BMW 540i Southern California

Ask the Hackrs

Hi,
I have been shopping dealerships for a 540i lease and have been presented with a few offers but none of them really feel great so I wanted to get your opinions…
All the dealers are telling me they had to get special approval to make these deals for me, maybe i should be impressed with the deals but they just aren’t compelling… I was hoping to take advantage of MSD to get the monthly down but thats not an option, ppl tell me to look at a Benz but i m only 40, not ready for a benz yet…

what do you guys & gals think of this deal below?

You didn’t even list the monthly payment. In general though, you won’t find any great deals on BMW anymore, unless for possibly some loaners.

Personally, I think 40 years old is the appropriate age for MB owners. :laughing:

I was almost embarrassed to list the monthly payment, but here they are
Cash Due
36 months
Rebates: $1,000
Cash due/ monthly payment
$3,000 / $713
$4,000 / $683
$5,000 / $652

Those #s are putrid. Is there still 2k loyalty?

5

agree, but what should i expect? what deal should i tell the dealer is needed so i can commit?

6

Why are they charging you sales tax on the entire car?

7

So no nighttime protection? :disappointed_relieved:

8

good point, what is my capital cost? is it 65273.45 or is it 60,000?

9

Shouldn’t you be the one that provides that for us to review?

10

Do you have your heart set on a 5 series? The only incentive BMW offers on it is a $1k lease cash and the dealer is already giving you a 9% off msrp. You’re not going to get a much better deal.

Consider searching for a loaner or a different sedan like the Jag XF.

the xfs are having very good deals this month it seems but i understand hes in a pickle here. there’s not much to cross shop a 540i with. e300 is a i4,g80 sport is my car and i like it but u have brand issues with that, audi a6 3.0t is getting old and is awd and fwd based. lexus gs350 fsport would be cheaper and pretty fun to drive with a little less speed but I think its his closest option.

Yeah these BMW’s have been leasing pretty terribly, even the loaners @ pacific are $459+5k down on a 530
