2011 BMW Lease Rates - February 2011

For the most part, BMW’s February lease rates remain unchanged. The biggest change only applies to lease terms longer than 48-months. Those terms get a healthy .00030 money factor reduction, but I still don’t recommend leasing a BMW longer than 3 years. Other than, lease rates are the same. I’ve been noticing a slight up-tick on the sale prices recently, but the month is still young, so I would recommend holding out until month-end to see if discounts become more aggressive. Expect lease rates to change next month.

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

2011 BMW 328i Sedan Lease
MSRP – $34,525
Sale Price – $32,435
Monthly – $409+ tax
RWG Rating – 85.7

2011 BMW M3 Convertible
MSRP – $70,125
Sale Price – $66,470
Monthly – $756+ tax
RWG Rating – 91.6

G, I got some numbers on a

2012 135 coupe, $39075 (met paint, leatherette, m sport) 3 year lease, 12k miles. $2500 down is $475 month.
2011 335i sedan, $44675 (met paint, leatherette, sport package)
$44,675, 12k miles. $2500 down is $549 month.

With all the research I have done & previous numbers I got the 135 sounds like a really good price. Do you agree?

  @mike. The 135 is slightly better than the 335i for sure. Did you shop your quote around? I wasn’t aware that the 2012 135i were out. I think the 2011 are a good deal right now. I’m seeing 10% off MSRP in So Cal, which pretty good. So a $39,075 135i is selling for about $35,250 out here. Check out TrueCar to get an idea as to what 135is are selling for in your area. I think $2500 off MSRP is pretty much invoice, which isn’t horrible, but I would squeeze for more and see if you can get it.

I showed at my previous dealership, who was much higher. I forget the exact price as it was a few weeks ago, and the guy hasnt called me back from my call last week so he is losing out on the sale either way. I was going to shop around at 2 more places. The 2012 will not be out until April & I will know for sure tomorrow if he can lock me in at that price of if he has to wait until early March. I would definitely get a 2011 only problem from what I hear is there are none available on the east coast for the coupe. The convertible is available, but coupes with manual have been hard to find from what I was told. I will definitely check with a few other dealers. Thanks!

  @mike. Oh so you would be ordering a 2012 135i. Well you probably won’t get a big discount out of that (compared to what you would get if it were a 2011 model), however, you would be getting exactly what you want, so that would be the trade-off. Hope you can find a 2011 with your options. I can’t advice on the 2012 since I don’t know what the rates look like, but definitely keep looking.

@G. Thanks again for all the info. I did meet with the dealer & he cant guarantee any pricing on the 2012 until March. However there is a 135 that is a bit higher priced 40,375. That they would lease out for $482 a month. Apparently on the east coast all they have is automatics and/or convertibles. So my hope a coupe manual is tougher to find. He did not mention how much they are taking off the sticker, but judging by the lease price, it looks like they might be taking off 3,375.

  @mike. If that car looks promising, I would try negotiating for it. keep in mind that when you deal with a car that’s hard to find, your negotiating power goes down significantly. Good luck with your negotiation though, let me know if you manage to get it.

G we actually found another car that I think I am going to go with. Here is the info I got. 2011 135i coupe. $42,300. White, Black Leather, Cold Weather, M Sport Package, Premium Package, Value Package, Harmon Kardon Surround Sound, Sat Radio, a few other things as well. 2500 down, $497/month.

So basically when I first started my car was (all these cards are with $2500 down
$39,075 was $475 month. The 2nd car was $40,375, $482 month, & the 3rd is $42,300 for $497 month. Sounds like the 3rd is the best deal.
