If You Leased Your 335i Post Your Monthly Payments Here

hello all..

new here.

Ive been reading and it seems like leasing a bimmer would be ideal, (ive had two new cars in the last six months or so) so i dont wanna loose any money on depreciation.

Now my question is after reading much on leasing.

What do I need to do to get a payment of about 500 or less.. or close to it???
with about 12k/year and the most minimum out of my pocket at the time

heres what Im looking for

335i sedan
sports package, and maybe navi. (trying to have lowest monthly payments as possible.)

if anyone can help me with the plan out to give to dealerships to get the best possible monthly payment; it would be very helpful.

thanks.

Teeno after you have read extensively about leasing if you had to answer your own question what would you think?

What are some words of advice you would give yourself? Not trying to be a jerk but want to see how much you have read for rest assured all info you need is on here.

It's probably not gonna happen, with 0 cap cost reduction.

Your message basically tells me you can't afford this. Seriously. A smart approach to leasing would focus on TOTAL COST of the lease, whatever the monthly payments. If you are so focused on monthly payments, you are trying to squeeze this into a budget that won't allow this. What does it matter how much you pay per month? What matters is how much this car will have cost you when the lease ends.

You can get the car you want for $520/month, no problem. But you will not get the best deal and you don't need anybody's help then. Just go to a dealership, tell them how much you can afford per month and they will make the numbers work. You'll get ripped off in the process but you'll have your car.

I guess I wrote it down wrong. What Im trying to say is what type of numbers should I be bringing up to the dealership with the description of my car. and If i can expect a close to 500 dollar payment,

and I think 1/5 of my income a month should enable me to afford it...(considering Im 19, and have no bills to pay other than my toys. and the rest 4/5 for saving and gas/food/clothes but no big bills..but no time to describe living expenses, ) and no i not only work.. its actually more of a part time, I do school full time.. thanks for the Trolling tho.

so if anyone wants to help me out with the leasing process than cool. but I can gladly help my self find how much I wouldve been paying If i had decided to purchase the car..(ive bought 2 in the last year... ) but LEASING is new to me and find it nice to change cars every couple of years.. with only paying depreciation..

i dunno, maybe I spoke too soon & it is doable. If you max out MSDs, with a selling price of around 41k, give or take (base+auto+ZSP), 2500 off MSRP, 0 down, you're looking at around $502 a month.

ok how do you get that 502?? lol.

heres what I got from reading in this forum

sedan
sports package
navi
metallic paint

msrp=42875
1500 down payment

41735= adjusted cap cost.
residual value=70%????24months/12kyear
MF-.0025
sales tax 8.25%

mo/702.xx with tax..

now thats not cool.. haha. I think I have a start.. how do I get that sucker down?? how much are MSD's? and SH** like that. where do i plug them in?

I've got an offer of:

335i Sedan via ED
Step, Paddles, Comfort, Nav, Metallic Paint, ZPP, ZSP, ZCW, 6FL
MSRP: $46865 (including destination)
Invoice: $43290 (including destination)

Offer: $44290 ($1000 over invoice)
$100 Dealer Processing Fee + $1432.70 (3% VA Tax & Tags)
Money Factor: 0.00176
Residual Value: 63%
$559.89/month for 35 months at 12,000 miles/year
$4759.89 due at signing - $4200 refundable (MSDs)

Should I be able to do better than this?

I thought I might share my accepted offer:

Crimson red/beige/burl 335i with step/paddle/comfort/sirius/cold weather/premium/sport. MSRP 46620 (plus 775 destination plus 180 dealer training fee plus 625 Acquision fee) INVOICE 42860

Sell Price 44146 (3% over invoice)
No money down
Money Factor 0.00175
Term 36 months/10k mileage
Residual 30269 (64%)
No Disposition fee or SD required (current BMW financial cust)

dest/training fee/acquisition fee paid upfront (1580.00)

Negotiated monthly payment 515.70 ex tax, 546.64 with IN tax

I then put down 7SD's 7x 550= 3850. MF reduced by 0.00049 to 0.00126

New monthly payment with tax 507/month

Yes I put a lot down, but I figure its a decent deal and I'll get most $ back when it comes time to get that M3.

