My Take: For the most part, the 3-series base rate went up on the sedans and M3s while the residuals stayed unchanged for most of them. If I were in the market for a 3-series right now, I would just consider the coupes. However, if I really need a sedan, I would probably have to live with either the $1000 Loyalty Bonus Cash or the Conquest Cash (not sure what that is though). Another alternative is to go with the 0.9% financing for 60 months. Seriously, 0.9% APR beats any lease deal going on right now so you might always explore the “joys” of ownership. LOL. I don’t really feel like estimating payments on the 328i or the 335i this month, so just go to The List for April 2009 and tell yourself that the payment range is going to be a bit more than that.
