Hey guys. I've been looking around but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Just wondering if any of you are leasing your 335i coupes. If you are, I'm simply trying to get a ballpark figure for what kind of monthly rate I'd be looking at. I've tried on the site but we all know that's not always accurate. Thanks for any help.

Not to be "that guy," but why don't you call a dealer?

The monthly rate can vary a great deal, whats more important are the various factors (that you have control over) that go into a lease. After these, arriving at the monthly payment is just math.
The two most important factors that you don't have much control over are the residual value percentage and the money factor. The residual value percentage is set by BMW FS and can change month to month. If they really want to sell cars, this can be set high which is to your benefit. You can't negotiate this so you kind of have to get lucky on timing. The money factor is the interest rate which is determined by the market but also can be lowered if they really want to sell cars. The dealer can also mark-up the money factor to add profit for themself.
To get the best deal you want to negotiate a purchase price (no different than if you were paying cash) and then be aware of the all the extra fees and expenses. Some are standard and non-negotiable while others are BS that just add to dealer profit. Research this forum and the web to learn exactly how a lease is calculated and what fees etc. are legit and what is just extra profit.

Read all of the words on the web site. Not just your favorite words. It really factors to be close to 4,500 down.

With reg it was 3900 down over here in Cali. I got a 335i coupe with everything but Nav and enhanced cruise control, my monthly payment is 589. Figure on between 500 and 600 a month and @ 4k down, that will cover just about any 335, if you go 328 figure @ 450 to 550 a month with same down. With BMW's, unless you plan on keeping your car forever it is better to lease. My 525 is the first car I have kept more then 3 years, I just bought it at lease end. If I had bought it instead of leased, I would have paid it down to the point it was worth more then I owed at @ 32 months. That is calculating at 3.9% APR on a 52,000 car with payments at 799 a month. BMW has one of the best lease programs out there, they are no tier so if you have a 620 FICO or above you are good. Most lease companies want a 750 FICO. My buddy had a 428 FICO after some bad times, but still was able to lease a BMW because he had financed through BMW Fin in the past. Bottom line, from bank to repair, you can not beat a BMW.
