    How Long to Receive HOV Decals?

    Green or white? The green ones for hybrids had run out at end of 2015. But CA lifted the cap on them effective 9/13. I just got a letter from the DMV that my sticker is waiting, pending me sending in $22. The letter states that I will receive the stickers in less than 30 days.

    New Motor Mount bolts

    The service rep did mention that it went through 'programming' which I take to mean a software update, but that isn't mentioned on the service record. How can I know it was updated?

    66 mile round-trip commute Monday to Friday

    My commute is very similar, though my average speeds are probably faster. My RT commute is 60 miles, and I almost always drive a few miles to lunch so I'm right around 66 miles/day. I also drive ~ 10 miles most mornings to/from the gym. I have reliable access to chargers at the office... in...

    New Motor Mount bolts

    Just took mine in for an unspecified required service, and was informed about the bolt replacement recall. They will perform that but mentioned nothing about a SW update to go with it (I still have pre-Nov 2015 SW and I like it that way).

    Anybody RENEWING their Sirius XM Contract?

    This. I've been a Sirius subscriber in other cars since around 2004. I also use Slacker occasionally but like many others my data plan is limited to 2GB/m and I often get very close to that limit with only modest music streaming. For as much as I listen it's worth the cost. What i won't do...

    Good or Bad Deal in Socal

    I'd recommend going to Edmunds.com and using the new car service on there. Some dealers are offering $8000 off the MSRP, guaranteed through that site, no negotiation required. In the end, I was able to get a $55k REX this month with ~$9500 off which included a $1000 special incentive (corp...

    BMW Lease Calculator

    Looks that way: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/carpool/carpool.htm But I would bet they will extend it at least once more. Sales of plug-in hybrids would fall off a cliff if the green stickers are not extended. And with DMV still accepting applications (without payment), it would seem to...

    Lease Deal I Negotiated: Good/Bad?

    Seems very good. What was the MSRP, Gross Capitalized Cost, and the Net Capitalized Cost? Money factor?

    Lease Deal I Negotiated: Good/Bad?

    I've been getting quotes from a few dealers (Southern California). out of 4 dealers, 2 quoted a 30m/15k lease 56% residual with MF=0.00111, while the other two quoted 57% residual with MF=0.00131. I used to believe that the residual value was always just one number set by BMWFS, but seems...

    This is very impressive!

    Lease deal in Socal, what do you guys think?

    Do you have a sense of the range of MF that the dealers can offer, and what is considered good? The published BMW lease seems to imply 3.23% APR which I think is .00135 MF. Would be helpful for keeping the dealer honest as I look to negotiate perhaps later this week. Thanks!

    Lease deal in Socal, what do you guys think?

    Hi. Could you please post the money factor offered and the #of miles/yr? That would be helpful for prospective buyers like me who are trying to follow along and compute the deals that people seem to be getting. Thanks! PS- if you don't go for that car, and the dealer is near me (SoCal), I'd...
