Here are January 2013 numbers. Most 2012 numbers are not available to me anymore. 2013 numbers look a bit worse than December due to some drops in residual and MF hikes. It is typically not a great time to lease during January/February for most makes and models.

UPDATE: Added missing models.

Hi all! Thank you very much for your patience last month. As you know, we had a major crisis out east, so I couldn’t get my hands on November numbers for many brands. Things should be getting back to normal now. Please note, this is the end of the year so most brands will be aggressive with their sales in order to close out the year strong. There is at least $1000 in rebates on all BMWs, that includes the Ms, so do your research well in advance because it could save you thousands!

PS- I am aware this is hardly the complete list of model. If you do not see the numbers you are looking for you can either wait to see if I update this post, or you can contact your local dealer for their numbers. I do my best to update the numbers as I get them so please refrain from flooding the comment boxes with requests. Thank you!

September numbers are the same as August. It is somewhat unusual for numbers to remain the same three consecutive months, so I wouldn’t be surprised if BMWFS changed them mid-month. For the 3-series, I typically recommend targeting $500 over invoice since that’s normally what dealer are willing to work with. However, since the 2013 model is relatively new, you may get some resistance. The upside is that there is also $750 in lease cash, so in my “best case scenario” calculation below, you’d be looking at a 86.6 RWG rating. Your results may vary.

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.

2013 BMW 328i Sedan
MSRP – $37,395
Sale Price – $34,825 ($500 over invoice – $750 lease cash)
Monthly – $437+ tax
RWG Rating – 86.6

Numbers remain the same. My projection of the 328i selling for about $500 remains the same as well. In other words, whatever you were getting in July should remain the same in August. I looked at TrueCar data for NY area and it looks like the 328i is coming in at a bout $400 less, so those of you in the NE, try going for invoice. Truth be told, I’d recommend going for invoice no matter where you live.

Took me a while, but finally found the time to get some numbers posted. BMW dropped the residual and MF across the board. I think the residual drop was much more dramatic than I expected. I usually expect about 2-3%, but I’m seeing up to 5% on some models, YICKES! Anyway, in the calculation below, I am using the usual $500 over invoice sale price that’s been a common theme for BMWs in the past. I’m not seeing any incentives with 2012s on Edmunds, but that may be because 2013s are out (those have $750 loyalty and $1000 college grad). May be wise to check if there are any incentives on the 2012s because that should drop the payments a bit more.

I am not seeing any noteworthy changes this month. If you were using last month’s numbers to estimate your payments, congratulations, you weren’t far off. Incentives from last month should remain for most models as well.

On the 328i, TrueCar indicates that most people are playing no more than $500 over invoice. That would be the target price I would recommend. Ideally, I’d shoot for lower and go no higher than $500 over invoice.

BMW dropped the residual for some of their cars again this month. There has been adjustments to the MF though, so they should look fairly similar to last month in terms of payments.

Here’s the bad news though. If you are shopping for a 2012 3-series, you will not get much of a discount right now. On average, TrueCar indicates a measly $469 bucks off MSRP (the average discount last month was a bit more generous) in my neck of the woods. Pretty lame. I have bigger hopes for the Summer and Fall personally. If you aren’t a hurry, hold off for now.
