November credits
I ordered an X5 on October 24th and only received the NAV credit for the deal. I did not qualify for the loyalty credit because I did not currently own my last BMW (must have owned within the last 12 months, even if it was a 2005 or later). With these new incentives for November, would it seem likely I should get the additional $1000 credit if I finance with BMW. ... Read More

Re: Re-Lease X5 [ab10000]
My monthly payment right now is $715. I was thinking of maybe trying to re-lease it for another 2 or 3 years. It only has 26k miles right now. This is my 3rd BMW from the dealership in NYC. I had bought a 540i in 2000, traded that in to them and leased a 2005 X5, then in 2008, leased my current X5. What is the Loyal Customer dicsount? Do they ... Read More

Re: Made the plunge !! [autocrazy]
Congratulations on getting your X5. I got my 2003 Certified pre-owned 325i back in 2005. The free maintenance was good till 2007. I extended it for two more years till 2009. You won't get all the benefits for the extension. You will have to pay a minimum amount whenever your car is in the dealership for maintenance although you don't have to pay anything that has to do with warranty. Also, ... Read More

Re: dealership says X5 rotors must ALWAYS be changed with pads, help [kellywarren]
The dealership in Orlando told me the same thing. While under the maintenance warranty, I didn't question it and had them do it. Next time, after the warranty expired, the front brake job price was $700 for pads and rotors, which sounded inflated. I then replaced the pads and the pad sensor myself for about $100 and an hour of my time. The rotors looked good (thanks to the warning sensor ... Read More

Re: trans.failsafe error BMW X5 2004 4.4 [cartrouble13]
I had the trans failsafe message appear before. Shutdown and restart cleared it. That was over a year ago. Recently it started doing it more frequently. I read a thread about the alternator/regulator causing a similar problem so I hooked up a scan guage to the OBD port that displays voltage. It read 10.9-11.4 volts while driving. That seemed low. I hooked a regular volt meter to the battery post under ... Read More

Re: 2008 BMW X3 [dwc4]
You need to take a long test drive in both vehicles and evaluate how you are going to use it. We cross-shopped the X3 and the Forrester in 2005 and decided on the BMW- but that's not to say that Subaru doesn't build some outstanding cars and SUVs. The X3 is no Wrangler or Defender 90, but it can handle light off-road work. I have driven our 2004 X3 2.5 through ... Read More

Re: 2005 X5 4.4 with 40000miles [mroctober]
I don't mean to interrupt here,but isn't a brand new Lexus RX for the same price a better but than a old 05 or 06 bmw X5? It's your money if you wanted a new x5, then it would've been a different story,but an old unreliable bmw rather than a brand new lexus, your choice.

Re: 2005 X5 4.4 with 40000miles [jpzy3]
I do understand bmws handling. I've driven bmws best suv, which is the bmw X6, and I know how well it handles,but when your best friend works at a bmw dealer,and advises you not to buy it, that does put a doubt in your mind, doesn't it? Well, the RX2009 has big discounts, up to $9k from what I've heard, around $32k for a new 2009 rx.

Re: 2005 X5 4.4 with 40000miles [bmlexus]

manydom That was my type mistake re money factor. For march it is 0.0021 not 0.0025. The rate for Feb was 0.0025 . Residuals do not typically change from BMWFS (they are already inflated to make leases more attractive). The factors that likely change from month to month are the money factor and any incentives/cashbacks towards a new vehicle. Note, this is model specific and only given if they want to ... Read More

Thank you again. I am finding that is an easy and practical why to assess the price of a lease. Now the problem is getting a salesperson to agree with you. Also could you give me the residual percentage on the 2008 X5 3.01. I might go with the 722.00 per month including taxes. That is closer to what you said a fair price would be. Also I was going to ... Read More

Re: 2005/2008 X5 numbers Thank You! [rezf] [nj_bmw_byer] [rezf] [nj_bmw_bye
At $1000 above invoice, the lease payments on the 2008 X5 you are considering would be $693 per month before taxes. I say $1000 per month, because that is a deal that can be had any day of the month at the dealership I purchased my X5 from. The market is just too soft for some dealers to justify not discounting that much

