Trading E90 for F30, good deal?

This is for a 2013 328i Sedan
Mineral White with red leather

MSRP: $46,995
Selling Price: $43,750
College student and loyalty discount

36 Months/15k miles a year
Total Due at Signing: $5000
Monthly Payment: $482

Good deal? I'll likely pass on this exact car because I'm looking for one with harmon kardon but want to know if these numbers sound right?

Going from 335 to 328? Did you do extended test drive on both?

Def get the HK. I have it on my 335 and my BMW loaner 328 does not. It is a huge difference. However, in the sound department the engine in the 328 sounds terrible.

Selling Price? Is that price after College Studen 1K and Loyalty?

Garage List
Seems a little bit high for putting 5k down at signing. So you're not rolling taxes, fees, etc into the lease and paying them up front? I would expect if you put $$ money down, it should reduce your cap cost. In order to truly evaluate we would need the following numbers:

- Money factor
- Tax rate for your state
- Residual (make sure its 58% for 15k/3 year)
- Leasing Acquisition fee

I honestly have not test driven either but 85% of my driving is in traffic so I think the 328i would be okay. I haven't had time to make it to the dealer yet so i've just been going around getting quotes online. I wasn't aware those numbers mattered so i'll have to ask about them, this would be my first time leasing.

Do an extended test drive of both. Do a full run of your commute and then some. This will give you a good idea how about the difference. The difference in your monthly wont be much since you are leasing.
