    Hello! I am looking at a new 340i xDrive and was hoping you could please provide the MF and Residuals for:
    - 3 years/12k miles
    - 4 years/12k miles

    I have not looked into leasing BMW before, so if there's a preferred lease term (to take advantage of certain promotional MF's, etc., please let me know.

    Thank you!

    36/12 is the sweet spot; 48 month terms are lousy for BMW.

    .00135 and 60%. $1500 lease credit.

    I get $460/mo plus tax. Confirm the adjusted cap cost - if higher than the sale price, find out what's been added.

    Not sure what you mean by adjusted cap cost, this is what the dealer sent me:

  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 263,954

    Not sure what you mean by adjusted cap cost, this is what the dealer sent me:

    If I add the $925 acq.fee, then subtract the $1500 rebate, I get an adjusted CAP cost of $40,354, and a payment of $427/mo.+tax.

    You see how I got the adjusted CAP cost? Now, ask them for their adjusted CAP cost, and if it's different, ask them to reconcile it to the selling price.

    2016 BMW 328i xDrive 36months/15K

    MF: 0.00155 Residual: 58% Tax: 7.25

    Current deal that I got from my dealer is $661.93/month (is this reasonable?)

    Here's their breakdown:

    MF is marked up from .00135; that would save you about $15/mo.

    You might try for more of a discount from sticker.

    What state is this?

    Everything looks correct; Illinois calculates the sales tax as the sum of the payments and collects it up front.

    Deal offered to me today for a 340i with technology/lighting/driver assistance packages in Mountain View, CA

    Vehicle Price: $53,245
    Invoice to Dealer: $49,685
    Final Price: $49,185

    $6000 down, $588/mo
    .00175 money factor
    Residual: $32,479.45
    10,000 miles...and I need 15,000

    I have perfect credit...don't think this deal is where I want it to be. They may be willing to buy me out of my existing lease (not a BMW), which would take me out of my final $487 payment and any lease return costs, which is a nice plus.

    Advice?

    Run, don't walk from that dealer. Money factor is inflated -- should be .00135. Selling price should shoot for is invoice MINUS incentives and typically the invoice is 7% below the MSRP. Might be tougher to get on the new model but still, should try.

    Should be low 6ish with 0 down, tax, bank fee included.

     What he said, but I will also add that going from 10,000 miles to 15,000 miles a year will add about $40 a month to your payment

    How do folks walk in and say "I don't want to put any money down" when they have specifically designed lease packages for each model? Do you essentially throw your good credit at them and say "take it or leave it?"

    For example, on the 340i, BMW is advertising a $479 lease on what's basically a base model 340i:
    http://www.bmwusa.com/bmw/special-offers/lease/2016-340i-Sedan

    The seller today made it clear to point out there's no incentives right now on the 340i...

    Everyone on the planet is in agreement that putting down a cap cost reduction is a bad idea always. You pay nothing less you just pay it sooner. If the car is stolen or totaled you lose that money. Better to hold the money you'd put down and dribble it out.

    As far as incentives, the seller is lying. Car salesmen do that sometimes.

    Look at BMW's web site:

    Included In Payment:
    $1,500 Lease Credit

    That's an "incentive."

    .00135 MF and 58% residual. $1500 lease credit.

    Your price isn't bad. It's about $1100 over (invoice minus lease credit).

    But, as noted, money factor is marked up from the base, and they are quoting you a mileage allowance that doesn't meet your needs.

    Let's assume that extra costs over the selling price are $925 for acquisition fee + $600 for title/license/doc fee.
    That gives a CAP cost of $50,710. That would result in a payment of $616/mo./+tax, with only first payment due at signing.

    If tax is 8.5%, that's $668/mo., with $668 upfront. (and, that's for 36mo, 15K/yr)

    Shop around... .insist on the base MF (that will weed out a lot of dealers), and always ask for a quote with just the first payment due at signing. That will make it easy to compare, and you shouldn't be putting $6K upfront on a lease, anyway.

    Was just given another offer from a different dealer online, after telling him I wasn't happy with the deal I previously posted here.

    $58025 MSRP, $55495 cap cost, 61% residual
    $574.65/mo + tax (~$626), 10k miles
    Unfortunately...6k down

    Didn't get a money factor but had told him I expected .00135 based on my credit.

    What is it with the $6K down requirement? I would expect around $2K to cover the up front costs (acquisition fee, dealer fee, first payment, DMV costs).

    Using the .00135 MF with the other information you've provided, I get $681/mo + tax.

    Every $1000 of cap cost reduction would take about $28/mo off that payment.

    Thanks for your help Michaell!

