Yeah, I don't see them hacking $10K off sticker on an M3 like with the M5's. Maybe $3K? I wouldn't wait either! Instead I'm just sitting here all wishy washy What I wonder is how BMW is going to deal with this "downturn" in the US. They have new incentives on several models thru the end of Feb, as long as you buy from "overflowing" dealer stock. I wonder if BMW will just cut US production to keep prices up? I think that's what Porsche did with the Cayman and Boxster, but I haven't paid attention to the Cayster market lately.... What I do know is that the Cayenne is still their best-selling vehicle! Sorry I went OT.

Whatever needs to be done. But at a 2% discount, free 19" wheels and tires make a good sacrifice.

I bet the MB will have similar payments to the BMW or higher. With interest rates as low as they are, why not buy? |

Could someone help me figure out what my lease payment would be? Sorry, not great with all this stuff....
The M3 I am looking at is $67,000. I would want either 24, 30 or 36 month lease. 10k miles. Really really appreciate it! |

i just contacted 4 different banks about M3 lease. all banks seem to have much lower residual than BMWFS. i wonder how they can compete with BMW prices then?
ya'll got an idea? |

Was the MF better though? And if so, did it work out that the banks you tried were overall cheaper, or was BMWFS cheaper?

this is very strange! how can they get cheaper payments (all other parameters fixed, term length/miles) There's this one company that said it's tough to compete against BMW's "inflated" residuals. my hopes for M3 are getting smaller How can they compete if they have lower residuals??? so far i have tried siglease (signature lease), leasecompare, and 2 banks one of them is Texas Credit Union. Next im going to try my company's credit union. maybe they can offer me something |

Also, I am amazed that these banks have lease numbers out already for the new M3. |

right now im just feeling for who have historically competed with BMW. im getting quotes on 335's to get a feeling if they can compete or not. no they dont have lease numbers. that's what im trying to tell you. they have for 335, but not M3. |

Yes, I think that is exactly what they would end up doing on a car like the M3. They put out this round production target of 100k, but that's just a floater. If things take a real downturn, they might offer some incentives to clear lots, but the real impact would be on production volume I think. It would be a different story for the regular 3-series cars though.

Why do we all know the E90 will decrease at a greater %. Take a look at the Bluebook the last year they had an M3 sedan and coupe. Sedans trade-in values are higher. |

That's why there is something called an "Edit" button. Perhaps you have seen it...?

I am a sucker for new models and have bought a Mini, three bimmers and four Lexus within the first month or two of release. Even though I prefer to lease, each of these cases I had to buy since leasing made no sense at the early rates. As the models age, leasing becomes very attractive as a sells mechanism for luxury cars.
This is nothing new. They have to pull in profit by whatever works best. Early adopters are always willing to pay more. If you do not want to pull the trigger, someone standing behind you will. |

Help for a lease novice, please
Lets just say you were able to get the price of the car for below MSRP (I know highly unlikely), how dramatically does this effect the lease price? The residual is the same, I assume. Also, if the car is more optioned out would the lease payments be dispropotionatly higher as the these options devaulate more quickly. Additionally, is there a simple way to estimate a payment by multiplying the # of thousands of dollars (cost of the car) by a particular coeficient? If so does anyone have that coeficient for the M3? Thanks and sorry if these are novice questions, but I am curious.
