Thanks to this forum, and special shout-out to @avocautos who helped with ideas and feedback (thanks so much HK!), got this deal.

I felt it was decent for a higher MSRP X3 xDrive30i loaner in NorCal – I had grinded through most of the loaners in stock at the Bay Area dealerships – no one really wanted to offer anything more than 11-12%  
(and very often marked up the MF). I also fell in love with Dark Graphite with Mocha Vernasca Leather color combo. Given we have a toddler my wife and I decided flying down to SoCal to pick up a deal there was a non-starter due to potential COVID exposure. Didn’t quite match my [screaming first lease deal on a BMW 330i deal in 2017](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/2017-bmw-330i-loaner-in-ca-281-mo-with-tax/26111), but I’ll take it.

**Year, Make, Model, and Trim** : 2020 BMW X3 xDrive30i w/Convenience, Diving Assistance Package, Live Cockpit, and Mocha Vernasca Leather  
**MSRP** : $ 51,485  
**Selling Price** : $44,646  
**Monthly Payment** : $433+tax = $469  
**Drive-Off Amount** : $2000 drive-offs + $3500 (MSDs)  
**Months** : 36  
**Annual Mileage** : 10,000  
**MF** : 0.00082 reduced by 7 MSDs = 0.00047 (buy rate)  
**RV** : 55% reduced by 3.3k mileage = 53.7%  
**Incentives** : $2500 ($1000 lease cash, $1000 loyalty, $500 OL code)  
**Region** : NorCal  
**Leasehackr Score** : 8.9 years  
**Leasehackr Calculator Link** : [Leasehackr Calculator - Hack your next lease | Leasehackr](http://leasehackr.com/calculator?make=BMW&miles=10000&msd=7&msrp=51485&sales_price=44646&months=36&mf=.00082&dp=156&dealer_fee=115&acq_fee=925&taxed_inc=2500&untaxed_inc=0&rebate=0&resP=55&reg_fee=23&sales_tax=8.5&demo_mileage=3379&memo=&acqFee_check=true&monthlyTax_radio=true)

Originally, the sales associate gave me full $1000 discount on OL code from recent Feeding America test drive event, but somehow finance only wanted to give the $500 amount, so GM reduced the selling price $500 to honor their quote of $433+tax on my deal.

**One tip** : I often felt giving a flat $2k down (knowing the drive-off on all these X3 loaners was close since no full reg fee and having ~$150 cap cost reduction) number worked the best to try to normalize most of the scores instead of asking for a straight drive-offs with no cap cost reduction number. Also, I dictated the terms – basically said I want X monthly payment with $2k driveoffs + $3.5k (7xMSDs) = $5.5k out the door was the best way to pit the dealers against each other. Eventually I go this deal by taking dealer 1 and pitting with dealer 2, then getting the best result and pitting that against dealer 3, and did so for about 4-5 dealers to get down to the target price I wanted (since most didn’t start anywhere close).

EDIT: Added a few pics.

Is that on the 2021 or 2020? I got the 2020 numbers from Edmunds for the sDrive, assumed xDrive was similar. Edmunds couldn’t seem to provide numbers for me for 2020 recently.

Yeah makes sense. This is a 2020, the numbers a different. Slightly more rebates on the '21s it seems!

If the rebates aren’t as good on the 2020, and the residual is obviously lower, got to get a huge discount to compensate. Shoot for 10% off, plus incentives with base money factor on a 2021. Brokers can get you 11-11.5% off. You would basically save about .5% after paying their broker fee. Good luck.
