Post BMW Auto Lease Programs - February 2009

BMW Auto Lease Programs – Effective February 2009

These lease programs are provided courtesy of LeaseCompare.com by dealer partners and are NOT for redistribution.

Follow these 3 steps for the best lease deal!

1) Use the data listed below each vehicle model, and the Lease Formula at the bottom of this page, to calculate a manufacturer (captive) lease payment.

2) Compare special Bank Lease programs by clicking on the vehicle model name to see instant lease payments.

3) You've done your homework, now choose the best lease and start driving your car!

NOTE: Choosing a lease program, captive or bank, with the lowest money factor and a realistic residual value will provide you with the best overall leasing option.

FREE help on using this data or general leasing questions is available HERE.

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

Lease Payment Calculation Formula:
(Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation
(Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Base Rate = Interest
Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment

Terms Used in Lease Formula:
CAP COST = Vehicle Purchase Price (amount financed)
RESIDUAL VALUE = MSRP (window sticker) X Residual %
TERM = Length of Lease in Months (3 years = 36 months)
BASE RATE = Dealer's Buy Rate (dealer can mark this up for profit)

NOTE: The manufacturer (captive) lease programs provided are for reference only. Base Rates may vary by region. Your dealer has the option of offering you a higher rate.

Leasecompare, thanks for posting the info! Looks like the MFs got better across the board and the X6 residuals improved drastically from 49/50% to 62% for 24 month lease.

Awesome! The reduction in the MF for the 328i sedan from .00175 to .00145 reduced my payment by $18.47/month. I just hope March is even better!

Thanks for the info. Is the 0.00125 MF on the X5 4.8i available to all or just existing BMWFS customers? My dealer is telling me its 0.00155 for non BMWFS customers.

Probably not, I would expect the rates and residuals on the 2010 to be higher than the 2009 model.

Naively, I would have assumed that BMW would be offering a lower rate on 2009
to clear stocks but that residuals would be higher for the newer model than the older one.
Thanks again
Sorry, I changed my post to say 2010, not 2009.

I'm about to buy a 328i and the dealership I have been negotiating with is telling me that the .00145 base rate is only available to lease loyal customers... is this true?

Thanks!

2009 BMW 328i Sedan
24 Month – Residual 64% of MSRP – .00145 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 57% of MSRP – .00145 Base Rate

I am just wondering why these rate only good for loyal customers? I always thought the lease rate table published by leasecompare.com is the based rate for new or loyal customers??? I know some dealer can mark up for more profit but 0.00145 should apploy to any customer....

36 Month – Residual 57% of MSRP – .00145 Base Rate

I am just wondering why these rate only good for loyal customers? I always thought the lease rate table published by leasecompare.com is the based rate for new or loyal customers??? I know some dealer can mark up for more profit but 0.00145 should apploy to any customer....
BTW, I'm finding the same thing with my dealer on an X5. They're telling me that the .00125 base rate is only for BMWFS loyalty customers (along with the $1,750 cash) and that the best rate they can give me is the .00155.

It appears that rates that leasecompare.com published in this case are the BMWFS loyalty rates.

No, the dealer is lying to you. Ask them to show you in writing where BMWFS states that the buy rate can only be provided to returning leasees

can a dealer confirm whether or not the .00145 base rate on a 09 328i is or ISN'T for loyal customers only? If it is for loyal customers only, does that mean the base rate for non-bmw customers is still .00175?

Thanks!!

here are two pieces of data on this subject:
1. before the middle of october, i was always told that the lowest was a loyalty rate and if you wanted to get it, you would have to/could put one msd down to get that rate. otherwise, it would be the .00015 higher than the lowest rate if you weren't an existing bmwfs customer.
2. in the middle of october, a bulletin came out in which the loyalty rate was made equal to the sales support rate, so that the lowest rate was the same for everyone. i have not seen any bulletins sine then, so i can't say if that was rescinded. but i did have one dealer tell me that it has gone back to the way i described it in 1. above.

i would guess that right now the base rate for non-bmwfs customers is .00160 unless you put one msd down.

I'm no dealer, but LeaseCompare doesn't post MFs/residuals not available to the general public, I.E. returning customer discounts. If your dealer doesn't want to offer the lower MF, find another who will

Here is another area where the above people think LC is always correct. Terry has posted wrong numbers on the 328i-328xi-335i-335xi-ALL 5's-650i-651 vert-X5 3.0. The Resd. leases for 24-42m have a loyalty rate reduction of .00030. And according to BMWFS Bulletin states...

For the next two months BMW wants to place a distinct focus on selling a new vehicle to all returning BMW
FS lessees. These are prospects that have a relationship with your center and need to get another new
vehicle. To accomplish this, BMW is not only providing a highly compelling lease cash offer but a money
factor reduction of .00030! Both enhancements provide client advisors with the needed resources to give
current BMW FS lessees a compelling financial reason to get into a NEW BMW today. One final note, just
like the Two Payment Program, both loyalty offers cannot be locked and expire on 3/31 for 2009 models and
3/2 for applicable 2008 models.


Part 2...

Any current BMW Financial Service Customers regardless of the length of time in
their contract, or a customer terminating within the last 90 days may take advantage
of Loyalty Cash in addition to special loyalty rates on Lease/Pre-Pay Lease and
OwnersChoice on eligible models.


So, if you have NOT been with BMWFS you do NOT get the above posted Money Factor. And Hopefully Terry can address his posting.
