$30 extra/month for 36 month lease?

smoshkovich · 07-11-2011, 12:45 AM

I was told that the BMW program for this month is a 36 month lease on a 335i. But the better deal last month was for 27 months in which the monthly payment of the car was $30 less per month than the 36 month option. The dealer mentioned residual value, but I wanted to know if there is real merit to this whopping $30 more a month just for a longer lease period. A while back if you wanted a shorter lease you had to pay more. Now i want a longer lease and they want me to pay more. I understand why, but I am just iffy about this extra $30 a month. Any insight is appreciated

Yeah the 27s are cheaper, they offered it to me when I signed. Residual value of the car is higher so the lease is less. I thought it was weird too at the time.

I went with the 36 anyway ... 27 months is too short for me, personally. Not enough time to enjoy mods.

Yeah that sounds about right...unfortunately 27 months is not back for July (except the Z4)

I got the same thing today, except mine was $50 more a month! Residuals got cut from 67% to 58%, but the money factor went down
