OK, I'll say it. I'll keep it real. I think most BMWs are beautiful. I think the X5 (roughly the X3's cousin) is one of the best looking SUVs out there. The new 3 series sedan is better looking than the prior version, and that's saying something. The same cannot be said of the X3. It's just plain ugly. OK, I said it. And I'm glad I said it. And I'm not taking it back. I know ... Read More...

Re: Does anyone know the June Money Factor? [james72766]

Written by: Car_man on Jun 05, 2007 03:22 AM

Hello james72766. BMW's lease program for this truck varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. BMW Financial Services' June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 ... Read More...

To everyone, I haven't been on here in awhile but my problems continue. I think I got a lemon. I have this 2007 X5 in the shop every other week: accordian shade for the sun-roof fell off, the adaptive headlights failed repeatedly, the emergency release latch broke for the tailgate broke and hangs there (too much cheap plastic on a car costing this much), not to mention ...

Hey MSC 2005, You are getting a really bad deal at the dealership and would look elsewhere if I were you. First they are marking up the money factor. As you can read in previous posts the MF for may 2007 is .0023. In addition, that discount is not so good. I live in NY and have found atleast 2000 discounts on the X5 no problem at several different dealerships. There are ... Read More...

Re: May Lease Rates [donkey1217]

Written by: Car_man on May 07, 2007 02:22 AM

Hi donkey1217. I believe that BMW's May lease program for the X5 slightly worse than it was in April. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 X5 3.0 with 15,000 miles per year are .00230 and 58%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2007 X5 4.8 are exactly the same. Car_man ... Read More...

Hi lugoesq. What is this truck's MSRP? I ask because it will show me how much of a discount you are bring given on it. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for the 2007 X5 3.0 is .00230 with the payment of a security deposit at lease signing and .00245 with the deposit waived.

Hi sheikh37. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for the 2007 X5 3.0 is .00230. BMW FS charges an acquisition fee of $625 on every deal. Individual dealers do not have the authority to waive this charge, but they are allowed to and often try to mark it up by a couple hundred dollars to add hidden profit to deals. The information that you posted ... Read More...
