CA-NorCal: BMW i4m50 lease terms?

Hi there!

I’m looking to a i4m50 lease and have got a quote from a dealer for a 74,000 MSRP car in stock.

MSRP: 74,000
Selling price: 67,5XX
Plus some protection program: 68,9XX
Plus tax and fees: 76,1XX

Lease term: 36mo/10k miles/yr
Cash down: 3000/5000/7000
Monthly payment: 988/925/863 (depending on cash down)

I’m new to leasing a car so want to get some feedback from you folks. I did remember hearing from friends that monthly payment of ~1% of MSRP would be a good deal but maybe that was a few years ago when the rate is much lower.

Any suggestions? What would be a reasonable target for monthly payment for a car in this range? Also, I’m not very clear about the buy-out options. How is the buy-out cost calculated? Is it just the RV or should I add something else on top?

Thanks and hope you all have a good day!!

They are not giving you any discount pre incentives. Also b.s add ons. Get stuff on paper and post back. Is this in stock or build ?

This is what the dealer sent. I tried to use the calculator but it just cannot get this ~1k number. And it’s a in-stock car… Should I just walk away?

It’s not a bad discount but they are adding back $1400 in fees that you should try to get removed (appearance & dent protection). Hard to say what the money factor is you are being quoted but I would guess it’s not buy rate, given it yields the payments shown here.

Did you check on here with brokers to see if there’s something better on this model ?

I just tried again in calculator and it seems they did not add the $7,500 lease credit at all and I’m able to reproduce those numbers… Does that make sense? I thought they should try to make their number looks better by any means…

Yeah I filled a request form with @BMW_Dave. Hopefully he’ll be able to help.

Correct - they’re selling you this car with no discount and keeping part of the $7,500. I can do 8% off, base MF, and the $7,500 in NorCal.

They have a $7500 rebate listed in the “lease options” grid. The payment isn’t off by enough to be short $7500. With the full MF markup (and $699x2 fees) I have a target payment of $988 (inc tax) with $3000 DAS.

Missed that on the right! I’ve been at my computer for 14 hours answering inquiries…I’m fried.

Either way, even after the broker fee, I can save OP almost $1,000.

I was trying to use the LH rate finder and it assumes MF of 0.0021, and I guess their 3000/5000/7000 is just ‘down payment’ instead of DAS.
Basically if I remove the 7500 credit the resulted number pretty much match theirs.

I think you got it but missed the 2 x $699 add-ons. Autonation deal sheets are so mis-leading.

Especially since they add in the sales tax. With the $1,400 in add-ons, I’m $2,500 less, even after the broker fee. :slight_smile:

Sounds like a plan… Would you mind letting me know the service/broker fee, and estimate of monthly payment and DAS would be?

I’m getting about 881/month w/ tax + 1566 DAS but please correct me if I did it wrong.

Offer them $66,500, base money factor and no protection plans.

Yes we can. Please submit an inquiry.

your missing the dealer fee and government fees so DAS would be more like $3K

Sure I just did that.
