09 BMW X-Series Lease Rates – August 2009

Published 2009/08/10 by G

logo_bmw My Take: The X3, X5 and X6 lease rates remain unchanged from last month. This means that the X5 and X6 are still pretty good leases right now. A little side note on the X3…the numbers may look pretty bad, but this model does qualify for about $3500 in the “Cash for Clunkers” program, so be sure to look into it if you have a clunker to trade in. The $1750 lease cash is still available on the X5 and X6 this month.

Check out the new LIST for the recommended leases of the month.

09 BMW X-Series Lease Rates – July 2009

Published 2009/07/142009/07/23 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Skip the X3, skip the X5 3.0 , X5 diesel and X6 3.5. Stick with the X5 4.8 and the X6 5.0 because that’s the better value. Sure, its more expensive, but residuals are high and the money factors are reasonable. Don’t forget the MSDs! I’m am really surprised that most people still opt to put money down instead of opting for “multiple security deposit” when it comes to expensive cars. You really should consider that instead of putting money towards cap reduction because it will save you money in the long run. With security deposits, you will save in finance charges AND you get your money back at lease end. That is not the case when you put money down. Sure, your payments will be significantly lower, but that $3500 is pretty much gone for good. I know using $3500* towards security deposits seems stupid since you lock that in for about 36 months, but lowering your interest rate from 3.9% down to 2.9% on a 20,000+ loan will give you a better return than putting that $3500* in a 1.5% interest baring account. I’m a bit pressed for time so I can’t break it down for you financially, so just take my word for it.

Now eventhough the X5 4.8 is a pretty decent deal, the X6 is still the better buy, if that car fits your needs. Why? 2% residual value increase saves you more money than a drop of .0002 points in the MF. So the X6 makes THE LIST instead. Before I forget, there is also $1750 lease cash on it, so that just sweetens the deal that much more.

*I am using this as an example, your security deposits may vary.

09 BMW X3, X5, X6 Lease Rates – June 2009

Published 2009/06/10 by G

logo_bmw My Take: If we are talking straight up lease rates, then the X6 5.0i has the best combination of money factor and residual for all Xs. To answer Don’s question, the MF isn’t 0.00121. As a matter of fact, in order to get the base rate of 0.00175, you have to have fantastic credit AND put a security deposit of $700. By the way, where did you get 0.00121 from? Finance APR? FYI, APR offers are for purchases, not leases, so they don’t translate to the same thing. $2500 + $1750 off MSRP is probably doable thought. You are still looking at $900 payments after taxes with just inception fees. You will need to drop a whopping $4000-$5000 down in order to bring down the payments to the advertised, $699+tax BMWUSA.com is promoting.

09 BMW X3, X5, X6 Lease Rates – May 2009

Published 2009/05/152009/05/15 by G

logo_bmw My Take: I would probably recommend taking a pass the X3 this month. The X5 isn’t too bad since the residual is high and the money factor is lower than the X3 and the X6, so that may not be a bad lease with some MSDs. The same goes for the X6, which has an even higher residual value than the X5. By the way, there is a $1750 loyalty cash rebate on the X5, so if you qualify, take advantage of it. 2.9% financing for up to 60 month is also being offered right now. Same thing going on with the X6. Not too bad I guess, but I prefer MB’s financing this month.

09 BMW X3, X5, X6 Lease Rates – April 2009

Published 2009/04/13 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Surprisingly enough, the X6 5.0 (improved from last month) and the X5 4.8i (unchanged from last month) have the best lease rates of all the X-Series “Sport Activity” vehicles. Sure, they have a hefty price tag for most people, but if you were shopping around for one, you already knew that. I actually really dig the looks of the X6, love the higher stance, coupe lines and a beefy 5.0 liter engine. This month is a good month for the X6 5.0 (not so much the 3.5 model though). Remember that for most BMWs, the 36-month term is the sweet spot since it has the best residual/term/money factor combination. BMWFS is also offering 2.9% financing for up 60 months on both models, but no customer/dealer cash.

09 BMW X3, X5, X6 Lease Rates – March 2009

Published 2009/03/182009/03/18 by G

logo_bmw My Take: The best lease on the X-Series SUVs this month is probably the gasoline-powered X5s. The other X-models suffer from either low residual, high money factor or both. There is $1750 customer cash available on the X5 3.0i and 2.9% financing for up to 60 months. You should be able to combine the two, but make sure to double check with your dealer.

BMW Revises Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/18 by G

My Take: In an unusual move. BMW revised some of their lease rates for February. I haven’t really gotten around to look through everything in detail, but at first glance, the 3-series seems to have gotten hit with a higher money factor. OUCH! This is rather unexpected since most lease rates change from month to month, not twice in a month. This does put a damper on the hopes that the next few months will bring better rates. Hopefully some of you were able to jump in on the lower rates.

Anyway, my laptop died tonight, so I will not be able to address any questions you may have until tomorrow night or Friday.
