Just curious, why didn't you go for the Premium Sound Package? And what is your lease payment going to be?

if he did not put money down and got the base money factor (.00195) with 7% sales tax = ~$750

Wow, that is a big payment for a lease IMO. For $710 per month I can buy a 335i Sportline (sport auto+heated seats+metallic paint) with $10,000 trade-in value + 7% tax @ 4.9% APR over 60 months.

well you are comparing apples to oranges, plus 24mo leases @15k/yr are not that attractive from a monthly rate perspective.

Being someone who has never leased, and knows little about them, it seems reasonable to me that if you can put 10k, own the same car as you would lease, but at the end have equity in a car - why wouldn't that be the right choice?

If I have to pay over $700 a month I might as well own the damn car. That was my main point and in my comparison case it could be a 335i instead of a 328i. I know 2 year leases @ 15k/year are not monthly rate friendly. That was also another point I was making.

But on the other hand I'm glad there are people who are leasing these cars for only 2 years, because when it's time for me to buy one I can perhaps buy a nice CPO'ed (328i or 335i) with low miles at much lower price.

svache · 03-07-2012, 07:27 PM

Just out of curiosity, why would someone lease a car for only 2 years instead of 3?

The base audio is fine for me. I listen to sports radio a large portion of the time I am in the car. I have had Harmon Kardon system before...I think it is good but I don't need it.

Zirenz2006 · 03-13-2012, 03:33 PM

BMWUSA website finally updated my car to the correct color. It sill doesn't show any options. Still at 112 according to the phone number.

It's always way behind. My current car showed at the VPC when it was already in my driveway.

I'm just hoping the color updating is a sign things are farther along at the factory and maybe it will go in to production soon.

Mojave is a really nice color!

lol yeah I know, the delay is crazy lol. But I do not get why they show a different color than the one ordered.. when I first saw it and didn't know it would change, I called my CA right away and I can imagine more people do this.

Thanks, looking forward to see it in person on the F30, so far only saw it on the F10 irl

Zirenz2006 · 03-26-2012, 05:33 AM

Car is in production a week early!

Maz335i · 03-26-2012, 07:40 PM

I noticed u got the M Adaptive Suspension, is that different from the M Performance Suspension? I'm thinking of getting the M Performance Suspension (which will lower my car) and also get the M Performance Brakes (in red) on my new order.

Any suggestions? I'm getting confused between the "Adaptive", "Sports" and "Performance" wording...

:

dstng · 03-27-2012, 09:50 AM

I am not sure if the M Adaptive Suspension is available in Canada..

I am going back to BMW this weekend to order a 3 series and double check on the M Adaptive Suspension..
