Not my best hack, but happy with the deal.
This is my 10th leasehackr lease since I discovered this site in 2015, very greatful to Michael and community for making this place great.

Congrats on your deal. Was this a 2024 or 2025 model? What trim?

Congratulations! Awesome deal for sure. I am getting closer every day but still about 6k - 8k away from your awesome hack. Nice job! I have a new strategy about to try it out. Been searching inventory for 2024’s thinking most will be loaners with perhaps more lease cash on them. And I think maybe the money factor might be lower on the 2024’s. Then find out who the GM is (dealer site, Linkedin, or just call and ask) Working on an email to send directly to the GM with my offer. Plan on being extremely respectful and hoping to get one to bite. With a little luck thinking this could be a win win for both parties and only take 5 minutes to move a unit. I’m in Florida so any tips are welcome. Respectfully, LIA

Cue the private messages to share the dealer information

Why do you think OP will willfully share the dealer info? Or better yet, why would the same dealer replicate?

I don’t know what it is about this design that makes it look so good at least in my eyes. To put things into perspective, x5 has gone through 3 complete design cycles since this car was introduced and yet a small light design change like 25.5 is enough to keep this design going for another century.

If this suv had a v8 or a v6 B58 like drivetrain it would be an instant classic like the G class/911 . I know you guys probably think I’m crazy . My wife certainly think so and doesn’t understand why I bought this car. But it is one of those designs that the more you look at the lines the more you appreciate the beauty of every angle. This is the only car that I have owned that simply does not have an ugly angle. The extra tall rear glass, and the tail lights wrapping around it.

There are however couple things that I don’t get about this car:

  1. Why the black out trim was discontinued 3 years back as it was simply the greatest design of this generation
  2. Why in the hell can’t I set the charger start time in the car or on the app
  3. Why did gauge cluster digital designer with beautiful dual circle dials were replaced for the rather bland half circle ones
  4. The early year grills with less chrome certainly look better

So oddly the early iterations of this suv are more appealing to the eye than the latter ones

Congrats, nice car! What was the MSRP?

Except the OP already did, oops! Zoom in.

2025, plus, 76K MSRP.

Good eyes. Not my problem, let the calls roll in. Dealer is the best bet in the LA area.

I was joking having recently posted my own deal and getting a million private messages.

And yes, the dealers already noted on this picture. Part of the joke was that OP would still get the messages despite the info in the pic.

This should count as an infraction with the possibility of being booted from LH. A couple of years back another member called the Alfa Romeo Giulia as Alpha Romeo Julia and that broke my heart.

How dare they disrespect the Italian lemon

If mine wasn’t a 2 year lease I’d do this.

They had ridiculously good colors back in 2020. Bursting Blue and Fusion Red.
How the hell it evolves into Vapour Gray being the most tolerable in the line?

What was the dealer discount off MSRP?

Never for the 90 though

That was a different red. Passion?
