My Take: I hope those shopping for a 1-series got in last month’s rates because things look pretty ugly this month. Residual drops 2% accross the board and MF on the 128 coupe jumps above .00200. There are some adjustments on the 135s, but nothing to write home about. On the 3-series, you are looking a HUGE drop in residual values (as much as 5%!!!). You can see BMWFS tried to compensate by dropping money factors, but really, does it really help? I’m not seeing it. I know you are all waiting for the “Good News” part of this post, so here it is. BMW’s “Spring Drive” is here, so they are providing $1,500 in customer cash on the 1-series and $2,500 on the 3 (except for the diesel) to offset the crummy residual values. This is actually NOT a bad thing because your payoff amount will be lower, should you choose to sell the car or buy it out at the end of the lease. Just remember that the more expensive the car is, the less of an impact the cash will have, so don’t expect miracles.

G,
I noticed on BMW’s website that the customer cash for the 3 series was $2500 not $2000.
thanks for catching that Giovanni. You are correct, it is $2500 for the 3-series and $1500 for the 1-series.
The dealer wants to charge me tax on the $2500 rebate? Is that legal or is he trying to nickel and dime me?
They actually can do that. It’s considered “cash”, so it’s fully taxable. If you apply the full $2500 towards cap reduction, you will get charged tax on that.
hey g u helped me out couple months ago with a 2010 e class
i now am looking to get audi r8 what can i expect to pay? thx g…
