Do you think it's possible to get better lease deals than what's posted on bmwusa website? For example, they have a 2007 328i Coupe (with auto) for $419/mo. with $2500 down.

Thanks.

Well that's based on a set car price (probably MSRP, although I'm not positive)... so yeah, if you can talk the dealer down closer to invoice price then the numbers should reduce accordingly. Of course all sorts of factors come in to play with that number, as the lease offer has set options, set mileage per year, set term of lease, etc. You might decide you want 15K miles per year instead of 10K, or might want a 24 month lease instead of 36. You might want comfort access and the cold weather package. Who knows!

I would just use the lease deal advertised on the website as a ballpark for what to expect, and then go in there and negotiate a deal on a car that you're comfortable with.

Way too many factors come into play since you change so many things. Look at it this way, $419/mth + tax is the least you're going to pay. With all the added options, you're looking at an average of $500-$600 per month. I'm paying $627 (includes tax) on mine (options listed below) and $0 down.

The lease rates on their site is for 10,000 miles/yr with something like $3966 due at signing (about $3k goes toward cap cost reduction). It also doesnt include anything else except for Steptronic. So if you can get $3k discount off MSRP then you're still going to pay $429+tax per month.
