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

Published 2008/11/092008/11/09 by G

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

Published 2008/10/052008/10/05 by G

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

Published 2008/10/012008/10/01 by G

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.

August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW 5-Series

Published 2008/08/072009/02/25 by G

My Take: Looks like BMWFS improved the money factor for the 5-series. Not exactly a bad time to check out the 5-series right now. I actually like the 5-series a lot, almost as much as I like the E-Class. I just don’t have the money or the need to lease either of them. Again, 48+ month leases are bad because residual drops significantly and MFs jump up. Bad combination when it comes to leasing, not to mention more wear and tear costs. I’ll be taking a look at the 528 and the 535 sedan’s payments. R

528i + Premium + Sport
MSRP $50,725
Invoice $46,680
Standard inception fees + tax
Lease rate in BOLD

24mo Payment: $674 at invoice, $850 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $655 at invoice, $775 at MSRP

Seems the 36mo lease is much better than the 24mo lease. You can lower your payments around $25 per month if you go from 15k to 12k or $38 by going to 10k on a 36mo lease.

535i + Premium + Sport
MSRP $55,725
Invoice $51,280
Standard inception fees + tax
Lease rate in BOLD

24mo Payment: $745 at invoice, $937 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $704 at invoice, $835 at MSRP

With the price of the 528i and the 535i being off by about $50, I would opt for the 535i. Both cars are going for about $1000 over invoice according to Edmund’s TMV. Another thing to remember, you may be required to put a security deposit in order to lowest MF listed here. I believe they will waive that if you are a current BMW customer.

2008 BMW M5 Sedan
24 Month – Residual 68% of MSRP – .00250 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 55% of MSRP – .00250 Base Rate
48 Month – Residual 35% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate
60 Month – Residual 27% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate

* Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms
** Rates provided by Tarry Shebesta from Leasecompare.com

My Take: There is nothing attractive about the July rates on the 5-series. There may be a MF reduction for returning BMW customers, but other than that, I would hold out for a better deal down the road.
