09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates for March 2009

Published 2009/03/082009/03/11 by G

logo_bmw My Take: These are the same rates that were revised in the middle of February, so the verdict is that the March lease is worst than the “early” February lease. Not sure what BMW was thinking when they pull the good old “switch-a-roo” on us during mid-February, but I can surely tell you that isn’t going to help their sales figures for March. Whatever, it is still an “okay” lease, but I’d look for other alternatives.

09 BMW 1-Series Lease Rates for March 2009

Published 2009/03/082009/03/11 by G

logo_bmw My Take: There’s a slight improvement on the money factor (.0001) compared to February’s mid-month revision. The bad news is that it is still more expensive than before the mid-month revision ($381 to $408, which is around $1000 more over the course of the lease on the 128i). I’ll let you decide if this qualifies as a DO NOT LEASE vehicle, but I am inclined to recommend that you approach this lease with caution.

BMW Revises Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/18 by G

My Take: In an unusual move. BMW revised some of their lease rates for February. I haven’t really gotten around to look through everything in detail, but at first glance, the 3-series seems to have gotten hit with a higher money factor. OUCH! This is rather unexpected since most lease rates change from month to month, not twice in a month. This does put a damper on the hopes that the next few months will bring better rates. Hopefully some of you were able to jump in on the lower rates.

Anyway, my laptop died tonight, so I will not be able to address any questions you may have until tomorrow night or Friday.

09 BMW 6-Series Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/17 by G

My Take: Just because this car is not on the DO NOT LEASE list, doesn’t make it a cheap ride. We’re looking at an $80k+ price tag, so if you are shopping around for one of these four-digit monthly payments shouldn’t come to you as a surprise. Anyway, the residual values are pretty good for the most part and the money factors could be better, but they certainly aren’t ridiculous.

Make/Model	Invoice	MSRP	24-month	36-month	24-month	36-month
09 BMW 650i Conv	$80,600	$87,425	$1280	$1063	$1575	$1263

The residual values are high enough to keep every trim in this model lineup away from this list. Just stay away from the 48-month leases. They pretty bad.

09 BMW 5-Series Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/13 by G

My Take: Me likey BMW 5-series leases this month. Me also likey special financing of 2.9% for up to 60 months. Me likey the lookey of 5-series. Haahaa. The 535i has a “special lease” program this month for $599 a month for 36 month/10k miles a year, $5424 due at signing ($54,125 MSRP, Auto + Premium). What kind of special is that? Drop $5425 up front? No thanks, I’d rather cut my own deal. Here’s what I’d push for:

Term: 36-month
Miles: 12k miles a year
MSRP: 54,125
Sale: 49,835 (invoice)
MF: .00145
Residual:60%
Monthly: $588 + tax
Due: Inception fees (1st month, dmv, tire, doc fee, acquisition, MAYBE security deposit) of around $2000 or less.

Same car, more miles, less up front, less per month.

			At Invoice		At MSRP
Make/Model	Invoice	MSRP	24-month	36-month	24-month	36-month
09 BMW 535i	$47,835	$51,925	$767	$605	$944	$724

NOTE: Estimates assuming the following conditions:

09 BMW X-Series Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/102010/03/05 by G

My Take: I am not recommending the X6 as a potential lease. However, compared to previous months, I think BMW has “fluffled” the residual values and lowered the money factors to make this lease more affordable. I would personally opt for the X5 4.8i over the X6 3.5i considering you get a more potent engine and you’ll save about $100 a month on a similarly equipped model. Stay far and away from the X3, they really jacked the residual and money factors on the X3s this year. Last year they were great leases, just look at 2008 THE LIST and you’ll see what I mean.

UPDATE: The X3 seems to be leasing better on the 2008 model, so if you are looking for the X3, check out the 2008 model rates:

			At Invoice		At MSRP
Make/Model	Invoice	MSRP	24-month	36-month	24-month	36-month

09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/08 by G

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 1-Series Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/08 by G

My Take: For those who were patient last month and decided to wait til February to lease a 1-series, you’ve been “somewhat” rewarded this month. The money factor has dropped slightly while the residual values have stayed intacted. We are a looking at around $40 savings per month compared to January rates. Not bad huh? I personally would have liked to see the 1-series drop below .00200 on the money factor. I think that would really help move the cars in February, but we may have to wait until March to see if that materializes.
