2017 BMW 330e - 146.04/mo + tax

Signed Deals & Tips

Everyone: hold on to your seats!

2017 BMW 330e

MSRP: $55,850
Selling Price: $42,500 (loaner with 4,5xx miles)

Rebates: $8,500 (Holiday Cash-$3,000, iPerformance Cash-$3,000, Loyalty-$1,500, College Grad $1,000)
Price After Rebates: $34,000

Doc/Dealer Fees: $ 340
Acquisition Fee: $925
Adjusted Residual for Miles: $34,170.50

Down Payment: $614

MF: .00192 - dealer refused to give me .00152

Payment (30m/12k): $146.04 – 0.26% of MSRP

Here’s where it gets real ugly y’all:

Texas taxes: $3,254.69 /30 =108.49+146.04 = $254.53 – 0.45% of MSRP

Here is when it gets even uglier:

I had a $6,700 negative equity rolled into the lease from the car I traded in (2012 528i)

It became a little less with the tax savings but my payment ended up being $444.32 – 0.79% of MRSP.

Trading in the car hurt me in ways I cannot describe. I loved it. The 3 series feels like a downgrade even though it’s absolutely loaded. Even with all the negative aspects of this deal, I feel like I still came out ahead with a total payment 21% below our 1% golden rule.

I recommend everyone get the Leasematic App on their phones, it’s a fantastic tool to help you get where you want to be and doublecheck the dealer numbers. The calculator on here is complicated to use in real life situations.

Wow. Can your deal be replicated?

Man the BMW cash out there lately is INSANITY

Probably not, they only have one more retired 330e loaner. It has less features (Way lower MSRP) , it’s $5k more expensive and it has more than 8k miles so no rebates + reduced residual

6

using the leasematic app, but how does one know how much of a MF reduction you’ll get with each MSD?

7

Imagine getting that deal in a state that charges tax on monthly payment and with no negative equity.
Great deal congrats

You can always google it or look through different posts here.

Off the top of my head i know Mercedes is .0007 each up to 10 and Infiniti is .0009 each up to 10 with a min of 2.

couldn’t find something for toyotas and does it have to w/ the monthly payment at all?

I know @SnowMan, I’d get a new car every year. The main drawback from Leasing in Texas. Although the registration fees in states like California are outrageous. They’re about 90$ in Texas for all vehicles vs several hundred.

FYI the other loaner at Louisville now has over 5000 miles and cannot be leased competitively.

13

Yeah just looked at their website it has 5285 over by 285 Wow that sucks yesterday when I was there it didn’t

14

Congrats on the deal, but this perplexes me. So you had a 2012 528i, so it wasn’t a lease… why feel the need to unload it and take on that much negative equity if you loved the car so much?

The car was fantastic when it was under warranty/maintenance, I didn’t mind the constant trips to the dealer to get things fixed.

Things got ugly once the warranty expired. I probably spent roughly $5,000 into repairs/maintenance in 2017 and it needed another $2,500 at the time of trade in. Last month I got a BMW letter saying that my car had a faulty plastic guide for the timing chain that was known to fail and cause catastrophic engine damage and their extension of warranty would expire in just few thousand miles. It also had $12,000 worth of repaired damage from a girl who hit it at school.

When I factored in the money saved from the repairs, the additional tax savings and the extra piece of mind and freedom to drive the car like it’s meant to be driven without fear of braking something, it became a more manageable amount.
The best part is that it was rolled into the lease and still made it a great deal with a relatively low payment.

As much as I hate to admit it, a BMW outside of warranty really is Big Money Wasted.

For folks in Socal, Shelly BMW has a 300e loaner listed for sale ~50k. MSRP is 55k. You can replicate this deal if you can talk them down another 7.5k on the sale price. Good luck! This would be an insane deal.

18

Isn’t the fact that the 330e at Shelly is listed as a cpo mean it’s not able to be leased?

@Empirestate any BMW dealership in the NY Tri-State area be willing to replicate that deal?

Crap, would love to jump in on a short term (24 month) lease with that low of a payment (especially on a loaded 3 series)
