Anyone lease a 1 series?

I was curious what lease rates you guys got on the 128 and 135. The dealer I went to gave me a money factor of about 6.25% which is nuts. I know its a new model but in a couple of months these cars will be old news.

Im in Jersey also and yes Ive heard the same thing about the lease rates. I priced one at a dealership in Northern Jersey ... the salesman told me high 6% for lease and about 7% on a finance... kinda sucks

I had full intentions on leasing my next vehicle. I was all set to get a 135i until I saw the lease rates and how ridiculous they were. So I'm picking up my new 335i coupe tomorrow that cost about 5k more but the lease was cheaper than the 1. Also my SA said he has several on the lot of the 1 series and is surprised that they aren't selling as expected. More than 50% of BMW's are leased so I would expect better lease rates on the 1 series, but I didn't want to wait.

335i coupe or sedan ? Was it far off in price between the 135i and 335i?

135i's aren't selling as well because of the low US dollar value and the higher Euro dollar currently. Prices have gone up a few thousand per car recently. Plus, the obvious sucky economy helps on consumer confidence which is almost 0
