My Take: Couple of thinks to note about the 5-series is that the September residuals and MF are exactly the same as August on the 36 month leases. There is only one exception to that, the 535xi’s MF was bumped to .00200 from .00160, certainly not bad if you are looking to lease for 36 months. The 24 month leases got VERY expensive this month. We’re talking about a 4% drop in residual, which translates to about $80 per month more than August.

2008 BMW 528i Sedan
24 Month – Residual 63% of MSRP – .00180 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 55% of MSRP – .00180 Base Rate
24mo Payment: $755 at invoice, $931 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $656 at invoice, $775 at MSRP
Last month’s payments for the same exact car:
24mo Payment: $674 at invoice, $850 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $655 at invoice, $775 at MSRP
Not too bad if you ask me. Stick with the 36-month lease and you should be paying the same monthly payments as August.
