Lectro asked, "How did you get $7000 towards the lease? is that a new bmw incentive instead of the $5500?" I negotiated for it. I think I had good timing or they were tired of me.

My latch/hook is loose but I haven't tightened it yet. I will give it a try tonight. Thanks!

I got this deal: $1500 drive off, $350/mo excluding tax (380 including) for a 2014 REx with Giga, Parking Pkg, Tech Pkg, HK System, DC Fast Charging, Heated Seats (MSRP $53,200). Selling price in the lease is $43,089 (which is $10,111 off MSRP or 19% off) plus they gave me $7000 towards the...

Had my REx for a week now and loving it. :D It's my second BMW and my first EV. Leased it for 30 months. Just washed and waxed her this past weekend. She's got a lot of surface area to wax! Whew! Thanks for all the great info on this site. You guys really helped a lot! Chris 2014 REx...

Excellent point, Schnort, I do need to look out for the UL listing to qualify for local utility rebates. Thanks, bbmertz, for your info. Blue20 - I'll be sure to check power usage of the chargers. All great info. Thanks.

Thanks, jeffj, easport82, and dirtboy! Just the info I needed. I'll most likely go with a non-BMW charger since it doesn't look like I get much more with the BMW one over chargers that cost less. Plus, the BMW charger is much larger with all the extra plastic. Now I just have to research and...

Anyone have any tips/recommendations regarding purchasing a home charger for the i3? [Sorry if this was previously discussed. I did a search on this forum and nothing came up.] The BMW home charger is about $1100. Is there any advantage to having the BMW charger over one of the Bosch chargers...

Since the sell price wasn't in the original numbers they gave me, I had to ask for it. Here it is: 44,453.00 (not including the $5500 credit)

Got another quote from a different dealer (this looks better - do you think I still have wiggle room?): Payment Details Term 30 Base Payment 360.60 Total Payment W/Tax 393.06 Purchase Option 30,324.00 MSRP 53,200.00 Est. Miles Per Year 12,000 Disposition Fee 350.00 Excess Mileage Charge 0.20...

Thanks, nowtta60!

I'm looking at the 2014 i3. The fast charger option is $700. If I'm looking at a car that doesn't have one, can it be added by the dealer or did the car have to come that way from the factory? Thanks.

Thanks Gooch and Zony, really helpful info. Now I have more of a ballpark to work with. Here are their numbers with 30 month/12k per year. Residual is 57% Lease Terms Lender BMW Financial Services Term 30 Months Mileage 12,000/year Money Factor 1.29 Residual Factor 57% Selling Price $45,100.00...
