If you are not a returning BMW FS lessee and you wish to have your vehicle's security deposit waived, BMW will do so in exchange for a .00015 bump in your money factor.

Let's take a look at the deal that you were offered. First off, it appears as though the dealer is attempting to mark up BMW Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor on you. BMW FS' current buy rate for a 36 month lease of a 2011 X5 5.0 is only 00180 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers and pay a security deposit at lease signing.
BMW will waive its security deposit requirement for free for returning lessees and in exchange for a .00015 money factor bump for non-returning lessees.
As far as the selling price that you were quoted goes, you are being given a $3,690 discount on this truck by the dealer. This truck probably has a spread of around $5,500 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. That probably puts your selling price at just under $2,000 over invoice.
If you are in an area that has a decent level of competition and you have the time to comparison shop, you may be able to beat this deal by a little. I personally would shoot for $1,000 over invoice and the use of the buy rate to calculate your payment.

Does it make more financial sense to lease a 2010 X5 or 2011 model year? I don't have visibility to the incentives or MFs that they offer on older models. Please advise.
Thanks,

Thanks for all the great info. You're always a great help. I'm on my third beemer.
I'm looking to get an 2011 X5 50i with the following options:
Cold Weather Package
M Sport Package
Premium Package
Rear Climate Package
Technology Package
3rd row seat
Comfort Access keyless entry
All Weather Rubber Floor Mats
Carpeted Floor Mats with BMW Lettering Heel Pad
The best price I have is $70,526. What do you think? It's roughly 500 above invoice. I'm looking to lease this for 36 months 10K/year. What are the money factor and residual value numbers for September? Are the numbers better in October? I have pretty excellent credit.
Thanks.

Could you provide the current rate factor and residual for a 2011 X5 35i ( base model and premium model) based on a 36 month/10k lease and 36 month 12K lease.
Thanks!
A Chicago dealer has offered selling price of 57,500 for lease/buy on a 2011 X5 35i Premium (MSRP $60,425). Is this a decent offer? Typically, is there room to negotiate further. I will need only 10,000 miles per year.
Thanks
Suresh
15,000 miles per year is the highest mileage allowance that BMW FS publishes residual values for. If you need to drive more than that, you will have to purchase additional miles on a per-mile basis. It is less expensive to do so at lease-signing than it is to wait until lease-end and have to pay an excess mileage penalty.

This program is scheduled to run through September 30th. It is difficult to say what BMW's October program will be like at this point.

New to this board; appreciate all the great information. Is the MF and residual value negotiable? I got a quote of $736 per month for a X5 35i Premium with the Convenience, Cold Weather and Tech Packages for a 3 yr, 10k mile lease; think it's pretty good, but want to know if I can do better. Thanks.
36 mo - 15K
.00230 and 47% resd.
and
.00210 and 56% resd.
what I am wondering is for a 2011 x5 diesel - what are the numbers on a 36 month 10K lease - and how many months will BMW leases extend to - 48 perhaps?
Thanks in advance for you help!
The car I want is X5 SAV w/ Tech, Conv, Heated Front, Running Boards. This MSRP is about $61k, $56 invoice. The current incentive offer from BMW has the SAV w/ heated seats (msrp $55, invoice $51) at 569/month. If I could negotiate to say $700 over invoice, putting me at about $57, shouldnt I be just over $569/ month (say about $600) all else constant (i would actually go up from 10k to 12k miles)? (36 month)
I can plug the numbers but not knowing what BMW is throwing in here for their $569 offer makes it difficult.
The numbers are below.
BMW Current Offer Option 1
Base: X5 35i Sport Activity X5 35i Sport Activity

Thanks again for all the help. I had an early post question regarding this vehicle.
2011 X5 50i with M sport package, tech package, premium package, etc.
MSRP 75,225
Negotiated price 70,530 (including destination charge 875)
36 month 10K mile/year lease, no cap cost reduction, acquisition fee and taxes into the payments, motor vehicle fees due at signing.
MSRP 75,225
Selling 70,530 + Acquisition fee 725 = 71,255
Residual value (63%) 47,391.75
71,255 - 47,391.75 = 23,863 Depreciation
Depreciation 23,863 + Finance Charge (0.00180 MF) 7,688 = 31,551/36 = 876.42
Tax on 31,551 @ 8.875% (NYC) = 2800.15/36 = 77.78
876.42 + 77.78 = 954.21 per month
Are these numbers correct? The tax should be on the depreciation + bank fee + finance charge, no?
The dealer is giving me 967.32 per month. This is how the dealer responded:
"The lease was capped at $74,327.78 Breakdown as follows : Selling 70,530,bank 725,capped taxes 3,072.78. Capped total $74,327.78
Money factor .00180, residual 63%. Residual value 47,391.75
Monthly payment is 967.32. The numbers are correct."
Why the discrepancy? I used two online lease calculators. Is it because I'm adding the tax to the payments and they are charging me interest on the tax?
Thanks in advance.
It looks like the only difference between the two figures, is the amount of sales tax... Ask him to show you the calculation on the tax...

All of the dealer's numbers are spot-on. Your sales tax was capped in the lease but NY has a very strange way of computing sales tax. Please see my post on the NY Sales Tax Calculation Method at...

