The dealer (SoCal) claims they only sell M5 Wagons at an above-MSRP markup, so this is a good deal (first photo). I’m not convinced it is. Another nearby SoCal dealer is offering $2k below MSRP on a lower spec’d model, quoting me at $2140/mo with first month and reg fees upfront (second photo). With my X3M trade in (I have 4 mo left on lease), is it at all possible to get to a sub $2k/mo with zero drive-off? I’m definitely not putting anything down.
Dealer #1 (SoCal)
Dealer #2 (SoCal)
Would love any advice, looking to pull triggers this week. Thanks in advance.

It’s crazy to sell m5 at markup, ignore it, follow advice above

Sorry, I’m not familiar with AutoCompanion. Mind explaining? Looks like 7% off MSRP is achievable?
Thank you

He’s a broker. Click on his name and follow instructions.
With that mustache he doesn’t follow Instructions
Checks out. $24k or $27k down is a great idea for the lease.
Did you get other purchase quotes on your trade?
Are you looking to order or get one in stock?
Don’t pull the trigger. Call me. 949-775-1714. The entire package is off. I can make this so much prettier.

I haven’t gotten any other purchase quotes
For the quickest results:
Copy your VIN to your clipboard and just paste it into each site. Quicker than plate lookup.
Enter “I own the vehicle” where applicable — you don’t need to get into the details of your lease payoff or loan balance until you’ve eventually chosen one entity to sell to.
Use a Google Voice or some other device you can turn off at will. Otherwise your real phone will be bombarded initially.

Oh this is great, thank you! I just plugged it into Bidbus and got an instant estimate of $62,875. I’ll run it through a few more. Much appreciated.
Always separate the trade from the new deal. You have lots of great advice already to find a deal without bs addons - keep grinding.
bidbus was a pain in the butt when I tried to sell my m2. I would just go with carvana/carmax if the numbers aren’t far off
They payment on a $140K loan ($0 down and wrapping the tax into the loan) on 72 month and 6.5% apr is $2342. This is not a vehicle to lease unless you really want to give the value risk to the bank.
Had a great experience with bidbus, got me in touch with a dealer that pays top dollar. Sold two more cars to him outside of bidbus. Would recommend
Top5 worst ideas I have ever seen. Keep what you have.
