Compare Lease Payments for Used BMW Models HERE

Use the following formula to calculate a lease payment:

(Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation
(Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Money Factor = Interest
Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment

5-series incentives/rebates

I just spoke to BMW dealer, they said the premium package trunk money is reinstated for May, anyone know if there any other incentives/rebates?

Trunk Money?

Can you please either point or provide further information on the trunk money/incentives. I have a 3 series which I pick up next week and would like to know if any of these incentives would apply.

24 Month residual on 335I Coupe 24 month lease dropped from 69% to 64%! Is that right?

It's eye-popping to see how much these new lower residuals affect monthly payment. Out of curiosity I changed the residual in my ED lease spreadsheet from last month without changing anything else and the monthly payment jumped up over 25%. Maybe trunk money will help, but still........

Wow, am I glad I locked in my 2008 550i last week! The .0002 bump in MF and 2% drop in residual would have added $104/month to the cost of my lease. That's real money!

I'm also curious what this "trunk money" is all about.

Wow. The residuals have plummeted. Dayum!

That's going to impact my next lease.

For me the increase would be over $150. Boy am I glad I leased when I did. I need that money for gas!

This impacts me moving forward right now. I wonder if the residual change and MF change will impact demand enough for BMW to do something different next month. This is a pretty big change and can impact a lot of people negatively that were close to pulling the trigger.

WOW... glad I signed and delivered 10 days ago. My 535 would have cost me another $130/mo. That's about what I will do in gas costs...

Watch BMW sales slide further with these lower residuals. Give them a few months with lower sales and the dealers will start screaming. This will affect their sales.

I doubt it.. not everyone knows what Residuals and MF are... people that shop for cars could care less about it.. they are the type that will pay MSRP and lease for whatever amount is advertised in the Sunday papers...

Besides, the lease numbers only make financing at 3.9% a whole lot better than before

Plus there is trunk money on many in stock cars that will alleviate the reduced residuals. But it sucks for those with ordered cars.

True, but it takes a lot of trunk money to alleviate a 5% drop in residuals

I'd say it's quite doubtful BMW will raise the residuals back. They can't afford to, because they've been getting hammered on the back end for quite some time. That's what brought about the reduction in residuals.

I was wondering what the 30 month residual and money factor was on the 550i? I wish I had locked in last month and moved my ED up a month. Damn....I am now trying to decide if I really want to do an ED and get that anthracite headliner, or just get some trunk money and lease an in stock one....

5% drop in residual on a $50K car is $2500 = about what the trunk money is on th 535i.

yes, but they also offered the $2500 trunk money last week before dropping residuals 5%, so apples to apples, the car costs $2500 more to buy/lease today than it did last week. Divide this over 24 months and its $104/mo more expensive to lease the same car.

I asked the internet sales manager how they can expect to sell the same car for $100/mo + higher, they said they dont expect to sell as well in May. There was a corporate push to make the April sales volume #s look better (results linked below), so BMW subsidized higher sales by offering the trunk money.

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/st...4804650&EDATE=

April sales for the 5-series were +33% higher in 2008 than 2007, and YTD 2008 is +6.5% over 2007. If you look at the charts, my guess is that the next models to get incentives are 3 and 6 series, since YTD sales volumes are down -17% and -11% from 2007. Wouldnt count on 5-series incentives until the YTD sales volumes really start to lag 2007 again over next few months, then they'd probably offer incentives again.

Yeah, just my luck that a few days after I started looking into leasing a BMW the residuals went down and MF went up .

Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms

Compare Lease Payments for Used BMW Models HERE

Use the following formula to calculate a lease payment:

(Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation
(Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Money Factor = Interest
Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment

NOTE: These lease programs are provided by dealer partners of LeaseCompare.com and are for reference only. Rates may vary by region. Your dealer has the option of offering you a higher rate. To make sure you are getting the best lease, compare these rates through an independent leasing source such as LeaseCompare.com.

Here is a great online publication about leasing: Auto Lease Insider.

This is not good. Hope June rates improve.

But what the heck is trunk money, and how does it get applied for which models/options?
