09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates for February 2009

My Take: Like the 1-series, the 3-series is also enjoying some money factor reduction this month. Still, before you run out and lease a 3-series, you may want to consider the 0.9% for 60 months purchase financing that’s available. That will save you a lot of money over the long haul (4.38% APR on a lease) in interest. Something to think about during your decision making process. Below you will also see a list of 3-series models that I don’t recommend leasing, I usually include the M series there because the residual/money factors are relatively weak on these limited edition models. Of course, if you are shopping around for one of these cars, money shouldn’t exactly be a big issue for you.

09 BMW Lease Rates for January 2009

My Take: ALRIGHT FOLKS! I’m officially back! Thank you for your patience while I was on vacation. I had a fantastic time off! I’m jetlagged like no other so I thought I’d take the time to post the first least rates of the year 2009! I got a bunch of “catching up” to do so I’m sorry if I didn’t get to your emails in time. In any case, You all ready for the bad news? Leasing got more expensive for BMWs this month. BMW’s 2009 January rates look worst than December because of the drop in residual value. The money factors are practically unchanged, so you know the news this month is far from good. If you gotta lease a car this month, well do your homework and shop around. I didn’t include the “worse” BMW lease on this list (yes, there are worse ones), I’m reserving those for January’s DO NOT LEASE list.

My Take: BMW’s December lease rates leave a lot to be desired if you ask me. I’ve been wait for the 1-series’ money factor to drop a little bit since it is such an “intriguing” little ride. Yes, it’s ugly, but it’s hella fast (135i). With a residual value of 68% for 24 months, it would be nice to get a nice .001 discount off the current MF to make this ride a “must lease” on my list. The 3-series is looking pretty much like last month, same goes for the 5-series. X3 looks promising with it’s high residual and relatively “low” money factor. The 6-series and X5 is “okay”, while the “worst lease of the month” title goes to the X6 and the M-models. Not unexpected since they are more of a “niche” model than anything else.

November 2008 Lease Rate for 09 BMW Models

My Take: Finally! The comprehensive list of 09 BMW lease rates is out! The 1-series practically remains unchanged, but BMWFS seems to have cut the money factors a bit on the 3-series, with the residual values remaining unchanged. That good news for those looking to get into a the 3-series. The 1-series is worth a look still due to it’s unusually high residual value. Other notable models include the 528i and the X5. Please keep in mind that BMW dealers seem to be oblivious to the fact that there is a recession going on, so they won’t exactly lease you the car for “dirt cheap”. If you were hoping for that, you will be sorely disappointed. Now, if you are looking to buy, there is 0.9% financing available on select 09 models so it may be worth considering a purchase.

October 2008 Lease Rates for All 09 BMW Models

My Take: Here are the lease rates for the 2009 BMW models. The 2008 models should be the same as last month, here’s a quick link to that post. I’ve picked out a selection of cars that I feel has a good balance of high residual value and lower money factor, compared to the rest of the BMW lineup. You can check out THE LIST later to compare these numbers with other models. As usual, the 1-series’ money factor is getting no love from the folks at BMW. While the 3-series seems to have well-rounded numbers. The upside to the 1-series is that it has a much higher residual value, which seems to help counter the high money factor.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW Models

My Take: According to the file acquired from BimmerFile, the lease rates for all BMW 08 models should remain the same through the month of October. If anything changes, I will be sure to update this post with the new rates. Some 3-series, 5-series, X3 and X5 models remain decent leasing candidates on the 36-month term, so be sure to check them out.

September 2008 Lease Rates for 08 BMW 3-Series

My Take: The numbers for the 2008 3-series went up from last month. I hope some of you where able to jump those deals. The only car that seems to stand out from the group is the 328i sedan. The money factor is still fairly low, so it may be worth taking a look.

If you like the site and would like to receive my latest posts, please consider subscribing to our newsletter on a reader or have it delivered to your email. Got questions? JOIN the RIDE AUTO FORUM TODAY!

  • 328i + Premium + Sport
  • MSRP $38,575
  • Invoice $35,505
  • Standard inception fees + tax not included
  • Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year.

328i Sedan
24 Month – Residual 61% of MSRP – .00140 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00140 Base Rate

24mo Payment: $582 at invoice, $714 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $466 at invoice, $556 at MSRP

Last month’s payments for the same exact car:

24mo Payment: $494 at invoice, $626 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $457 at invoice, $547 at MSRP

One word: Ouch! Payments went up nearly $100 on the 24mo lease because of the lower residual and higher MF. The 36mo lease isn’t too bad, going up only about $9. Still worth leasing, if you can get the .0014 MF and invoice price. Remember, negotiating with BMW can sometimes be very challenging, so stay cool and calm.

August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW 3-Series

My Take: Good news is that the 3-series leases have improved somewhat, specially compared to the  1-series. Lets see how things look, shall we?

  • 328i + Premium + Sport
  • MSRP $38,575
  • Invoice $35,505
  • Standard inception fees + tax
  • Lease rate in BOLD

24mo Payment: $494 at invoice, $626 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $457 at invoice, $547 at MSRP

The payments are obviously higher than the 1-series. That is primarily due to the fact that the car is more expensive. It is a bigger car after all. The key here is that the 36mo lease is more attractive and the car could be had for a “close to invoice” price. So essentially, you could be in a 3-series for around the same price as the 1-series. More is better.

  • 335i + Premium + Sport
  • MSRP $44,575
  • Invoice $41,030
  • Standard inception fees + tax
  • Lease rate in BOLD

24mo Payment: $589 at invoice, $742 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $545 at invoice, $649 at MSRP

So what do you get for another $100 per month over the 328i? 300hp twin-turbo engine that is remarkably potent and fuel efficient. Couple of things to note is that the .00150 MF may require a security deposit if you are not a current BMW owner. For this kind of money the G35/G37 are probably the better bang for the buck.
