Looking for feedback on the following deal: Location: Texas 2025 BMW i4 eDrive40 demo 6500 miles 36/10K M Sport / Premium Package $1500 down $529 / month [IMG_8915]

It’s the dealers protection program they add to all vehicles. It’s a way of padding their numbers. When I asked to take it off, they said they couldn’t or wouldn’t on this deal because it’s “such a great deal”. DAS is $1500 + first month.

He meant that you need to put the current mileage of the car into the calculator. The residual is reduced by 25 cents per every mile already on the car. A high residual is a good thing, not a bad thing, FYI.
