If your ordered and leased an E92 335i how much info were you given?

-Ryan- · 04-15-2007, 04:23 PM

Did they tell you the Capitalized Cost, MACO, Moneyfactor, buy rate, acquisition cost. Where you able to successfully negotiate any of these down?

The dealer I went to yesterday had a markup of $5000 on all E92 coupes and according to my CA (who's my nephew) said they were selling alot at the price. Mainly to rich american-indian's who have enough money to not worry about bargaining. Anyways, the only info I could get was a supposed $1500 off msrp (46800 msrp) with $2000 total drive off, 60% residual yielding $713 (after 7.75% sales tax) monthly payment. They wouldn't really give me any other numbers like MF so I said I told them I need to think about it.

It's a real bitch trying to bargain on a car in such high demand.

If leasing, you simply have to negotiate the 'out the door' price of the car first. Just as if you are buying. $1500 off doesn't sound bad on an E92.

If you are leasing through BMWFS, the residual is fixed. The MF is listed here: http://bimmerfest.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=20 along with the correct residual.

The dealer can mark up the MF by 0.0004 (1%).

The aquisition fee is $625. It can be marked up by $200.

With that info, you should be able to calculate the payment.

Don't forget to add your state taxes.

So with a lot of guessing as to where they are putting different amounts, does this look like a good deal? I had to estimate the MF and the other numbers and didn't know where to put MACO into the whole equation. I was basically trying to get close to the $713 a month and $2000 driveoff.

A good deal on a lease is getting the negotiated price of the car down as low as possible, keeping the 'buy rate' on the MF and keeping the aquisition fee at $625.

If you can do that, yes it is a good deal.

Those are the only three variables in a BMW lease.

I live in MD. I have no idea what a good deal is in CA, but if you are happy with the negotiated price, you have to be in the ballpark.

honestly I dont think that's a good deal at all.

a rough calculation showed that you'd end up paying over $27k over 3 years. Have you considered buying the car?? If I were you I would definitely considering buying the car with European Delivery.

Lets assuming an MSRP of $47,000 for easy calculation purposes.
Get $500 over ED invoice and that's a savings of about $6k. Take $1500-2000off for the trip and you'd end up saving $4k.

Now since there are no MACO or training fees with ED, you'd save another $600 or so. So basically $47k MSRP - $5500 ($6k- 500 dealer profit)= $41,500 + 10% (tax & license stuff)= $45,650.

Put $5k down and your payment should come out to about $700 for 5 years (60 months). I just think that it's crazy for paying almost 60% of the car over 3 years.

Either buy it or lease it with ED and utilize the Multiple Security Deposits (MSD) to lower your monthly payments.
