+1... or if you are a spreadsheet wonk ... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bRaln86BY6Aj9HOUcksziToLxz-YFrzPLrvPylpqALs&authuser=0 Got this several years ago from somewhere... so it's not mine... but it works great. PO'd a sales guy at BMW in the Bay area with it last week. Z

Given what you mentioned, MSRP for REX Tera and Parking (if there is backup camera there is parking - unless you meant parking sensors?) is $49850 plus the doodads which are dealer add-ons. I don't know your location, but in CA, that would be not much of a deal - it should be at least 12-15%...

I'm in the middle of higglipliggliness down here... but in short - you can do far better, so I'd take it back. Details as to the actual lease will become critical here - in CA we have easy ways of looking at doc fees, license costs etc. You're missing out it appears on the .00125 rate for your...

Bimmer... very sweet! Just finished our EV tour and my better half wants the i3 REX - we did the gambit... Leaf (which we are in now), i3, Mercedes, VW, KIA, Fiat (more for the fun), and yes, Model S - all in one day. Where did you end up leasing from (if you don't mind sharing your...

Bimmerc - I'll defer to Gooch and others on this... I'd say this looks better and pretty reasonable. If you want to negotiate a bit further... see if another dealer will match or beat, then take that offer back to your PREFERRED dealer (hopefully the one you will take it for service etc.) and...

The 30 month will net you about 30/mo with the CA rebate factored in... Also, I may stand to be corrected after reviewing some Edmunds info... the residual for 24/12 is probably 62% - I know someone on this board (maybe Bimmerfest) got a 63% if I recall correctly. I am guessing they rolled the...

Agree with Gooch... there is a 2k build-out cash that should be in there if I'm not mistaken - and your MF should be .00125 (3%) depending on FICO... last residuals I saw for 24/12k was 63% - not 62 but that may be changing as the 15's are on there way. All that said, your selling price is a...

I don't really need the onboard storage options, but the HK system I believe is pretty consistent across the models - so maybe a sit down in another similarly equipped i3 or model. I test systems through my ithingy as I like to hear specific ranges... and yes I have my wife's music as well... so...

Here's my wordy take :)... the technology and range will arguably improve exponentially over the next 3-5 years (and perhaps beyond). I will always lease electric until such time as there is a viable and economically prudent methodology for replacing batteries. You'll probably be out of any tax...

I'm dealing with this soon for my LEAF return and am expecting some dings - tires and bumps etc... but tires you should watch out for. While this is Canadian and I'm not sure of the date, it does get specific on tire wear: http://www.bmwottos.ca/pdf/End_Of_Lease_Brochure_Eng.pdf With 20k miles...

As I am coming off-lease from our LEAF in a couple of months, and we're moving to all BEV (I love my wife for being daring:)), I'm in uber-research mode for leasing and I'm looking at them all... well, except Tesla sigh... So here is what I see from your numbers all within a WAG and more or...

Wonder... I personally would not sign this deal... the BMW rebate as I am reading it from another dealer site (http://www.kunibmw.com/new/BMW/2014-BMW-i3-7d14e8dd0a0a00e01c48fcb1fcfd42dc.htm?ref=hero) is actually an enhanced fed tax credit (?!) There is also the 2k innovation rebate.... so - if...

Pancakes... I don't believe there are any ethical consequences... I very much appreciate the minute details that everyone shares - in particular for me is the dealership (helps understand region and who is willing to deal), sales price before any rebates and tax incentives, MF, and residual...

If memory serves me... Monterey CA BMW has allocated 7/15 slots to date... quite a bit of interest in the test drive event held last week - they turned folks away.

Interesting experience... Monterey BMW is having a drive event on Feb 19 and I'll take a spin. I'm not sold on the cost/range factor when compared to my Leaf which has exceeded all of my expectations per my driving habits, but I'm always willing to take a look. As posted here also, I am leasing...
