Hi Guys:
While waiting for delivery of my F10, I thought I would compare financing option on bmwusa.com
For the 'BMW Select' option, it is telling me what my monthly payment will be but is not showing me what the 'balloon' payment will be at the end of the finance period. Is there an easy way for me to work this out?
I called BMW finance but they just referred me to my dealer, who I don't want to ask at this stage.
Thanks in advance.
Roger

Are you leasing? If so, why would you be interested in the balloon payment if you already have the other financial variables. You are giving the car back to BMW at the end of the contract.
You could probably find an online financial calculator that will show you the balloon payment if you input all the other info.

No, not leasing. BMW Select is where you own the car, pay reduced payments for your chosen term and then pay a single 'balloon' payment at the end.

Although I'm not a fan of leasing - IMO I think its better than what you are considering since you might be stuck with an undesirable balloon payment due to upredictable circumstances(ie - payment ends up higher than future market reslae value, rising interest rates)