I am getting the 335 coupe...nav, cold/premium/sport/, PDC, Comfort Access, IPod feature. I am leasing for 24 months/12k miles. I am paying $544/month with approx. $3,200 down (this includes license/reg, taxes, 1st mth pmt, security deposit, etc). I am doing the ED...so it truly pays to do this program...you literally save over $100/month. Yeah, i know what you are going to say..."but you are spending all the money to go to Europe"...this is true...but I bet you are going to spend money this year to go on a vacation, right? So this is my annual vacation and I get a great car out of it too...and to drive on the Autobahn! can't beat that. There is no way anyone could possibly get this low monthly pmt without doing ED.

This looks to be a good deal. Assuming no other fees, this is good. Toss in a few $$$$ to get that monthly to 549 so that the SD gets rounded up to 550 instead of 600. Should be below $200 on that cap cost reduction.

Upfront fees are too high. Why are you putting down close to $3300? Bank ee is $625, dealers are allowed to bump it up to a max of $825, looks like he is adding in an extra $200 profit for himself.

You can lower your MF by putting down up to 7 security deposits, your money factor can come down to as low as .00166

Just a question, you said something about getting your money back when you get an M3, can you please explain I don't understand how this works.

Thanks

Hey guys, new here, and switching from Audi to BMW. Now I put a deposit down on a 335xi, and have the option to switch it over to a 328xi if I decide to by the end of Nov. I was hoping to see what you thought of the lease deal.

Final cost: 52,5xx
Black/black
AWD
Premium pkg
Sports pkg
Paddle shifters
Heated seats, wheel
NAV
Ipod/usb

36 month/10K miles
They are paying my last Audi payment of $516

Bank fee+1smt month pymt+taxes/titles/fees= $3471 (down)
0 cap cost

Total monthly pymt= $569


My other option was to get a loaded 328xi(~44000) for $100 less a month. I have the money for both, just want to know if the 335 is as great/worth it as it sounds. Please let me know what you guys think, anything would be appreciated.

Thanks

What are the MSRPs on both? Sedan, coupe or convertible? What year model, 2011 or 2012?

Sorry about that. Both 2011 Sedan's.

335xi:
MSRP: 52565
Selling: 46805

328xi:

For November 2011, the MF for both models is 0.00185. Residuals are 60% for the 335xi and 63% for the 328xi.

Your quoted payments of $569 and $470 are on the money for the MSRPs and the selling prices.

But the selling prices can be better. According to Truecar.com, the "great price" for the above cars is around $45,670 and $39,105, respectively. Truecar.com has not considered the new $1,500 trunk money for both cars.

If the $1,500 is added, by my calculation the best deals are $491 and $407 per month, respectively.

The "best price" is one you shoot for, not one you think you deserve Personally, I'd be very happy if I can get the payment down to $500-$520 range on that 335xi, without additional cap reduction of course.

I signed my lease on sept 1 after waiting 10 weeks for the car to come in.

I got a 335xi coupe 2011

alpine white
navi
coral red leather
heated front seats
m-package
bmw apps

MSRP: 54625

due at signing: 1200
monthly payment: $544 this includes new jersey state tax

Wow thanks for all that, very helpful. I looked at truecar.com after you mentioned it, and it seems like my deal is a "good price."(I also added Sat radio, came to 52565 exactly)

Now we worked out the deal for 569(he talked to his manager, signed paper, etc.), and I put a deposit down, but nothing has been "finalized" since I have the choice to move my deposit onto the 328xi(deposit good until Nov.30th). Can I go about negotiating a better price, or am I locked in?
