August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW Z4

Published by G

My Take: August rates are identical to the July rates for the Z4, with the 3.0i & 3.0si convertible holding the best residual and only a slight bump on the MF. I’ll be taking the 3.0i to use as an example in this case.

Edmund’s TMV suggests the sale price for the 3.0i convertible to be about $900 under invoice price. If that is the case, you will be looking at monthly payments of $509. Remember use TMV as a guide, is by no means the final word on how much the Z4 (or any other car) is selling for at the moment. BMW is promoting $379 a month payments on a $38,850 MSRP model, with $3279 due at signing, for 36mo/10k miles per year. Assuming those same conditions, but using the $44,825 MSRP model I picked out, I’m looking at $474 per month with about $1600-$2000 due at signing. Not too bad if you ask me. It is still a good $100 more per month.  Taking in consideration that my model has $6k worth of optional packages, (whereas the “BMW Special” is bone stock) I think the current promotion is a raw deal. Honestly, the best thing to do now is to take advantage of the 1.9% financing that is available for up to 60 months. That’s probably the “best deal” if you ask me.
