August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 BMW X5

My Take: X5 rates are down from July, while the residuals have remained steady. Good news for those of you looking to lease the X5. I’ll be examining the payments on both X5s since I suspect that they could be pretty close due to the 3.0si’s higher MF and lower residual.

  • X5 3.0si + Sport + Tech + Premium Packages
  • MSRP $56,175
  • Invoice $51,655
  • Standard inception fees + tax
  • Lease rate in BOLD

24mo Payment: $851 at invoice, $1049 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $770 at invoice, $905 at MSRP

You can shave another $30 a month off your 36mo payments by opting for the 12k mile term. Still a very expensive SUV. TMV suggests the price to be around 2k over invoice, which should bump your payments into the mid-$800 a month range after taxes.

  • X5 4.8i + Sport + Tech + Premium Packages
  • MSRP $63,775
  • Invoice $58,655
  • Standard inception fees + tax

24mo Payment: $892 at invoice, $1114 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $819 at invoice, $970 at MSRP

As I suspected, the price difference isn’t as much as expect. For about $40 more a month, I would go for the 4.8i over the 3.0si trims. That’s $1440 more over 3 yrs for a car that’s over $7,000 more. Sounds like the better deal to me.