    I'm not sure why such a large deposit is being asked...but I'm not going to cave to it. When I responded asking to to increase the mileage to 15k and reducing the drive off (to their current $4404 lease offer), the payment quoted changed $706.

    And to get where I wanna be, around $600/mo, he's quoting me $7102 drive off, and instead, suggested a multiple security deposit.

    And I have found the exact deal I wanted....$2300 drive off, $575/mo, 15k miles, 58% residual, .00115 MF (additional corporate discount given to employees of where I work), and a fantastic price on a 340i with Msport, technology and driver assistance packages.

    SOLD.

    SOLD.

    Thanks for your help guys!

    Congrats! Patience pays off.

    I ordered my car in february and plan to take delivery late march or early april.

    How does it work if incentives/rebates disappear that existed in february? Does the dealer still honor the deal I was given?

    How does it work if incentives/rebates are better when i actually take delivery? Does the dealer apply the better incentives/rebates and give me a better price? Or am I locked into the higher price?

    It is our understanding that you can use the numbers when the car was ordered or when you take delivery, but you have to take all the numbers - MF, residual and incentives.

    So if i'm understanding you correctly, I will get the best deal no matter what?

    In other words, if February (MF, residual, incentives) gives me the best deal, I sign under those numbers.

    If March/April (new MF, new residual, new incentives) gives me the best deal, I can sign under those numbers.

    (Sorry if i'm beating a dead horse, I just want to be 110% clear on this... super nervous but excited to get my new car!!)

    Hi,

    I know this is the 2016 thread, but would anyone know if I can still get the 2015 BMW 328i xDrive AWD lease numbers for 36 month/12k year and 36 month/15k year? The 2015 thread is closed.

    I was told 15k/year money factor is 0.00175 with 55%. Does this sound correct?

    I'm in california if that matters.


    Thanks!

    No.. you won't get the best deal, no matter what. Make sure you've negotiated the base rates, and then get it in writing that they will give you the base rates when the car arrives. BMWFS allows this, but the dealer doesn't have to change anything, if they don't wish

    My calculations are exactly the same, to the penny.

    Only way to lower the payment is to get a better selling price or use MSD to buy down the MF.

    That said, the residual should be adjusted down for the miles on the car - probably at .20/mile, or $800. This will add about $22 to the pre-tax payment.

    To compensate, try to negotiate a better selling price as well.

    .00135 MF and 60% residual. $1500 lease credit.

    Adding the $925 acquisition fee to the selling price, gives $388/mo.+tax

    BMW does offer longer lease terms, but the variables aren't as good, and the payments are higher.

    Deal offered to me yesterday on 2016 435 Gran Coupe in NY
    Vehicle MSRP $60,195
    Net Price 54,050 ($55,550 selling price less $1500 BMW Lease Credit) plus Bank Fee $925
    Residual: $36,117 (60%) 36 months, 10,000 miles
    Money Factor .00135
    No Money Down, NYS Sales tax rate 8.625%
    Monthly payment per Dealer: $733.

    I calculate the payment to be $703 (includes sales tax of $56). Can someone confirm my calculation and share comments on deal? Lastly, dealer stated that standard MF is .0015, but reduced to .00135 for excellent credit. Is this accurate or can MF be improved further?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm getting the same payment you do .. ask the dealer for the adjusted cap cost. If it's different than the net sales price of $54,975, find out what's been added.

    Can you provide March residual and MF for 2016 328i xDrive sedan (36/15k)
    Thanks

    .00135 and 58%. $1500 lease credit.
    Question to the super smart and helpful mods...


    When I ordered in february, my numbers were (for 36m/15k):

    MF: 0.00132
    Residual: 60%

    With a $1000 option credit.

    Now for March it is

    MF: 0.00135
    Residual: 58%

    With a $1500 lease credit.

    I see the MF went up by 0.00003 and residual dropped by 2%... however there is $500 extra incentive.

    At a glance, it appears I should stick with my February numbers when I sign the deal right? Over 3 years I imagine i'll save more than $500 bucks.

    My car should be delivered last week of March or first week of April.

    The current BMW numbers are set to expire at the end of March; we don't know what the new numbers for April will look like.

    Might be best to stick with the February numbers; I can't imagine things changing that much to materially impact the lease payment.

    Can I get the MF and residual for:
    2016 328i xdrive & 328d xdrive
    36/15
    36/12

    Also, what is the "sweet spot" for good lease terms? We have excellent credit -- and judging from what I've read it seems like 36 months is the best term. Please correct me if I'm missing something. We're going to go shopping in the KCMO/ STL areas soon to find a well optioned 328, where we can get the price below MSRP, then approach the leasing bit..
