BMW has a pretty good 39 month lease this month. Not sure if they will extend it but it's worth a shot.

Nice, I wasn't aware of that site. It looks like 7 security deposits would save me an additional $1000 over the course of the lease.

Just be careful. I was told of you total the car then you lose your security. Can anyone confirm this to be the case?

It's a security deposit, which is different than a cap cost reduction. Which is why most people will tell you never to put money down on a BMW lease, use MSDs instead. This is because of how the included GAP insurance views the account. Security Deposit is as it is named, a deposit. It is fully refundable. Be careful that when the lease numbers are done that the security deposit is entered in "Refundable Security Deposit:" on the paperwork and NOT on the "Capatilized Cost Reduction:"

Cap Cost - lost if totalled, the GAP pays what is owed.

MSDs - not lost if totalled, the GAP pays what is owed.

Well done, sir. I am enlightened.

I can't believe the money you guys pay for these cars, maybe because it's a new model, and you guys get your cars from the dealer. Leasing companies is the way to go since they get a "fleet rate" . In the end you have a contract with BMW financial and go to dealer for service same as you would if you got car from the dealer. I have an e90 335i and my lease is up in 6 months. I pay 540$ a month with NYS taxes included for a fully loaded 335i sport, and I'm expecting to pay the same if I hop into another 335i , or even considering a 328 if my payments will be about 420$ a month taxes included. And 0$ money down

Being 30+ years with Boeing I know the merits of airlines using leasing companies, which is a huge part of aircraft sales. Personally, I preferred the ability to configure exactly what I wanted, and I mean exact. This is my first lease deal simply because I want to avoid being anal about oil changes, getting the car in the rain and other such stuff that in some ways diminishes the use and enjoyment of owning the car. Big factor was also what I really want is the new M3/4 and want an easier financial transition in three years. Performance Center Delivery is a plus as well. In any case, the deal for my 335..

MSRP 55,120
Paid 52,870
Residual 35,212
36 Months/12K @ year including tax 757.66

you can still configure exactly what you want when using a leasing company, and you will wait just as long as you would normally.

My brother went through a leasing company (same one i used) and he configured an m sport 335i e92 white on red, waited for it to get built and sent in, and pays id say at MOST 620$ with NYS taxes included.

I have not looked into the f30 328i / 335i quotes yet, but I would have to assume that after this model has been out for about a year or two, the prices off leasing will go down dramatically to what me and my brother are paying.

Think about it... I'm paying 540 a month for my 335i and your paying 200$ more a month, does that seem right ?
Also my msrp is 51,000, and I got the 2010 model. The $200 newer model is a high premium IMO

infinitigor, why dont you go to your leasing company and get a quote for a fully loaded F30 335i, and then come back here.

you said it yourself, waiting a year or two and F30s will get down to your prices, and yet you dont understand that a newly released car commands a premium over a seven year old model.
