2009 Lease rates for September-October

Jeremy it is only that if you qualify for the OLP. If not it is a bit higher. Residual is always higher at the beginning of the year.

If you compare to last years rates for the E90 335i: 24 Month – Residual 71% of MSRP – .00200 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 61% of MSRP – .00200 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 43% of MSRP – .00310 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 36% of MSRP – .00310 Base Rate

For 2009 MY 24 month residual is down to 67% and MF is .00250

Which equates to nearly $100 per month difference. Other models are even worse off.

This also is just comparing a static price and not including the change in the higher price of the car, so actually it is a bit worse.

X- Directly from BMW is where this info is from. The programs directly state that they run from Now until 10/31 so it is what it is! Remember 09 models can not even be delivered until mid-October so the program would be through the end of October. The next rate change will be in November. I am fairly certain things will get worse before they get better as BMW fades to leases that are not attractive; not going to be an overnight transition so it will get worse.
