Iam looking to get into either an M3 or 335is ( preferably 335is) Iam looking for a 3 year lease with no money down or somewhat small downpayment ( $500-2000).



Just looking to see what some of the current 335is/ M3 owners put down on their current lease. Also what dealer you went to and what type of other offers they had for you.



All info welcome, Thanks alot guys.

I have seen $5** ish payments for lease takeovers with 4-6k down in m3 for sale section. I know it’s a to to put down, but check that section out for takeovers.

+1 ... if you can't afford it then you shouldn't even do it..

[Zebra99]

What are you guys complaining about. Up here 5k down and you'd probably still pay $1500-month for a 335is

I could afford any BMW just dont like putting down $2k+ for basically renting a car.


Sure i might have " some " equity in the car in 3 years but its simply not worth it for me.

[Juiced1M]

Jon might be better off looking at a 335i bro

[Sam335ix]

I don't understand why some of you think he cant afford it! He is looking for a deal, like I was. I put my money else where and make some money off of it where a car is a sinking ship. I paid 600 and 0 down and my monthly payments are 600. I could have bought the car in cash but why would I do such an idiotic thing? Now op, if you want to drive an m3 as a lease with lower payments then be ready to pony up some cash.

1) paying it off does nothing for my credit score.

2) why pay it off then go through the hassle of selling it and if i cant find a buyer get ripped off by a dealer .

3) its much easier to pay a monthly payment then just swap it out for some new wheels in 2-3 years.



I preferably want a 335is, I just through the M3 deal out their to see if anyone has received a good deal on one.


Yes financing is an option but do i really want to put %20 down on a $60,000 car that i will get bored with in 2 years?


Like i said, Leasing is better from my standpoint and also throwing a wad of cash down on " RENTING " a car seems totally outlandish in general. The car will just depreciate over time and i will wind up with %50 of my down payment in equity. Its practically flushing benjamins right down the toilet. I rather just throw the least amount down then drive another brand new lease right off the showroom floor in 36 months.




No more financial lessons please. Back on topic.

the thought process is that its a lease, you are going to pay the same amount at the end, so why put money down. i have a 2011 335 sedan for $600 per month, with first month down, i believe my rate is 4.95. sticker was 49,600 they had come down a little on the sticker but i cant remember exactly, i had $1500 in equity on my trade, this was in july rates may be different now. it is thirty a month per thousand so if you do some math you can figure it out.

Again, my words of wisdom:

1) put 16,500 into a 401k (some of you would have it done in a matter of months, but spread it out over the year to get your employer's match)

2) if eligible, max out a ROTH

3) pay down the principal of your mortgage, ideally get it paid in 13 years

4) car payment should not be more than 10% of your monthly net pay

Those who've said, "I put zero down on my car because I put my money somewhere else," I've never seen once on this forum where somewhere else was that made any sense at all. Maybe gold at 2004 prices? LOL

It's generally accepted that it's not a good idea for most people to put a significant amount of money down on a lease. The only reason to do so might be for someone who gets a monthly car allowance through their employer, and may need the down payment to keep the payment below their allowed amount. Also, don't forget that if the car is stolen or totaled in an accident, that down payment money essentially disappears into thin air.
This sight is a great resource for leasing, and shows current rates for BMW's:

I leased my 335is.
MSRP was 61K, negotiated price was 57K.
Paid all inception costs, plus an additional $1800 down
Lease rate .00185 (about 4.4% APR)
36 months, 10K miles/year
Monthly payment: $700

Here is what I did with my 60k, you tell me what you think. I bought an investment property (foreclosure) for 260k with 25 percent down payment, I spent another 30k and fixed the property in 30 days. Just sold the same property for 383k! What would have I gotten if I paid my car cash? My interest rate apr is 4 percent... There are tons of other investments you can make.. I ll rent my car all day when I can get an incredible return on my money! You be proud of owning and look down on me for renting :-)
