2017 BMW i3 REx lease - 36mo / 10k mi / $298mo

Hi : Can I get info too? thank you

Hey guys. Sounds like Pierre is giving you solid advice.

I was part of the group buy back in December and it worked out well. The year-end really helped and we had a lot of dealers willing to work with us. The magic number for a straight up discount off MSRP seemed to be 13% which included the Holiday Cash of $1000. From there several of us were able to stack on Fleet 9 ($1500) or Loyalty ($1000).

I bought a loaded REx for $57,195. My monthly is $295. I put 7 MSD’s down at $2100 (refundable) and about $2400 in first month, Disp Fee, etc. I have applied for the $2500 State rebate which will offset that so essentially no money down. I did 30 months and 10K miles. 12K miles would have been about $22 more per month. 36 Month lease would have been even lower monthly payment.

Been driving my new i3 and I love it.

The dealers who were willing to work with us the most were Rusnak (they had 48 i3’s in stock), McKenna, and Crevier (Crevier had a few issues for a couple of the members so they went to McKenna).

Good luck!

Wow that sounds sweet. I just started talking prices with dealerships and the most I have right now is 7.5% MSRP. I have a long way to go.

How many people were there in the group?

Also, if anyone else is looking to lease 2017 i3 REx in Southern California I’m down to sign up for another group deal!

Nyurka, can you share info on how much and who. Looking to do same deal this weekend.

Pierre definitely got the best deal. I got 12.5% off MSRP + 1500 fleet discount (total 15.3% off of MSRP) at McKenna BMW, Norwalk, CA in December… Happy to share details if anyone is interested.

These are some really good deals. I am getting nowhere close to these in bay area. I guess I have to talk to socal dealers. BTW, how do you qualify for the fleet discount?

I will be interested in teaming up with anyone looking to buy this month. @Nyurka did you get any deal yet? @SoloPierre I will PM you . It will be great if you could put me in touch with your sales person.

Hi Pierre:

Is this deal still available now?

Thank you

@SecureJon, @asaxena76,

My MSRP was $51,795 and negotiated price/cap cost before $7500 credit was $46,340, which included $1500 fleet discount. The fleet deal also reduced the MF from minimally possible 0.00087 (with 7 MSDs) to 0.00065. You get it if you work for certain companies, and have to show some sort of proof at signing, offers are updated monthly (but stayed the same for a while now http://bmwgroupcorporatesalesoffers.com/)

Payment is $289+tax with paying $925 lease acq fee at signing. Drive off was just shy of $5K (2,450 of MSDs and the rest towards tax, reg, lease acq fee and first payment).

I got it at BMW of San Rafael. I also got decent quotes from BMW Concord, and BMW Stevens Creek (San Jose), it came down to color and options, and looking which dealer had what I wanted. You may also want to try Weatherford BMW (Berkeley).

Ppl have been having a hard time getting the same deal in Jan. There were a lot of incentives in Dec to move i3s. I heard from my Sales guy that the the closest he can get to my deal would be about $2500 more. That includes the corp fleet money. That translates into a little more than $5k off MSRP and a $1500 corp fleet discount. There might be some incentives in March or April on the i3. If time is on your side, you might want to wait it out. The Bolt might have an impact on their sales.

The dealer is Vista BMW. It’s just inland from Oceanside. Aaron was my sales guy, but he has not been too responsive. You might want to try Ronaldo Boschi. I heard that someone on the board had some luck with him. He is also an Internet Sales Manager at Vista.

I also worked with Shelly and Crevier back in December. They were willing to deal, but their discounts were not as generous. They were within $2k of my Vista deal.

30months
10K/year
MSRP is $54295
Selling Price $49135 (10% off MSRP)

And your MF should go down 20 points to .00065.
What’s your payment now?

@max_g Thank you for the feedback

Right now with
7500 fed rebate
0 downpayment

monthly before tax is $328

Does BMW have loyalty discount? I currently have 5 series lease.

Why not lease an VW e-Golf SE for $136/month ?

$31625 MSRP with DCFC

Stevens Creek VW - ask for Brent

My co-worker and I each leased one last week.

I was going to lease an e-Golf but the range doesn’t work for my new job commute. Plus, the range extender on i3 greatly reduces the range anxiety. FWIW, e-Golf is a solid car if the range works for you.

e-Golf range was an issue for me as well.

Loyalty discount is from the dealers so it depends. I thought it was from BMWFS until I called them.

I got a 11.5% discount on a $53k i3 in SoCal on Sunday. I think you can aim 12% off if you can find a dealer eager to sell. I feel It’s kind of difficult to push beyond 12% off at this time of the year, but it won’t hurt to try.

p.s., Feb leasing terms are coming tonight.

Yes, That’s a great deal. I’m in talks with a dealer here in the San Fernando Valley for the same car and would like to apply your math. Can you also PM me the details? Cheers. @SoloPierre

I have reached out to 3 other dealers in the Bay Area and so far all the dealers stopped responding when I asked for 11.5% discount.
I am in no hurry, so I am planning to wait for another week and try again.

It’s ridiculous here in the Bay Area. I can’t even get any dealers to 10% off msrp. Like stated above, I’m stuck at 7.5% or so. Probably have to wait till March to try again.
