Doesn't sound bad but IMHO I think you can negotiate a $800 drive-off because that is what they did for me. You can save $800-1000 more on that deal if you ask!

$500 over invoice is a great deal, but only if you you don't get screwed on the financing or trade it. I did a lot of shopping around and used the internet to get quotes from nearby cities before I finally closed the deal with the only local BMW dealership on a Highland greeen 2005 3.0 w/ heated seats. I paid $1000 over invoice but I also got $1500 more for my trade in than they were initially willing to give me before I shopped around. And then when we finally went in to discuss the financing, they conviently forgot about BMW's 3.9% rate promotion that going on this month until I reminded them. I had to deal with a lot of gritting of teeth and waiting while the salesman had to "talk with his manager" before I finially got the deal I wanted but in the end it worked out. My wife loves her new X3 and I have a new toy to play with when I'm not driving my Murano.


(Maybe that's why I didn't get a keychain, hat or floor mats...)

Residual is 59%
Base MF is .0010

With cap cost of $40,280 (including $625 acq.fee) the payment should be:
$490 + tax.. with upfront of 1st pymt and security deposit plut title/license..

If you get a $500 over deal, but then let them jack up the money factor, you are giving back $1000..

May I ask what calculation or method did you use to obtain these numbers?

I would like to know! thanks.

I got the lease numbers off of the Ask-A-Dealer section of Bimmerfest...

Lease calculations are fairly simple..

The two main parts of the lease payment are depreciation and finance charge.

MSRP X residual % = Residual

Selling price + Acquisition fee = CAP cost (or "amount financed", if you prefer)

CAP cost - residual = depreciation

Depreciation/term of lease = Depreciaton portion of monthly payment

(Cap cost + depreciation) X money factor = monthly finance charge.

Depreciation portion of monthly payment + monthly finance charge = monthly payment.

It is actually simpler than it looks here.. I have a spreadsheet set-up, so all I have to do is plug in five numbers: MSRP, Cap cost, Residual percentage, Money factor, Length of lease.
