Compliments of Adrian's BMW of Bimmerfest:

"Here's the good news for you E90 buyers:

325i- Lease rate goes down to .00250

330i- residual goes up 1% to 59% for 36 months and lease rate goes down to .00250"

Not really great news...it only means a $2 reduction for every $100 of interest charged.
The residual bump is nice, but again only drops the payment $10-15 per month.

What is the residual for the 325i and 330i. Also, with that info and the money factor you posted, you should be able to calculate your lease payments right? What's your recommended online calculator for that? Thanks

Add another 1% to the numbers below for 330i (below numbers are for 15K mi/yr so don't forget to add for 12K or 10K miles/year) Also, new money factor is .00250 (effective June 2005)

Anybody out there confirm the 0.0004 maximum dealer money factor add? I'm signing in a few days and want to be prepared. My base rate is .0028 including the .0003 add for Euro Deliv. Will they hit me up for the full .0032 or something less? I'm getting a killer deal on the price so I don't know how much leverage I've got. Thanks

Thanks for the info, what kind of credit score do you need to qualify for the .00250 money factor?
