2011 BMW Lease Rates – April 2010

Published 2010/04/162010/04/16 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Here’s a complete list of 2011 BMW lease rates, courtesy of our friend Tarry from LeaseCompare.com. Special thanks to Igor for the find. Greatly appreciated my friend. Quick overview, Good residuals, so-so money factors. For certain models, I would probably stick with the 2010 since there’s Spring cash and MF seems lower.

2010 BMW 1-Series, 3-Series Lease Rates – April 2010

Published 2010/04/06 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Thank you BMWFS! They dropped the money factors and kept the Spring Drive cash through the month of April. That means extra savings for those of you looking for an 1 series. The 3-series deals should remain unchanged for the month. I don’t have 2011 numbers yet, so I will update the site as they show up. I will keep my eyes open on those number so you need not worry. I had some difficulties transfering the hyperlinks for each trim, so PLEASE visit LeaseCompare.com for quotes as well if you are looking for any of the following rides. They provide all Audi/Mercedes/BMW bank rates, so I hope you will give them some love. They could end up being cheaper for all you know!

2010 BMW 1-Series, 3-Series Lease Rates – March 2010

Published 2010/03/052010/03/05 by G

logo_bmw My Take: I hope those shopping for a 1-series got in last month’s rates because things look pretty ugly this month. Residual drops 2% accross the board and MF on the 128 coupe jumps above .00200. There are some adjustments on the 135s, but nothing to write home about. On the 3-series, you are looking a HUGE drop in residual values (as much as 5%!!!). You can see BMWFS tried to compensate by dropping money factors, but really, does it really help? I’m not seeing it. I know you are all waiting for the “Good News” part of this post, so here it is. BMW’s “Spring Drive” is here, so they are providing $1,500 in customer cash on the 1-series and $2,500 on the 3 (except for the diesel) to offset the crummy residual values. This is actually NOT a bad thing because your payoff amount will be lower, should you choose to sell the car or buy it out at the end of the lease. Just remember that the more expensive the car is, the less of an impact the cash will have, so don’t expect miracles.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – February 2010

Published 2010/02/082010/02/10 by G

logo_bmw My Take: I just got the new lease rates for BMWs, so I am going to kick things off this year with the 3-series. Keep a few things in mind, I got these numbers from LeaseCompare, therefore, you will be seeing a lot of reference links to that site as part of the deal in order to redistribute the numbers. Hopefully everyone can live with them from now on.

Anyway, this month’s take of the 3-series is simple, the coupes look pretty good. There may be a higher price tag now, but the residual values are strong and the money factors are fairly low. The sedans need a little love from BMWFS thought. Final verdict? The numbers have improved since December so if you plan to lease one of these, it might not be a bad idea.

The Wall: E.O in Cali’s 2009 BMW 335i Coupe

Published 2010/01/272010/11/13 by G

Name: E.O in Cali
Location: California
What He’s Got: 2009 white BMW 335i coupe.
What It Cost: Details, details, details!

$700 over true invoice (without any MACO or training fees)
$725 bank acquisition fee (lowered from $925)
7 Multiple Security deposits to lower the money factor down to 0.00116 (from .00165)
Plus license and taxes.

My Take: No MACO, no training, lower bank acquisition fee = WIN! A .00165 MF is actually pretty decent so MSDs were not exactly necessary, but it certainly didn’t hurt. Overall, I like it. Fast car, sharp looks, good price. No complaints here. It is important to point out that BMW doesn’t have a holdback, therefore $700 “over” invoice price (when no rebates can be had) is actually a pretty solid price considering no extra fees were paid.

PS – I know where you got it from! 😀

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – December 2009

Published 2009/12/042009/12/07 by G

logo_bmw My Take: December numbers are pretty much the same as November, so nothing too exciting to report. $1500 or $2500 are also still available (thru January 4th, 2010) depending which trim you select. During our recent test drive, the wife really enjoyed the performance and handling of the 328i. No doubt, BMW makes excellent driving machines.

A “little bird” told me that BMW sometimes will introduce last minute cash towards the latter part of this month. This is generally to spur some last minute sales during the Holiday Season. The key word here is SOMETIMES. Just an FYI in case you are shopping for a BMW this winter.

2009 BMW 3-Series

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – November 2009

Published 2009/11/062009/11/13 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Happy Friday everyone! I’ll be out of town this weekend (again) so I’ll leave you with the latest BMW lease rates I found. BMWFS made some minor residual increases for some trims, but models got hit with a higher MF this month. Good news is that there is some holiday cash available for lessees. The 328i trims get $1500 and the 335i trims get $2500. Even the M3 gets a little love with $1500. You only get this cash if you lease or finance through BMWFS, so if you plan to pay cash or finance through your own bank, you won’t qualify. This is a mfg to consumer rebate, so make sure you get some discounts from your dealer as well.

On a side note, there have been a rash of fuel injector problems on the 335i engine according to a few friends of mine who drive them. When you lease, that’s not a huge deal, but the hassle of having to take the car in for service is a factor (at least for me) in the overall ownership/leasing experience of a car. Just a little FYI in case you were shopping for a 335i.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – October 2009

Published 2009/10/04 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Came down with a cold this past week so I’m in recovery mode right now. I haven’t had a chance to respond to your questions, but I will get to them once I’m feeling better. In the meantime, here are the October numbers for the 2010 3-series. In case you were wondering, the numbers are identical to last month’s (September). Coupe numbers look most attractive to me. While 2009 models should still be available for the most part, getting exactly what you want may prove challenging.
