Anyone who is considering buying/leasing this kind of car that has a wife, kids and not enough insurance in case of death or disability is a total idiot.

Selfish, self-centered, and irresponsible total idiot!

No the numbers quoted are all at MSRP no markups.

To be fair the M5/M6 #'s are with mark downs from MSRP but for the M3 the #'s are all sticker.

Hey there,

Where did you find a M5 13k below the MSRP? There is not even that much markup to cover that discount they are giving you. Thanks in advance.

Which is a lot better than the M3 numbers.

It was at Lenvin BMW (I think thats what it was called). All three cars sold though.

I am getting a 24 month/10k mile lease with MSDs on a $68,500 M3 Sedan.

Payment (without taxes) is $1135.

Might put a few grand down to just have it at the $1000 number for the sake of posterity.


C63 is cheaper, but their money factor is a lot worse so it all comes out even it seems. Plus I was disappointed in the lack of options on the vehicle and the cheapish interior.

The S5 is a viable competition still....it's a beautiful car, but less practical than a sedan of course.

I think a Porsche is a better choice for the money......

Since the S5 does not fill the practicality he is looking for, I doubt a Porsche would fit

[cosmos515]

You ain't gettin a new Porsche for $1135 a month, not even a Cayman.

Yeah, Caymans go for way less than $1135/mo.

C'mon now. They're not astronomically priced.

Even a new base 911 could go for $1350/mo.

Get one slightly used(less than 6k miles) and you could save tons.

They've been making the 997 since MY07 so you could save LOTS.

For the money, I'd go w/ the 08 M6.

The S5 is not a viable competitor at all- the E92 335i is the competitor to the S5. An M3 or a C63 will annhilate the S5. The S5 is damn gorgeous though...

Yea the M6 Coupe is hot- and for the money I think it's starting to look alot more attractive. I drove my uncle's M6 Vert all weekend and it's a freakin monster- the noise that engine makes is the stuff of dreams...

Totally agree...I wasn't comparing for performance...but the S5 looks absolutely stunning IMO. But I would have M3 envy! Unlike if I had the M3...I would just admire it

MF is 0.00245, which will drop in March to 0.00215

Mantis--is this MF still correct? Or will it stay at .00245?

[MFL101]

The money factor they use for MSDs is .00216. That's if you use the full (7)MSDs.

Would the Money Factor lower for the M3 as well? I will probably be ordering sometime this month or I could wait till the first week of April....if the rates will drop and I will save money! Anyone know?

Which means the lease would have been like 1100 a month + tax if it was a manual (cuz not only does the tip cost more, the the residual on a tip is one or two points less because nobody wants one).

Could you PM me the dealer because I have been looking for a deal like that for a while... thanks.

[grizzy727]

my friend just leased a 08 carrera--slim options for 1100 a month for 36 months
so find a dog on the lot and start to deal on it
but 40k for 3years is alot -might as well buy
