August 2008 Lease Rates for 08 BMW 7-Series

Published by G

My Take: The 7-series rates for August remain unchanged, so nothing to sing about. Then again, if you can afford the 7-series, do you really care? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, I’ll be using the 750Li as an example for the estimated monthly payments.

  • 750Li + BMW Individual Composition + Vented Seats
  • MSRP $95,225
  • Invoice $86,820
  • Standard inception fees + tax
  • Lease rate in BOLD

24mo Payment: $1395 at invoice, $1764 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $1280 at invoice, $1532 at MSRP

Edmunds’ TMV suggests that the car can be leased at another $2000-$2800 under invoice. Some folks around the country have also reported at least 11k off MSRP on their leases. so it looks like payments can dip into $1272 for 24mo and $1196 for 36mo if you can go about $2800 under invoice. You can further cut that price by opting for the 12k or the 10k mileage allowances. Remember, if you are not a returning BMW customer, you may have to pay a security deposit to get the .00215 base rate.

My Take: Unfortunately, the lease rate for the 7-series has gone up a bit since June while the residual seems to have stayed the same. This means that the car will probably run you significantly more monthly. It seems that as the year progresses, leasing becomes more and more expensive, while financing and purchase incentives become better. Something to think about if you are looking to lease later in the year.
