Thanks for the input. I am hearing that the MF is higher on EU Delivery. In my opinon, .0013 vs. .002 seems like a pretty decent increase monthly on a lease. My sales guy said "BMW pays the first payment though." Technically this is inaccurate as they jack the finanancing, so really I am paying it in the form of interest spread out over the lease terms.

BTW, we are using EU Prices for the purchase less Loyalty (~$37k) but US MSRP to calculate the residual turn in ($41k * .63 = $26k). I've put $1,000 down, so I should really only be paying about $11-12k more for the term of the lease once they add tax, tag, title, plus the interest on the lease itself.

There are so many ways for dealers to rip of customers on a lease it is outrageous. I feel like anyone not undertanding all of the mechanics gets taken, big time. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable; I know the sales staff well as this is my 7th BMW. But it is still very difficult to get straight answers. If I kept my client's in the dark like this, I wouldn't have any.