1) I'm being told that both the 61% residue and the .0025 mf quoted is set by BMW and non-negotiable but I'm seeing lower MFs being gotten in this forum in Sept. Do MF vary by state/region?
2) Only getting 3% off of MSRP which is still about 3K over invoice....thought I could get much closer. Dealer's fundamental argument is that demand is good, his allocation from BMW is small and that he can sell all the X5s allocated in the range he is offering me, so why negotiate further. Thoughts on the above? Should I continue to work it with the only dealer in town or bid it out to other dealers in the area who might feel differently about their allocations? And why the discrepancies in the MF being quoted?
MSRP: $51,600 (base without options)
Options are as follows:
Convenience Package $2,750
Technology Package $2,800
Running Boards $300
Heated front seats $500
Dest & Handling $875

36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Money factor 2.1, residual factor 60%.
Residual Value: $35,295
Total Depreciation: $16,530
Cap Reduction $4,000
Monthly Depreciation $459.17
Monthly rent $182.95
Monthly payment &642.12 + 9.75% tax for Los Angeles County for a total monthly payment of $704.73
Drive off costs are as follows:
Cap reduction $4,000
Cap Reduction Tax $465.08
Lic & Reg. $737
Bank Fee $725
Doc Fee $45
First Payment $704.73
Security Deposit $750
Total drive off is $7,426.80
I am trading a vehicle that has equity in it. I have checked Kelly blue book, black book and nada guides and trade in values for vehicles well equipped like mine in fair to good condition are $27,000 to $30,000 respectively. My payoff is approx. $26,000. I am thinking I will have $2,500-$3,000 to roll into the new lease.
My thoughts are to get the dealer to add the net trade in value of this car I'm trading in into the front end of the lease in order to lower or avoid the cap reduction tax. What are your thoughts on that?
Also, the $750 security fee is a junk fee as far as I'm concerned. In the past, I financed 4 vehicles through BMW Financial Services over the spann of 10-11 years with a spotless payment history. Since I haven't owned a BMW for the last 6 months, the dealer is telling me that there is no way to get around that security fee. I have a problem with this based upon principal. BMW fin svcs financed 4 vehicles and made plenty of money off of me over those years and I would think that there could be an exception made on this. Is the security fee a mandatory fee? Can I get rid of bank fee as well?
What do you think of the current deal??? Could I do any better. Would love your thoughts.
If someone could let me know their thoughts on this, I'd really appreciate it.
I am gettting the following deal and would appreciate your input. If it's good or could better.
Money factor .0021/Residual 59%/10K/36 months
MSRP $56225
Negotiated price $52940
Eco credit (4500)
Selling price $48400
Acq Fee $725
Sales Tax 7% (NJ)
Residual $33172.75
Monthly Payment $650.
Thank You in advance.

BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 X5 35i with 15,000 miles per year are .00220 and 56%, for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
There's only three reasons why the dealer would use a higher money factor than this to calculate your vehicle's payment.
1) Your don't qualify for its top credit tiers.
2) You are not a returning customer and you want to have your vehicle's security deposit waived in exchange for a .00015 money factor increase.
3) The dealer is marking your vehicle's factor up to add additional hidden back-end profit to your deal.
$3,000 over dealer invoice does sound to be a little on the high side to me. Are there other BMW dealers in your area? If so, you may wan to try doing some comparison shopping.

Let's take a look at this truck's selling price. The X5 that you're interested in probably has a spread of around $4,400 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $3,285 dealer discount that you were quoted probably puts you at a little over $1,000 over invoice...which isn't bad.
If you're in an area with a ton of competition and you feel like shopping around you might be able to shave a couple hundred dollars off of your cap cost, but again this isn't a bad deal.

Thank You very much for your reply. You are exactly right. I added $1000 on top of the invoice and calculated my deal accordingly. I did the research after reading this forum and must say that this site is extremely helpful in making a right decision. I did not want to shop around as the dealer is close to home and offers complimentary pick-ups and delivery for service.
Thank You again for all your help.
thanks!

I have also been thinking about financing. I'm kind of scared to spend almost 30k on a lease and walk away with nothing at the end. I asked for some finance pricing today and the dealer is getting back to me. Does anyone have an opinion on this with regards to this specific car? Today I plan on researching what the car will be worth 5 years from now so I can try and figure out if financing would mean saving in the end.
THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!
A good deal is measured by the sell price (negotiable) and the money factor (may or may not be negotiable) as well as the residual (non-negotiable). I assume that the "Negotiated Cap Cost" of $57,134.10 is the sell price or what is called the Agreed Upon Value in leasing jargon. It would behoove you to research Edmund's invoice pricing as well as overstock or amex at zag.com for competitive low pricing in your area if you haven't already done so. Also, if you have outstanding credit, you need to determine whether or not the 0.00220 money factor is the "buy rate" which is the lowest rate offered to those with excellent credit. If it isn't, make sure you're getting the buy rate.
It appears as though your car is to be registered in a state that taxes the payment streams as they're received (e.g., PA, MA, CA, FL). Some states compute sales tax on the sell price; others on the total of the taxable payments and, then, there are those that tax depreciation only. Regarding the numbers you provided, your gross cap should be $57,859.10 which is also your adjusted cap as there is no cap reduction. Also, I'm not sure where the upfront tax of $27.33 is coming from. The only taxable item listed upfront is the $389 dealer doc fee for which the tax should be 0.06 x $389 = $23.34.
I would research the sell price and inquire as to whether or not the 0.00220 money factor reflects the buy rate. Also, ask about the $27.33 upfront tax as it doesn't make any sense.
Hope this helps.

2. i have a paid off trade in which is a acadia..is it smart to trade in acadia and use it to reduce capitilized cost?
3. see attachment if they give me close to kbb value..my lease payment would be around $110 with trade in..
4. if i put down 7 extra security deposits..would lower my payment to $80.00..so would my 7 security deposits be 110 x 7 = $770 extra
