Strange…a few of the dealers I’ve reached out to have said BMW is not offering lease rebate on the 3series this month, contrary to what @BMW_Dave 's May post says, though some others do claim to honor it. They said the dealers that are are probably going through a third party. wtf. Lol.
It looks like only certain pockets of the country get 3er lease support. My area in Western PA doesn’t have any support.

Yep, same response here in the midwest no 18 3 series incentives. Kind of strange because I would imagine it would be nationwide and not regional
I’ll agree with you on that, the new 3 Series is a great car and BMW really woke up when they designed it. I’d be surprised to see dealers offer better than a 6% invoice discount since it’s still a new, redesigned, in-demand model.
I have seen in the bmw website that they have the following discount:
Affiliate Offer : $1,000 cash back on select BMW models
Who is the affiliate? Can you provide some insight on this. Is it USAA? Agree l or are there more?
Didn’t we already see 9.5%

12-13% is definitely possible on any BMW depending on how motivated the dealer is to move them.
I fully plan to aim for 15%+ when it’s my turn to go to that table again.
Is 12% on a new 530e realistic?
I’ve had 2 dealers offer 12%, but im still pushing for 15%.
haha, im gonna use your sheet to push for more discounts on mine.

Don’t see why it wouldn’t be. One can aim for 15% or more all day long if they like.
I can aim for 20 too but try to figure out what’s realistic. So for I have contacted 5 dealers and no one wants to go above 9%. I have been asking for 15 and they don’t even want to counter.
Possibly. Waiting to see what kind of approval I can get on pricing.
All this talk about 15%+ off on a NEW 2019 530e is hilarious. Maybe in other regions they have trunk money on this model but in So Cal there isn’t. Invoice is 6% and anything beyond that puts us in the red.
There’s a reason that @JamesBond isn’t getting a counter. 15% is a “potential” discount on a loaner if it’s been sitting long enough and the dealer is motivated. Yes we’ve all seen more (on a loaner) but that’s the rare exception, not the norm. As far as a new car discount on this model, it’s an insult or a laughable request. The quote above - if it’s real (strange how the word “NEW” is a totally different font than the rest) - shows a 12.4% discount which would be a negative $4k deal with no factory support to cushion that blow. I’m not saying it’s not possible if the stars aligned, meaning maybe that dealer needed only a few more new cars to hit some major factory bonus for the month. What I am saying is that if you’re going in with the expectation of 15% off a new 530e, you’re going to be disappointed no matter how good of deal you get which only sours what may end up being a crazy good deal like the one @bmw4 claims to have (which he hopefully locked down already and should be doing back flips over).

If people have time to photoshop a deal sheet (which is very tempting), they got way too much time on their hand. With all the information on the forum and lease sheet from Dave, it’s not impossible to get close to 15% on a new one. Emphasis on “not impossible,” meaning very VERY rare. As they stress out all over the forum, it’s all about finding the right dealer on the right day on the right inventory. I myself saw the Texas 530e deal and was scouting for a unicorn. Wasted about 2 weeks, got my expectations straightened out, and signed a 3 series in like 4 days.
It was my first time leasing, and hell I probably have spent 50+ hours learning and talking to the dealers. Although it was fun and learned what to do next time, I was very distracted at work. If I were to go back, I would just hire a broker off the bat or get one of the deals the dealers post. It’s a great deal if you don’t want to get your hands dirty. Hindsight 20/20, my time would’ve been way better spent if I had hired someone or went with one of the deals here. By the time I realized, I was in too deep in the process.
Here’s a quick tip for first timers: 10% off new & 15% off loaner is realistic, 15% new & 20% loaner isn’t (but still possible. If you want one, get ready for the stressful month of your life.)
Anyways, attached is the initial offer to the above 12.4% proposal.

Sorry to bump such an old response… I want to make sure I have this correct… fleet stacks with the lease rebate AND all the other usuals- grad, OL, CCA?!
Fleet changed. You either get fleet price, which varies by car, or incentives. Dealer is the only one that can tell you fleet price. Choose the better of the 2 programs.
