  Any idea on how much I should consider for a discount on a 2010 128i, with MSRP>40,000 (even though, a comparably equipped 2011 would be about 38,000? + taking into account the new changes coming into production now for 2012?)

  Just bought a 2010 BMW 128i with premium package for $30,950. MSRP was $34,500 Pretty nice discount because the car was on the lot for a while and also a new facelift is coming up this summer. But it is a mild redesign so doesn't bother me. Bought at BMW Fort Lauderdale, FL on December 30th 2010. There was as $1500 rebate at the time, but I assume this is the ... Read More

  I certainly did, kabbalah. Wow you're trying to decide between a 135i Convertible and an X5. There's a huge difference between the two. Here's the latest info for you. BMW Financial Services' July buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 135i Convertible with 15,000 miles per year are .00150 and 56%, respectively.

  Car Man, I am closing a deal on a 2010 135 convertible with a sport pkg. I have a couple of questions that perhaps you know the answer to.. 1)The BMW Tire & Wheel Protection program. I was quoted $1289 for 60 m0nths. This is very high imo and I was wondering if you knew the actual dealer cost & m/u on this. 2) this car has the standard HD radio ... Read More

I started with them but in the end found a dealer that had a direct approach and good pricing, and they delivered the car to me. I have a 2010 135i convertible with six speed manual. The 1 ...

  I know BMW has released its August lease numbers to dealers, but haven't seen them on any message boards yet. I'm probably going to lease a 135i for two years and I'm locked in for the July numbers if I want them, but just trying to figure out if the August numbers are any better.

  Yes I know it's a 2010. I like cheap money. The tire and wheel is from BMW and not a third party warranty company. I think it is well worth the investment based on this experience and my previous 5 BMW's. Don't forget this covers me for 5 years including tires that are replaced.

  They key point is this is a 2010 and not a 2011 (which are available everywhere now). They have 0.9% for 72 on the left over convertibles plus $1,500 in dealer money as well. If you can find a left over coupe, I think you can do 0.9% for up to 60 and the dealer gets $1,500 as well. For 2011, the rates are 1.9% for 60 and no dealer money. ... Read More

  Any thoughts on BMW's $339-a-month national deal for the 128i (MSRP $35,550 with premium package)? This is a 36 month lease with a $1,500 credit. Attractive monthly payment for a BMW, but a big upfront outlay. • $339 First months payment • $2,800 Down payment • $350 Security Deposit • $725 Acquisition fee • $4,214 Cash due at signing

  Hi car_man, kydfx et al, I am in the process of ordering a 2010 135i Convertible to lease for 36 mos 12-15k miles/yr. One dealer said they could apply the $1500 holiday money to the costs (Acquisition fee, license, etc.) rather than reducing the capitalized cost.

  The 2011 128i convertible money factor is .00210, which is 5.04% effective and you have to pay the BMW lease acquisition fee. If you buy, BMW will finance it for 0.9 to 1.9% - at least for the 2011 model, they don't show the cheap money for the 2010 left overs (but Edmunds does). The 2010 should also have $1,500 in dealer money to further reduce the price. The 2011 has ... Read More

  Hello, I'd like to invest in a 128i convertable 2010 or 2011, but want to lease with option to buy at the end of the term. Or should I just finance? If I lease, payment will be lower, and I can buy the car at residual value? I don't know which route to go? Advise me on some options please, Thank U
