My Ride: 2002 M3 Convertible SMG Silver/Black
2005 545i ED Jet Black/Beige
I am planning on an ED for a 545 in early May. Due to a couple of factors, there is a slight chance that I may wait until fall or next spring to do my ED.
I am going to have to make a final decision within the next few days or week or so, as my P.O. date is imminent. Does anybody know:
- When pricing will be available for the 550.
- When we will be able to order for ED, and what the earliest possible pickup might be (early September?).
- I assume the money factors will be much higher than the current great deals. Any thoughts on what is a reasonable expectation of money factor for the 550 when it first comes out? I generally lease my cars, so this will have a significant impact on my decision.
Please note, I do not need to restart the debate on 545 vs. 550; that is not an issue for me; I am more than happy with the 545. The issue for me is that I am a little upside down in my current lease, and I am not sure how big a hit I am willing to take. If I have to, I can wait until September or next April (though, of course I don't want to).
Thanks for the help.

[/quote]I agree with you. The current rates are so aggressive; great for buying now, not so great for waiting for the 550. I was thinking the rates would be around .0025 - .0030; though this is based on nothing other than a guess.

2) The earliest ED pick-up date will be 3rd week of Oktober to early November.
3) I can't speculate the money factor, but it will be safe to assume it will be a market rate (instead of the current "subsidized rate"). So it will probably by .0025 (+.0003 for ED)or more.
You will NOT be able to touch the current rate.
Its your call chief! Good luck w/ whatever you choose to do.

[/quote]Thanks Bee. Not a tough call. Off to Europe in about a month.
I just thought it would be easier to sell my beautiful M3 convertible privately, instead of having to trade it and take a bath. Maybe I'll just keep it for the next few months and sell it in June or July when my 545 comes back from Europe: prime convertible selling time.

I am thinking of doing the same thing...waiting for a 550 ED. What can I expect my payment to be when the Money factor is .0025? Now a lease is about $800 a month nicely equipped for 3/15k. Will the monthly payment be $950 or higher with the higher money factor?
On a seperate note...my wife now wants a 4.8is instead of a 3.0 thanks to our SA. A$$h0le!
