35i Money Factor & Residual per my CA

[pgaX5]

If anyone is interested, my CA said introductory MF on 35i with Premium is .00255, 60% Residual for 15K, 62% for 12K. Worse than 50i, but better than 35d. Mine is coming in June, so I hope the MF drops a bit!

I would have expected diesels to have higher residuals long term, but maybe not. interesting info.

62% residual is actually quite excellent! Probably because model year is introduced so early in the calendar year...

.00255 MF is equivalent to 6.2% APR... average.

It seems as if your dealer is marking up your money factor. Sounds like room for more negotiating to me.....

[pgaX5]

My numbers are for the 2011 35i Premium. The Leasecompare March numbers are for 2010 Models.

Dealers can mark up the money factor up to 0.0002 if I am not mistake. BMW gives them a minimum MF then they have the option of "increasing" your interest rate to make some cash. Totally crappy if you ask me, but they do what they need to do to make a buck. If your credit score is good, you should insist on the MF specified from BMW financial.

This is the 2011 XDrive 35i Premium base money factor at launch. Dealers can mark the mf up by .0004 if they want, but mine is marking it up .0002 from whatever the rate is in June. There is no negotiation on this with them, unfortunately. At least they're honoring the $1500 over invoice deal I had on a 2010 XDrive 30 on which I declined delivery when I heard about the 35i.
