**Lease Package Thread**

This thing must have some seriously crappy rates or residual... I got my 335i the first month it came out, so it was "hot."

15k a year
$3,500 down
24 Months
$529 INCLUDING tax
My MSRP was $41,500 on the dot.

So.... the 335i Sedan Step Sport is cheaper huh? Hmph.

I read some of these numbers you all are putting down - so I called and talked to my dealer - He quoted me the following.

2008 135i

MF .00260
Residual 60% on 36 month lease
12K miles/year

with $2500 down the monthly amount is less than $500/month
(I should mention there is no sales tax in Oregon, doing a ED)

Regardless, it would appear that people are putting up some weird lease #s that don't make sense. The numbers above are with BMW financial - I currently lease two of my BMW through them now. He told me that I can come in and lock in the numbers, and he would alert me to any changes.

That is interesting, because the BMW financial March leasing numbers that the guy from leasecompare posted indicate the 135 as having 58% residual and .00285 money factor. So what the hell.

The LeaseCompare numbers are based on 15k/year, and reducing that to 12k adds 2% to residuals, so that makes sense. The base rate for the 1 Series is .00285 though, so I'm thinking the discount could be a loyalty discount since he has 2 existing leases with BMWFS.

Combine that with Euro Delivery and no sales tax, and it's a better deal for jose100fires, but not one that the vast majority of us have access to.

so BMW FS gives a break on the money factor if you are a current/past BMW FS customer? is this automatic or do you have to ask for it?

Below $500 month lease,,, I would love to see like 3-4 people get that kind of deal. Even with $2500 upfront.

And thats one hell of a deal on the 335i sedan with Step. What a smart choice!

When are you guys getting these damn 135i's?

I want real world remarks.

[TunedM2C]

$42k (includes everything: car, tax, title, etc.)
$1500/down
36-mo. lease
12k/yr
57% res.
.00229
$634/mo.

Can you still cancel your order if you put down a deposit? Even if the cars "in production"
