no, you're not calculating the lease correctly.

Your residual in both cases (US or ED) is based on US MSRP so it is the same number.

Your selling price on a ED lease is ~7% less than on US...

They might be throwing the dealer a bone and putting in $100 markup on the fee when they run the specials. :dunno:

Remember that the specials are not run at MSRP and do require dealer discount,...

It does have a "contracted purchase price" but that is not a fixed amount per car, but rather a fixed formula. BMWFS takes a recent Manheim Market Report value, and makes pre-determined adjustments...

you apply the rate reduction first, then calculate the new payment with sales tax, and round up to the next $50.

BMW is buying down the residual on the books I'm sure. It's just like another form of sales support. So if they put the lease on the street at 65% residual, they could theoretically take $1k or $2k...

well it is no muss, no fuss if you read the contract and understand what you are signing. If you go in understanding that you'll get nothing if you don't use the miles, it's pretty painless. :dunno:

lease vs buy financially

I don't understand the fear. Buying lease miles is relatively cheap. I leased for 12k miles per year and just turned in a car where I put in 20k per year. No big deal, I bought more miles and it...

Where on earth did you get that MF??

It should be 0.00130 (or 0.00129 this month). Sounds like what you listed as "rate" is really the MF expressed in dealer shorthand (i.e. 0.0013 is sometimes...

It's not great, but it's better than nothing. With no residualization, you'd be paying for the whole thing over the term of a 3 year lease. At least here you get some break for the parts.

no, I came up with 1000 assuming that's what you paid for it.

in your scenario, if you pay $1375 for it, then you add $1375 to cap cost, and to calculate the residual you add $400 to MSRP. ...

There is a "residual add" which is essentially an MSRP adder. So as mentioned above, PPK + Exhaust = $1000, which means $1000 gets added to the MSRP (not residual)...

"murder"? I'd argue the opposite -- BMW is actually pretty generous for high mileage leases.

You can buy upfront at $0.15 or during the lease at $0.16.

So let's say you need an extra 1000...
