Hey everyone, alright so my lease is ending in may, I have the choice to either finance it or to lease another car. Would it be a bad move to switch from my n54 to an n55 ? It would be a new car which is cool but would I be missing out a lot on the performance side? I have jb4, intakes and a muffler delete. I like the exhaust tone on the n55 and the new lci's. Any opinions on that ?

Sorry I didn't mention that I need xdrive, so the is would be out of the list.

You guys get good lease rates? I'm thinking of moving on from my 06 330i and thinking about leasing a new 335, as I'm interested in possibly changing my car every 3-4 years.

5.9% or 6.9% maybe , not too sure, I pay quite a lot for the lease. But i'd have to look back at the papers to see what the rate was when I leased it.

I just meant monthly payment wise (and how much you ended up putting down)

I'm seeing all the info on the bmw site as like $369 with like 4k down, but I'd want it fully loaded, so I'm assuming it'll be quite a bit more

Sorry, miss understood. I pay 1,150$/month with 0$ down for 39 months. Never have put money down on a lease. I'm wondering how much it is in the states for a lease 0$ down for 39 months!!! I see some prices on cars are very low on ebay.. why is that? I know its financing but the purchase tags are so low!!

[threethirtyfive]

Why don't you just buy? You are paying almost $50k in 39 months to have nothing. $1150 a month? Hell I could have bought a 911. What was the MSRP on your car? Sorry that lease number is HUGE for that car.

I know, I always say that but at the end, I don't need to worry about warranty and selling the car. I'll probably get bashed for saying that though haha! I was thinking of buying it, although I don't know if it'll look outdated in 2 years or so.. I don't have any papers in front of me so i'm not sure what the msrp was. Total price was about 61,000 or so if I remember. I was looking at c63's lately and saw the lease was around the same price, but they don't include taxes on their online site.. I should go see the mb dealership though

Lmao I wonder why its considered so high for you guys in the states!!! Anyone in Canada have any comments about the lease payment??

[Sethism]

I pay less than $1,100 for my house. I pay $312 a month for my BMW. If I bought new ($46,500 sticker), I would pay $803 per month with 0 down and 60 months. I think you've been had.

803$/month 0 down for 60 months.. that makes sense. Mine was new and its a 39 month lease. for 60 months obviously the lease is going to be a lot lower!

In Canada, I found that the lease rates for Audi, BMW and Mercedes ranged from 4.9 to 7.9%. The odd special at 2.9 to 3.9%

Previously, I re-leased my Audi for another 3 years with extended warranty. At the end of that lease, I was happy to return that A4. Wouldn't do that again, I was getting bored with the acceptable mods, higher cost of maintenance/repairs, and the car looked dated in my opinion.

I was lucky to score 1.9% finance on my current BMW and decided to finance vs. lease...this time.

Hopefully your next vehicle will have a good rate; BMW might offer you a slight % discount as part of their loyalty program (nothing spectacular).

Yeah, but you realize that if the car is purchased rather than leased, all the equity goes towards the next car. Also realizing that BMWs depreciate about 50% in the first four years, more in the first two than the second, and a very sound argument is made to purchase a CPO car over leasing a new one.

I also trade-in my car every three years or so, but purchase rather than lease. My equity is almost always $4k-6k, which serves as a down payment on the new car. I also have learned to let someone else take the big depreciation hit, and only buy extremely clean, completely documented one-owner cars.

Yep, i agree this is the way to go with BMW. My 2009 335i was 50k new, and It's worth like 22k now. You buy the off lease bmw, and keep it for the same 3-4 years and you come out with alot less of a lose.

We get BONED up here on lease or buy compared to the US. My 335 e92 was $850 48 months very little down (don't remember) down. $60,000 car with about $7000 discount.

Yup, that's how it is here. I know a lot of people who put money down to lower their monthly payments but I never understood why? Is it because of bad credit?

buy the car out!
