2011 BMW Lease Rates – April 2010

Published 2010/04/162010/04/16 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Here’s a complete list of 2011 BMW lease rates, courtesy of our friend Tarry from LeaseCompare.com. Special thanks to Igor for the find. Greatly appreciated my friend. Quick overview, Good residuals, so-so money factors. For certain models, I would probably stick with the 2010 since there’s Spring cash and MF seems lower.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – February 2010

Published 2010/02/082010/02/10 by G

logo_bmw My Take: I just got the new lease rates for BMWs, so I am going to kick things off this year with the 3-series. Keep a few things in mind, I got these numbers from LeaseCompare, therefore, you will be seeing a lot of reference links to that site as part of the deal in order to redistribute the numbers. Hopefully everyone can live with them from now on.

Anyway, this month’s take of the 3-series is simple, the coupes look pretty good. There may be a higher price tag now, but the residual values are strong and the money factors are fairly low. The sedans need a little love from BMWFS thought. Final verdict? The numbers have improved since December so if you plan to lease one of these, it might not be a bad idea.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – November 2009

Published 2009/11/062009/11/13 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Happy Friday everyone! I’ll be out of town this weekend (again) so I’ll leave you with the latest BMW lease rates I found. BMWFS made some minor residual increases for some trims, but models got hit with a higher MF this month. Good news is that there is some holiday cash available for lessees. The 328i trims get $1500 and the 335i trims get $2500. Even the M3 gets a little love with $1500. You only get this cash if you lease or finance through BMWFS, so if you plan to pay cash or finance through your own bank, you won’t qualify. This is a mfg to consumer rebate, so make sure you get some discounts from your dealer as well.

On a side note, there have been a rash of fuel injector problems on the 335i engine according to a few friends of mine who drive them. When you lease, that’s not a huge deal, but the hassle of having to take the car in for service is a factor (at least for me) in the overall ownership/leasing experience of a car. Just a little FYI in case you were shopping for a 335i.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – October 2009

Published 2009/10/04 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Came down with a cold this past week so I’m in recovery mode right now. I haven’t had a chance to respond to your questions, but I will get to them once I’m feeling better. In the meantime, here are the October numbers for the 2010 3-series. In case you were wondering, the numbers are identical to last month’s (September). Coupe numbers look most attractive to me. While 2009 models should still be available for the most part, getting exactly what you want may prove challenging.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – September 2009

Published 2009/09/14 by G

logo_bmw My Take: There still should be 2009 models available for leasing so I would inquire about those first. For the month of September, the coupes are looking mighty fine. Take the 328xi for example, the residual is the highest is will ever be, and the money factor is only about .00145, which translates to about 3.48% APR. Not too shabby if you ask me. You can drop some MSDs to bring it down further if you wish, but personally, I think its fine as is.

I haven’t seen the 2009 numbers, but I will post them if I find them.

09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – August 2009

Published 2009/08/102009/08/10 by G

logo_bmw UPDATE: $2500 lease cash for 335i, $2000 lease cash for 328i. Special thanks to Smitty for gathering the info. Also, per Dave’s email: “In California, it’s $2,000 lease cash. BMW might offer differently in other states that I wouldn’t know about. Auto transmission credits are still in place through the end of this month.” Dave sent me another email today after double checking the bank sheets; here in CA, the lease cash is $2500 for the 335i and $2000 for the 328i, just like Smitty mentioned. Looks like that isn’t the case up in MA according to Jake. It also looks like MikeO is having problems getting the $2500 on the 335i as well.

My Take: I had a little R&R yesterday, so I apologize if I didn’t get to your emails and questions until today. Had a bday to attend, then had to chores around the house, so overall, busy weekend. Anyway I got a lot of good news for you regarding BMW 3-series, courtesy of Dave Persaud of Long Beach BMW. The lease cash on the 3-series and 5-series got bumped to $2000, instead of $1000. If you have a clunker, you can get $3500 towards either a 1, 3, or X3. So about $5500 right there, which excludes any discounts the dealer gives you. Just remember that the car you get has to have at least 22mpg combined mileage or more. The most noticeable change I’m seeing this month is the MF drop on the 335xi coupe (down from 0.00165 to .00145). The rest is pretty much the same as last month, I think. If you shopping for a car right now and don’t jumping on the 3-series right now, I don’t know what to tell you other than DO IT NOW! Dave’s been giving out REALLY low prices for both leases and purchases, so you really can’t go wrong with a 3 this month.

Check out the new LIST for the recommended leases of the month.

09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – July 2009

Published 2009/07/102009/07/10 by G

logo_bmw UPDATE: $1260 option cash available ONLY on the RWD sedan. $1840 option credit for xDrive sedans. $1000 applies to all 3-series (excluding the wagons and diesel). With these rebates, I think I will be updating THE LIST to include the sedan. I’m really digging the $1260 option plus $1000 lease cash right now on the sedan.

Info courtesy of Dave, so all you So Cal residents, please show him the love by giving him the 1st shot at earning your business.

My Take: There are some changes to the 3-series lease rates. For the most part, they are good, specially on the coupes. MF drops on the 328xi and it also miraculously goes up 1% in residual. LOL. The 335d drops 3% in residual value (bad) and the 335i and 335ix coupes’ money factor drop to .00165, from .00175 (good). The 335ix suffers a 1% residual hit however. Other than that, most of the lease rates are unchanged from June on the 3-series. Nothing exciting going on with the Ms. If you are in the market for a BMW coupe, this month is pretty good. I believe that $1260 option credit is still going on for automatics, so jump on it! That should easily save you around $30 a month.

Here’s some free advice that actually saves you money. If your lease is a few months away from ending, figure out how much extra it would cost you if you wait vs if you get a car now. I reminded everyone not to sit on the C350s due to the low money factors and the $2000 cash for almost 4 months. People who pulled the trigger before the end of June saved themselves $2000. Those who didn’t are pretty much shopping for something else right now. So here you have a $1260 free automatic option which I believe is untaxed (a good thing) on the 3-series. If you still have a few months left on your lease, figure out if its more that this discount or not. If its more, you obviously wait. If its not, pull the trigger. Banks pull these promos out without warning. I can’t predict these things, not one can. If I could, believe me, I would tell you. You are literally taking your chances here. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – June 2009

Published 2009/06/05 by G

logo_bmw My Take: 3-Series lease rates stayed relatively the same as last month. The only difference I am seeing is the 335i and 335xi getting a .0001 bump on the money factor. Here’s good news, there is $1000 lease cash available to customers, so make sure to factor that into your offer. The 335i is also getting special APR offers of 2.9% so those might be a better buy than a lease. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but please remember to provide me with the MSRP, Sale Price, Inception Fees, Tax Rate, MF and Residual if you would like me to examine your deal. I’ve been asked numerous times to analyze a deal without those numbers and the truth is I can’t give you an accurate analysis of it without all those numbers. So make sure you get those numbers from your dealer. If they won’t give it, you shouldn’t be doing business with them. It is all about full disclosure folks. Would you buy a house without knowing the interest rest you would be paying? I know I wouldn’t.
