Ordering a 2016 for Lease and Euro Delivery

edited August 2015 in BMW
I have tried to read up on the topic but I still have a few questions. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would like to order a 2016 328i Sports Wagon for mid-December delivery in Munich. I would also like to lease it. I an relatively new to leasing.

- Are the lease residuals and MFs out for 2016s yet? I will do 3 years / 10,000 miles per year.
- What's the add-on to the base MF for euro delivery?
- I was planning to do $0 down but I'm not sure it makes sense to finance the tax, tags, and acquisition fee. I don't have a trade.
- When will I be required to lock in my lease terms? At ordering? Right before leaving for Germany? (I assume the residuals could improve between now and Dec)

Thanks!

    No 2016 3-series lease numbers available, just yet.

    I saw that some 2016 numbers did come out for August. Any advice on the other questions about add-on MF for Euro Delivery or when I will need to lock in my lease terms?

    August lease parameters won't be good for December. It's possible that you can lock in the September program for ED in December, but you'll have to check with your dealer.

    ED leases get a bump of .0003 over the base MF, but the 2nd lease payment is waived.

    Usually, you want to pay government fees upfront, to keep them from being taxed in the monthly payment, but that depends entirely on which state you live in, and how they tax leases.

    Generally, when you order, you lock in your lease terms. If the numbers get better between then and when you sign your lease (2-3 weeks prior to delivery), then you can choose which lease program, provided you and your dealer agree on this, in writing.

    The law reads M+S rated and I ordered 18" wheels with all seasons, so I meet the letter of the German law. I will avoid driving to areas that might be snow covered.

    MSRP: $53,520
    Sale price: $47,599 (includes processing fee)
    Total fees rolled in: $4,193 (6% tax + DMV fees)
    Cap cost: $51,792.44

    I'm happy overall with the deal, thanks for the help!

    I like this idea of getting the car in Germany. But I have to add the airfare for three members of my family to Munich from Philadelphia :)
    The only thing I may save is the cost of 14 day car rental in Germany by driving my own new Beemer for 2 weeks in Europe :)

    ED invoice is 7% lower than US... so, you should be able to save $3000-$4000 on the vehicle, as well.

    Thanks very much for this info ! I might think about it next summer and combine it with a driving holiday in Europe. Winter is not an ideal time to be driving in Europe. So lets see next Summer. I might try The MB car if they have a similar ED scheme. Any idea if MB offer the same scheme at Stuttgart ?

    Mercedes does have an ED program, but I don't know the specifics. From anecdotal evidence, BMW is the only one that actually offers significant savings.
