If you're convinced all anyone needs to know to negotiate a good lease deal is the Edmunds invoice so be it. I hope it wasn't all the info you had and that you didn't just take the dealer's word that .220 was the best MF availoable at the time  |
When I negotiate my lease, I was easily able to get 3 or 4 dealerships within 40 miles to agree to a deal of $500-1000 over invoice. I actually did the deal with a woman who did $700 over invoice and included MACO and training. Another dealership that I sent an email A WEEK before called me to see if I was interested. I told them I did the deal already. They were willing to go lower. At the end of the day, I gave my business to the dealership that was straight forward, honest, efficient, and who's calculations were in line with mine.
BMW's are probably one of the easiest cars to negotiate leases with. ALL program details are usually available on the forums. When I negotiated a lease for my fiancees VW, it was a bit harder because all the program details were not as readily available.
My best luck is contacting the internet sales team through the dealerships website... My responses were quicker than emailing a regular salesperson. Also, I do not care how the dealership chooses to make their profit... I've done leases before with the car being sold at straight invoice and I paid $600 in dealer prep fees and doc fees....If they want to mark up the MF, that's fine too...
Maybe you have bad luck, but these methods worked for me, and also a few of my friends.
