure that those in bigger markets can get a much better deal then I recieved, however I would hurry as the 07s are moving well with the discounted lease reates.

    Cheers,
    Getz

    P.S.
    I can't express how much I love the ipod package (option 6FL). Make sure they give you the USB cable at no cost, as you already bought it!)

    Realneeds,

    Which dealer is giving you that money factor. The dealer I am speaking with is looking for a money factor of .0021

    My dealer wants me to put deposit on 08 328i convertible. I asked him about leasing and he said the dealership usually marks up the MF rate by .002. Does this mean I should calculate on a 24 month lease a MF of .00330? (per september MF rates)

    Can someone tell me if I have done the correct calculations:

    '08 328i Convertible MSRP $47,395 same price to buy since they won't negotiate
    24 month lease, 12k miles a year, 75% residual, .00330 MF I come up with:

    $47,395-$35546= $11,849/24= $493
    $47,395+$35,546=$82,941x.00330=$273

    $493+$273= $766 + tax per month

    thanks for any help

    Hi there. Would anyone care to check my math, so I can make sure I'm getting the correct deal?
    2007 335i, sports, premium, nav, ipod.
    MSRP = $46,900
    Sales Price = $44,395
    36 month/15k
    61% residual
    .00175 MF
    CA, so 8.25% tax.
    By my calculations, my monthly should be $612.97, or with 7 MSDs, $574.24. Is my math correct, and is the price decent ($700 over invoice including a MACO).

    Thanks!

    Does anyone know how to check the true BMW Bank Finance fee that varies from dealer to dealer. In NJ I was given prices that range from $625 to $825 and both times told that that price doesn't depend on the dealer and is set directly by BMW bank

    Getting the same car plus Sirius radio for $39070. Given the fact that radio retail for about $500 and invoice for $450; I guess it's a good price given the very few 2007 left on the market. If you have extra cash to give multiple security deposits you can lower your money factor to 0.00101 or roughly by $35/months

    From what I have read on this and other forums, BMW Bank acquisition fee is $625 and the dealer is allowed to mark it up by up to $200, which equals the higher $825.

    Is the "destination charge" listed on the BMW website when one purchases a vehicle the same terminology as the "acquisition fee" on my BMWFS leasing contract? I believe it is, but want to verify.

    Thanks.

    I don't think so..

    The destination charge is part of the MSRP (and, it's on the invoice, too). Supposedly, it is to provide transportation from port to dealer, but really, it is just a way to break down the price of the car, so the base price seems smaller.

    The acquisition fee goes to the bank that is leasing you the car (BMWFS). Sort of like an origination fee for a mortgage lender.

    The base acq.fee on all BMWFS leases is $625, but the dealer can mark it up to as much as $825 for extra profit (for the dealer).

    Oh... so the acquisition fee is a charge one only pays for leasing, but not buying.

    So one must figure up to $1175 in fees unique to BMW leasing if one must pay the "full" $825 acquisition fee (as many dealers seem to insist on the max.) plus the $350 "disposition fee."

    I think I see where the "free" maintenance comes from on the leasing end. Heh! Heh!

    Thank you, KYFDX! :)

    Hello Car Man :)

    I have somewhat limited information and am hoping you can tell me whether this deal is worth it...

    I'm currently leasing a VW with a balance of 17K. KBB says it's worth $14K.

    I got a quote from BMW for a used 2007 328xi fully loaded with premium package, steptronic transmission and 5K miles selling for $38-39K. Dealer says payment will be at around $550.

    I'm confused as to how the dealer figures the monthly rate? Do you have a lease model you can share with me that can help me sort through the numbers?

    Thanks so much :)
    K.G.
