09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – May 2009

Published 2009/05/102009/05/10 by G

logo_bmw My Take: For the most part, the 3-series base rate went up on the sedans and M3s while the residuals stayed unchanged for most of them. If I were in the market for a 3-series right now, I would just consider the coupes. However, if I really need a sedan, I would probably have to live with either the $1000 Loyalty Bonus Cash or the Conquest Cash (not sure what that is though). Another alternative is to go with the 0.9% financing for 60 months. Seriously, 0.9% APR beats any lease deal going on right now so you might always explore the “joys” of ownership. LOL. I don’t really feel like estimating payments on the 328i or the 335i this month, so just go to The List for April 2009 and tell yourself that the payment range is going to be a bit more than that.

09 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – April 2009

Published 2009/04/092009/04/09 by G

logo_bmw My Take: For the most part, the 3-series got hit with a lower residual value (1%-2%), while the money factors went up for some trims and down for others. The 328 and 335 coupes got a money factor reduction, while the sedans either stayed the same (328) or went up (335). The wagon’s money factor carried over from last month. Overall, the 3-series seem to have stayed around the same price range as last month. I’m not seeing much in terms of customer cash rebates, but low APR financing is still available, so buying seems to be the better option right now on the 3-series since you pay less in interest over the life of the loan. If you are still fixed on leasing and want to get into a coupe, the 1-series is a significantly better lease than the 3-series coupe right now. For those shopping for the M3, the sedan stayed the same as last month; the coupe and convertible experienced a drop in residual value, making the car that much more expensive to lease.

UPDATE: There is $1k dealer cash available on the 328iz for this month.

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 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 Lease Rates for January 2009

Published 2009/01/112009/01/15 by G

My Take: ALRIGHT FOLKS! I’m officially back! Thank you for your patience while I was on vacation. I had a fantastic time off! I’m jetlagged like no other so I thought I’d take the time to post the first least rates of the year 2009! I got a bunch of “catching up” to do so I’m sorry if I didn’t get to your emails in time. In any case, You all ready for the bad news? Leasing got more expensive for BMWs this month. BMW’s 2009 January rates look worst than December because of the drop in residual value. The money factors are practically unchanged, so you know the news this month is far from good. If you gotta lease a car this month, well do your homework and shop around. I didn’t include the “worse” BMW lease on this list (yes, there are worse ones), I’m reserving those for January’s DO NOT LEASE list.

My Take: BMW’s December lease rates leave a lot to be desired if you ask me. I’ve been wait for the 1-series’ money factor to drop a little bit since it is such an “intriguing” little ride. Yes, it’s ugly, but it’s hella fast (135i). With a residual value of 68% for 24 months, it would be nice to get a nice .001 discount off the current MF to make this ride a “must lease” on my list. The 3-series is looking pretty much like last month, same goes for the 5-series. X3 looks promising with it’s high residual and relatively “low” money factor. The 6-series and X5 is “okay”, while the “worst lease of the month” title goes to the X6 and the M-models. Not unexpected since they are more of a “niche” model than anything else.
