If what you are getting is eqivalent to purchasing at about .92 X MSRP + $500, then you are getting a good deal. Making this determination is a complicated matter that reqires a lot of work. And, even if someone is willing to do so, then it would be impossible to make the calculation without a wealth of additional information. Online lease versus purchase calculators can get you somewhat close to what you want to know, but they are overly simplistic.
I decided to call a bunch of other dealers but none of them except 1 wanted to even touch a deal like that.
and the one that was willing said that they are pinching pennies but he thinks he can get it for me at 5 bucks less a month
This one had the SZL and another problem and I dont even have the car yet and cant take another one since the one i am getting is a White with black interior and there is only 2 in all of the surrounding west coast states one is still on the truck and the other is in service........So I am very disappointed at BMW
I mean who buys a brand NEW car 2007 and cant even drive it cuz its in service for recalls....sheesh
Thanks for the reply,

I agree we did absolutly no negociating. He said "man ima be straight with you, this is the best I can do and Ill give it to you in writing so you can go check other dealers out cuz i know your going to"
He's a cool guy when he found out that my car is not going to be ready till monday-tuesday he said Ima hook you up somehow.
I dont know how hes planning on hooking it up but i think hes gonna up the miles from 10k to 12k a year.

P.S. forgot to mention he was the manager of the internet department.

Forget the 525...upgrade to the 530. For a few extra bucks, the power is well worth it. Also, if you do a 3 year lease the money factor goes down. I believe it's .00310 for a 2 year and .0025 for a 3 year. Do a 3 year and upgrade to the 530i. Your payment won't be much higher than what you got going on right now. Better bang for your buck...IMHO.

I see your logic behind the upgrade but the way i see it is if im goin to a 530 might as well move up to a 550
I can get the 550 for 880 including tax but just want the car for the looks mainly I have my 944 turbo for when i wanna perform.
Thanks for your replys

Fun rain car. There are a few around here--both red, very nice, and heavily modded with fat fat tires. What is your's like?
Man i bought this car for 3,500 and spent 2,800 on the kit including install and I can smoke
Vipers, Corvettes ( havent raced a new z06 yet) and pretty much any other car on the road all day long.
These cars have one of the best handlings i have seen so well balanced engine in the front tranny in the back
check out lindseyracing's site youll see the power they are getting outta these 2.5l 4cly engines its amazing
oh forgot to mention my car has over 200k miles on it. it has all that power and is still an everyday driver. and the gas milege is great.
I have one red one (the one mentioned above) and one black one (not modded)
I had 19" HRE's on it 265's front 295's rear
So anyways its my favorite car.
