I'm looking to lease for 36 months for 12k miles a year, a 335i with the following options:

either jet black or alpine white or a metallic black
leather interior- black or beige
heated front seats
bluetooth
steptronic

the following options are nice to have but I can live without them
navigation
M package
park distance control
ipod
harmon kardon

I can't get the monthly payment below 600 from any of the dealers I have been quoted.

If there is a NYC/NJ BMW dealer reading this and can accommodate me, I will do the paperwork tomorrow (Sunday 9.26) or next week at the latest.

Can anyone work the numbers to fit?

Thanks

You need to give us more detail, are you looking for a sedan, coupe or vert? You also need to narrow down your options. There is no "work the numbers to fit" with a lease you can either afford it or you can't. At least that's how I look at it. If you get the minimal options (premium package and auto trans) you're looking at an msrp of $45,500 and invoice of $42K (this is for a sedan)

residual is 61%
MF is .00145

If you went with a very low optioned car like this and paid $750 over invoice your payment would be $540/month before tax (don't know how tax works in NY)

The problem is you have a huge range of options on your list. if you add nav, harmon and ipod you're up to $573 before tax

add m sport and you're at $613 before tax.

So what cars have dealers be quoting you on? Because as i showed here the options make a big difference.

I just pulled the trigger on a 335i Sedan in DC. MSRP was $52,575 (sport, premium, nav, and extras), sale price was $48,760 (under invoice, but not by much).

Lease with max MSD's landed on $560/mo at 10k miles, cash due at signing covered tax, tags along with sd's and first month's payment. .00096 money factor after the rebate with the above price but $725 added for lease acq fee. I'm going to finance it though, 0.9% is like free money. Lease can't really compare, especially after that acquisition fee.

Good luck in your search!

+1 on the 0.9% rate being like free money. I was gonna wait till next year to make my purchase, but I love the rate
