October 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW Models

Published 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.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW X3

Published by G

My Take: The numbers for the X3 for September are promising. The 24 month lease is less than $10 more per month, which you can offset by switching from a 15k to 12k miles year. Here is the good news, the 36 month lease retains last month’s residual and receives this month’s lower MF, making it a CHEAPER lease than last month. If you are shopping for a X3, you are in luck!

August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW X3

Published by G

My Take: BMW has stepped up it’s leasing efforts this month by lowering the MF by .0004 to .002 while keeping the residual value the same as July. That spells god news for those who are looking to lease the X3.

  • X3 + Premium + Sport (w/ performance wheels & tires)

    • 24mo Payment: $533 at invoice, $694 at MSRP
    36mo Payment: $524 at invoice, $633 at MSRP

    I was hoping for the payments to be more in the $400-$500 range, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the case. Still, the numbers are more attractive than last month ($30 less a month on the 36mo lease). Remember, you can opt for the 12k or the 10k mile leases to lower your monthly payment another $20-30. A security deposit may be required to get the low .002 money factor. It could be waived if you are a returning BMW lesse.

    My Take: Lease rates aren’t looking very attractive right now for all X-Series models. X5 4.8 has the lowest MF right now. If you want other alternatives, check out the Land Rover Range Rover. Again, I’m not trying to pitch Fords, its just that their rates seem more attractive and they all fall under the same class of vehicles.

    My Take: Ok I got kind of lazy so I didn’t want to list the X3, X5 and X6 individually, so here’s the complete list. Honestly, the X lineup is not my cup of tea since I don’t really enjoy driving SUVs much (size, parking, higher viewing clearance, etc…). I just like sitting lower and closer to the ground. It doesn’t surprise me to see the X3 holding better residual values than the other two (X5, X6). Everything seems to be dictated by gas prices and the X3 seems to consumes the least amount. I still think BMW needs better lease support to make them great lease deals. But this is BMW and they don’t really need to do much to move their cars.

    June 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW X3

    Published by G

    36mo/12k – residual 65% – money factor .00240
    36mo/12k – residual 64% – money factor .00240
    36mo/15k – residual 62% – money factor .00240

    My Take: The X3’s money factor dropped .00010 for the month of June while the residual remained the same. This mean you’re getting a slightly lower monthly payment this month than last month. Not exactly cause for celebration. I would anticipate the residual to drop some next month, which means BMWFS may have to readjust their MF once against to keep the truck reasonably priced.

    My Take: Never liked this SUV from the moment it was introduced. It looks like they just chopped the 3-series in half, added cargo space and raised it a few inches. Whatever floats your boat I guess. The rate is rather lame if you are not a current BMW customer. I guess loyalty really goes a long way in terms of saving money.

    And by the way, to all mother’s in the world:

    HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

    Now go get your husband (maybe even your kids) and have him lease you a new car, because gosh darn it, you deserve it!!!!
