Find BMW Dealers in Cincinnati, Ohio

Looking to lease (36mth @ 15k) a 2011 x5 35i loaded- MSRP $52250. We have not locked in final price, but they are using a money factor of 0.0026 and a residual of 56%. Dealer is in Cincinnati OH and has an aquistion fee of $725, document fee of $250, and tag fee of $33. Does this sound in-line? Are there any incentives for dealers that could help me get below invoice?

Hello Guys, First of all THANKS to all of you for sharing your experiences here! I used this forum a lot before buying my first bimmer..... So here it goes, I just bought a 2007 525i Automatic w/ Steptronic, Xenon lights, Cold Weather and Premium Packages for $29,500. It was listed at $33,000 and has 41K miles. Its a CPO but has 1.5 years of original warranty on it. I live in Cincinnati, OH and bought it at The BMW Store. Its a shiny new car very clean... What do you guys think about the deal???? The other thing is that I am taking it there tomorrow to get the Windows Tinted. He told me about $250 incl Taxes for it. Is that a fair price and what do you think about the tinting? The finance guy tried to talk me into buying the extended maintenance plan which he was quoting for $2200 - $2300. I declined it and at the end of the paperwork just before leaving, I asked him how was it again. He said he could sell it to me for $1895 as the price just went up by $200 on July 1st. I want to know if anyone recently bought it and at what price?? Thanks Again & Cheers! :)

Car_man - I'm looking at a 2007 Z4 Coupe and and looking for the same great info that you always provide! What are the current residuals and money factors for the '07s assuming a 36/39 month lease at 15,000 miles per year? Also, I assume that the TMV on Edmunds takes the $7500 rebate into consideration when it gives you the "price others are paying." Is this right? Thanks!

rrsa.....I don't know what part of OH you're in, but I'm looking at a similar deal around the Cincinnati area for a 330i. I've made an open offer at $2,500 off MSRP to both BMW dealerships I've contacted. They're letting me walk at that offer, so you must be close. Pricing looks right. Don't know about the MF as I'm looking to purchase, not lease.

It is a free country, after all. Putting money down on a lease is generally a "false" investment or economy. But if you want to buy down the monthly payment, up front money will certainly do that. I guess if you thought you might -- naw, I really can't come up with a reason to put money up front. In Ohio we have to pay the TAX UP FRONT -- some states allow the addition of tax on a monthly basis, here we just pony up the full amount at the time of the inception of the lease. I guess you could rationalize this and pay the sales tax as a "down payment," rather than rolling it into the lease. Pay now or pay later. Sometimes paying later means paying more dearly. Don't know the rules in Wa., though. Ultimately leasing is nothing more than a way to borrow money (often subvented) and pay for the depreciation of a vehicle. Theoretically a subvented lease (low money factors and high residuals courtesy of the finance arm of the mfg.) is a pretty good way to use a car for up to 39 months (or less) and not have to put up with the plummeting "equity" situation when you are ready for the next vehicle. Of course if you can buy a car at 0% interest and keep it until it is "dead," that would be (in theory) the best of all possible worlds. What does dead mean, then becomes the question. My neighbor routinely puts $5,000 in "maintenance" into his 1997 Chevy Suburban every year. I often wondered what it would cost to have a "permanent" lease payment of about $400 per month instead (or what would he get, instead, perhaps better said). It would seem that a newer tech vehicle might also carry with it some economy, safety and comfort features that this 8 year old baby cannot compete with. "Yeah, but I don't have a car payment," says he. Then the entire ABS system goes south, new brakes, tires and an alignment come due and then 6 months later the A/C goes south and several power window motors go on the fritz -- explain again how you have no car payment? Me, I like the current "gizmos" that cars come with -- so keeping a car more than 3 model years is "not very interesting."
