EV tax credit pass through: $7500
Acquisition fee: $925
Tax/title/Other fees: $350
1% tax after tax credit: $457

Adjusted Cap Cost: $47500
RV$ 29300
Lease: $524/mo with $5500 DAS or $677 with $0 DAS
Others much more up to speed on this particular car can comment, but to my novice eyes this actually seems like a relatively good deal for this particular model at this time. As to whether it is a good value compared to competitors, that would be another question.
Yes and no. Iâm offering 5% off on this, but if there is a âtax creditâ equal to 5.25%, then thatâs fine. However, the MF is marked up. Base is 0.00185.
Something isnât matching up though. Calculator is $30 a month more with $0 at signing:
$20 a month off with $5,500 at signig:
BMW dealers can increase MF .0004 so the MF is most likely .00225.
Looks like you have an extra $500 dealer fee which is not part of my cost in the second calculation. I also rounded numbers here or there but monthly payments are accurate
Thanks all, looks to be good enough of a deal I will move forward. Not the best MF but if rates drop I may buyout the lease and finance at 2-3%.
Thatâs rather insane pricing for a car whose most obvious competitor sells for $45k plus tax, less $7,500 if eligible, less any state or utility rebates.
Tesla doesnât offer a leasing sales tax rebate in TX so you pay 6.25% MSRP at signing a lease. FWIW I had a strong preference for the interior of the i4 vs the model 3.
Thatâs what I was hinting at above. This trim is a direct competitor to the base M3 so one has to have a subjective preference for the BMW in order to have this make sense. That said, thereâs nothing wrong with that, most car buying experiences have a very large subjective component to them.
Tesla leases also donât have a buyout option, so it removes the potential of ending with positive equity. You made the right choice in TX, even if you liked them equally.
I actually just reached out to IAC this morning and sounds like a better deal may be available. Will update afterwards.
A BMW in 3 years with positive equity!?!?!?? Man I hope you are right, but thats almost never been the case. The past 2 years donât count 
Paid 40K for my wifeâs new 51K MSRP X3 back in late 2019âŚCarvana buyout last week was near 35K with 33K miles on itâŚpretty dang good! 
The last few years donât count. Even a Yugo would be positiveđ
Sent it. 
I hear ya but $5K cost for 33K miles over 39 months (128/mo) on a 52K MSRP BMW is pretty sweet! She ainât selling tho so doesnât matter! Haha
Yes, in 2019 times were good for buying and in 2022 times were great for selling so it was beautiful on both ends.
In Washington, if youâre looking for a lower monthly and donât plan to buy it out. This seems better https://www.bmwseattle.com/lease-finance-offers/ - $489/month
That price is with a âsuggestedâ $1.1k dealer contribution and is 7.5k miles. He would also lose out on the tax credits from the in state dealer which is equivalent to >$2k in savings.
Going with this from IAC. More expensive but better deal as we will find most of the upgrades in the car useful:
MSRP: $59815 + $658 dealer add-on
Net MSRP after discount: $56286
Acquisition and other Fees: $1287
EV Credit: $7500
Tax: $487.86
7 MSD for .00183 MF (or .00225 otherwise)
New deal: MSRP 60k; $5875 down = $483.75/mo plus shipping/broker fees/MSD opportunity cost = $536.5/mo. RV: $32.8k
Prior deal: MSRP: $54k; $5590 down, $524/mo, RV $29.2k