Re: 2005/2008 X5 numbers Thank You! [rezf] [nj_bmw_byer] [rezf] [nj_bmw_bye
nj_bmw What I was/am saying is the best way to figure out the best deal is look at the MSRP of the car. Find the invoice price on Edmunds.com, then add $1000-$1500 to the price of the invoice. This should be your Cap Cost. Do not put any money down...only pay the upfront fees...And insist that they use a Money Factor of 0.0025 to calculate the lease. Whatever that monthly payment ...

A change in the money factor can make all the difference. if you (ACC - Residual val)/36 the payments for a 50ish vehicle averages about 550.00. Once you add the money factor that price can easily boost to over 700+. I did this with several vehicles: BMW, Porsche ... Read More

As you can see, the money factor for the X5 back then was 0.00125. In today's market, the buy rate money factor for the X5 is 0.0025. This reflects what I had previously said in a thread that manufacturers subside the interest and residuals to sweeten a lease deal to keep ... Read More

leases do NOT work the way yo think they do. You are not merely spending money on the same piece of automobile. The 2005 X5 was 5 years into its development and sales had started to slow down. what manufacturers do in these situation is to increase the residual rate in the lease (one of the major determinants of your lease payments) This way the payments drop and they hope to ...

Re: End of Lease Auto Value for a 2005 X5 3.0 [mannydom]
Chances are the residual is not going to be lower than what the car is worth; however, at lease end you are under no obligation to purchase the resdiual, you can just walk away from the lease. If you want to "trade-in" you would have to buy the car at the residual price from BMWFS and then trade the car in towards a new one. Residuals have not changed, but money ... Read More

Re: Re: X5 '0 5lease #'s
Hi Jay. I would be happy to calculate a lease payment on the truck that you are interested in for you. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 BMW X5 3.0 with an MSRP of $50,920 and a selling price of $44,920 through BMW Financial Services right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $808. BMW ... Read More

Re: Re: Sept. lease numbers?
Hi Larry. You did a good job in finding out about the dealer cash that is currently available on this truck and making sure that it was taken into account on your deal. I don't know the exact dealer invoice price for the truck that you are considering, but if I had to make an educated guess I would say that you are probably paying around $1,000 over invoice after the ...

Re: Re: Realistic Lease price
Hello thetaxman. You would be much better off going with a 2005 BMW X5 than a 2006 model at this point. BMW is providing absolutely no support on '06 models, but it has $5,000 dealer cash and a better money factor on '05 models right now. If you decide that you still want to go with the 2006 model, make sure that your dealer uses a .00180 money factor to calculate ... Read More

Re: Realistic Lease price
Hi Jay. We are already at the end of the 2005 model year. You will have to wait until at least October for the 2006 X5 to be as cheap to lease as the 2005 model currently is. Of course, it is difficult to tell what manufacturers will do with their future incentives with 100% accuracy. You should be able to get a good idea of what BMW's current lease program ... Read More

Re: Short term lease, X5

Re: Sept. lease numbers?
Hi tpjcourtney. When BMW introduced the dealer cash that is is now providing on the 2005 X5 it cut way back on its lease money factor support. Its September buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of any '05 X5 model through BMW FS should be .00250. Make sure to take the $5,000 dealer cash that BMW is providing on the '05 X5 3.0i and $6,500 that it ... Read More

BMW X5 2001 How reliable are they?
I have read in Consumer Reports (April 2005) that 2001 BMW X5's have below normal reliability in general - but especially in the electrical and power equipment areas.

Re: Merc it is [safeperfsnowsu]
Sounds like you have convinced yourself that the Mercedes is your vehicle of choice.

We test drove both the X5 3.0 6-speed and Cayenne V6 6-speed because of our preference for manual transmissions. (The MDX is the first automatic that either ... Read More

Re: 2005 X5 3.0i LEASE [mannydom]
