May Lease Deals?

[BG624]

Anyone know if BMW improved their X5 lease deals for May or did they remain the same?

Have not heard yet, but would love to know as I'm expecting mine to be completed next week, so hopefully getting this month. I'm curious to see if they'll really give me the better deal if the lease deals improved or keep me to the rates I locked in when I ordered the car. I assume they can do either one? Not sure if the dealership benefits more one way or the other.

I'll probably call my salesman this week, as I haven't gotten any updates from him since I put in the order and will check on the lease rates for this month.

Spoke to my salesman today and my car is on it's way to NY. Should be there by the end of this week and I should find out if the lease rates have changed at all.

When I picked up my X5 last week my salesperson said that 4.8's are very hard to get and if the May lease rates change for the better it will be only for the 3.0. He said they are out to July and August for ordered 4.8's, who knows we'll see soon enough.

I saw a post on Bimmerfest in the "Ask a Dealer" section---as a sticky, which shows the lease rates for May.
