Rayainsw - thanks for your reply. I appreciate the info. I think I'm going to stay the course & not use the information. I live in CT now (one of the neighboring states). With our 3rd baby due any day now, I think it'd be wise of me to keep paying off my TSX & then drive it until the wheels fall off. The deals are ALMOST too sick to pass up! Almost. I love your new 335is BTW.

Hi all. I'm new to leasing as this will be my first lease venture totally on my own. I've pretty much decided I would like to try to lease a 2011 BMW 328i X drive coupe. I've done countless runs with the build your own feature on their website and came up with the following: Built to my liking, with navigation and a few options like heated seats and sunroof (no additional packages) I was given an estimated MSRP of $44,755. I realize I could tack on the premium package and cold weather packages but I'm only really interested in those features and getting the most value I can out of a deal. After doing as much research as I can, and based off some rough estimates, I found a lease calculator and came up with the following formulations: (obviously, much different than the payment estimators on BMW.com). MSRP- $44,755 Sale Price $42581 (estimated based off some percentages I've seen on here and edmunds.com fair price) Cap Cost reductions: 4000 Adjusted Cap Cost: 38581 Residual Value: 27301 (again estimated off percentages here for Oct 2011 at 61%. Money factor: .00190 (estimated, is this based off credit scores only?) 36 months (would like 12000 miles a year, 10000 is a possibility though) 7 percent Sales Tax Monthly Payment: $469.21 with tax included. Granted, this is not a quote from a dealer... could I expect something similar to this if I shop around? I will not be ready to lease until December/January when my current lease is up. I'd like to keep payments under 500 a month. Also saw info on multiple security deposits, NY doesnt do it, but CT does, I'm at the border so I'd be interested in that too if I could get that back at the end and reduce monthly payments. A little confused about the current lease incentive that expired on 10/31/11. Said it had premium and value packages, but I wanted navi. Is it possible to utilize those offers and add to them for reasonable rates? Sorry I sound like such a newbie! Recent grad school graduate looking to reward myself with something I've always wanted, now that I can finally attain it! ANY advice would be appreciated. Seems like you guys know a lot and can guide me in some direction! I want to be prepared going in there and show them I've done my HW.
