BMW Buy Rate is the BMW Leasing Rate without a mark-up by the dealer. It is important that this be part of your negotiation strategy. Another critical factor is to make sure that the residual value of a Euro Delivery BMW is based upon US MSRP, not Euro Delivery MSRP. That tip will save you $2,000 plus by itself over the three year life of the lease. I have made numerous posts on European Delivery and Leasing at the Bimmerfest European Delivery Forum. Look for my posts there on the topic between now and 2007. I have leased 5 BMW's combining European Delivery and Leasing. Normal Leasing is abstruse. It is even more abstruse when combined with European Delivery. Substantial savings can be realized by those that take the initiative and do their home work.
