09 BMW 6-Series Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/17 by G

My Take: Just because this car is not on the DO NOT LEASE list, doesn’t make it a cheap ride. We’re looking at an $80k+ price tag, so if you are shopping around for one of these four-digit monthly payments shouldn’t come to you as a surprise. Anyway, the residual values are pretty good for the most part and the money factors could be better, but they certainly aren’t ridiculous.

2009 BMW 6-Series February Lease Rates

DO NOT LEASE

The residual values are high enough to keep every trim in this model lineup away from this list. Just stay away from the 48-month leases. They pretty bad.

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.

November 2008 Lease Rate for 09 BMW Models

Published 2008/11/092008/11/09 by G

My Take: Finally! The comprehensive list of 09 BMW lease rates is out! The 1-series practically remains unchanged, but BMWFS seems to have cut the money factors a bit on the 3-series, with the residual values remaining unchanged. That good news for those looking to get into a the 3-series. The 1-series is worth a look still due to it’s unusually high residual value. Other notable models include the 528i and the X5. Please keep in mind that BMW dealers seem to be oblivious to the fact that there is a recession going on, so they won’t exactly lease you the car for “dirt cheap”. If you were hoping for that, you will be sorely disappointed. Now, if you are looking to buy, there is 0.9% financing available on select 09 models so it may be worth considering a purchase.

September 2008 Lease Rates for 08 BMW X5, Z4, 7-Series, 6-Series & X6

Published 2008/09/072009/02/25 by G

My Take: I started to notice a trend here with BMW leases this month. The massive drop in residual has made 24mo leases a really bad deal. On the flip-side, 36mo residuals remained the same and are rewarded with a new lower MF, making these leases CHEAPER than last month. VERY good time to jump into a X5 if that’s what you are looking to lease. I know that with gas prices at these levels, these SUVs aren’t exactly flying off the shelves. Nevertheless, some families do need the space, so now is not a bad the time. Better to lease one of these than to own them if you ask me.

Last month’s payments on the same exact car:

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

If you haven’t noticed, this month you can get a 4.8i at 36 months for about $11 more than leasing a 3.0si last month. For those who waited, I say WOO HOO! I would most definitely pony up $11 more a month to be in a 4.8i than on the 3.0si. That’s $11 more a month to drive in a car that’s has over $7000 more in upgrades. NICE! That’s $396 more over 3 yrs for those who like numbers.

Rest of the BMW line up:
I didn’t notice anything exceptional. I mean most people aren’t shopping for 7-series since the payments are more than some people’s mortgage. Don’t worry, I will still assist with payment calculations, just leave me comment or send me an email.

My Take: I don’t like leasing cars with MFs higher than .002 or around 4.8%. Actually that’s still a bit high with today’s interest rates. Not to mention all the manufacturer’s pitching 0% financing for 72 months, it makes it hard to justify leasing cars with high money factors.

I’m posting all of the lease rates for all remaining 2008 BMW models/trims. I’ll probably start doing this since it will get the rates out quicker than posting them one model at a time.

My Take: At first glance, the 5-series, 6-series and some of the 7-series have decent residual values along with lower money factors. At least they are much better than what Mercedes Benz is currently offering. You might want to hold out on the 1-series still. The residual values are strong, but the money factors are still too high in my opinion. Hopefully they start to drop some after the summer.
