BMW 530e lease hacking limits

Seems like times are a bit crazy.

Interestingly, for the 530e there is a federal credit on purchase but it’s not passed through on a lease.

So far here is what I gathered:

1750 lease credit
750 loyalty
1166 California rebate

Dealer discount:

Given the federal rebate is $5,836
And invoice is usually at 92%, I’m assuming the delta on a 62k car would be $4,960

Would it be safe to assume the negotiation floor is 5,836 + 4,960 = $10,796 ??

Currently I’m getting $7,500 dealer discount across multiple dealerships, but wanted to get the veterans here to weigh in if my target is realistic.

Thoughts?

Many many data points in marketplace by brokers and shared deals. I suggest you start there. If you’re in NorCal. I see some loaners that have been sitting for awhile. You won’t get ccfr though.

I am in NorCal.

Haven’t seen any loaners floating around, although I did scan the marketplace and forum.

Mind sharing some of your findings?

I would set 8% pre incentives as the floor.

I would disagree with the 8% notion.

Dealers across the board are now offering 12% based on what I shared above. Which makes me wonder if some of that federal tax incentive is passed as truncated money to the dealers.

Invoice is ~94%.

Find me a dealer doing 12% off pre incentive regularly on any new 5 series right now and you’ve got a job.

Not arguing with you but lots of data points for 530e in California like I said in broker ads and shared deals. Good luck!

Nice find!

A bit diverging from the original question, but you are correct, there are loaners floating in the market :slight_smile:

The ones in concord are over 5k miles so might be unleasable + I’m looking for an xDrive.

Still curious if there is a good way to find out what is the trunk money on 530e.

They changed the limit to 7500 miles. Have you ever seen trunk money on 5 series before?

The rules have changed.
If you can find a new car at 12% pre-incentives + 3666 incentives at buy rate, I think that’s a very good deal. Post on shared deal once you sign, my lease is not up for a few months so I won’t steal your car :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I just leased a 530e at a 12% pre-incentive discount in norcal. It came at a 0.00020 bump in MF though.

I hit up all dealers in Norcal and beyond, including all my usual dealer contacts whom I’ve purchased from before. Only 1 was willing to do it and even that took work and patience.

Not saying you’re bs’ing about having multiple dealers at 12% pre-incentive. Just a data point. Maybe it was also because the ones I targeted had m-sport and shadowline.
