Hey guys, so what are the MF/Residuals for the 328i coupe at this point?
I'm having a hard time here because I need to do a lease return on the 325Ci but I'm not sure what to replace it with. The dealer can't seem to find any remaining '06 manual, sport package-equipped 330i's, and they're telling me a manual, sport-package only 328i would have to be custom-ordered. They want more than $600 a month for the automatic/premium 328i they have on the lot. I don't know where to start because I don't know what the money factor, rate, or residual is for the oupes. Anyone help me out?

Hey Greg,
I read the info on the link you provided (bimmerfest). I generally understand the overall article, however, what is the MF (Money Factor) rate?... Why is there all these zero's and wut do they represent.. i.e. 0.0007 Can u plz explain that to me? Is it the lease rate, or mark-up on the lease rate...? Thanks in advance, Travis |

Thanks Greg for the prompt reply
But I still have one more question, why multiply the MF (Interest Rate) by 2400? What does the 2400 represent (months, percentage, or something else?) Thanks in again. |

But then again I tend to think that no decision is really wrong as long as you understand the implications of it and are fine with them. As long as you realize that you won't get the cap cost reduction back at the end of the lease, or if the car is stolen, totaled, etc, and you're fine with that, there's nothing inherently wrong with putting $$ down on a lease to reduce your payments or your residual if you wanted to buy at the end. Or, maybe you want to avoid having to pay for gap insurance (say for instance, leasing through private lender rather than BMW). I'm not saying it always makes sense, or even that it usually makes sense to put money down, but people have their reasons. I also don't think the MFs that are being tossed around here are all that bad given current market interest rates. Subsidizing is fine, but BMW doesn't seem to have much trouble moving inventory, so why would they care? |
