With the options you listed, MSRP is ~$69k and invoice is ~$63k. You paid about $4k over invoice. Most deals considered "good" are up to $1500 over invoice. You shouldn't be putting anything as a down payment on a lease.

+1. You can do a lot better as far as the purchase price. And if you want to put money down to lower the payment, ask your CA about Multiple Security Deposits (MSDs). Do a search to learn more as the topic has been discussed at length here and on the 5er boards. Generally speaking, putting money down as cap cost reduction is a bad idea because you lose the down payment in the event of a total loss.

Still trying to understand the details of leasing better. How do MSD's lower the payment, does it buy you a better MF?

[Undertow]

You can put down up to 7 security deposits that will lower your money factor .00007 per deposit.

And the security deposits are equal to your projected monthly payment rounded to the nearest $50. The security deposits are fully refundable at the end of the lease less any excess wear charges.

Yup. That's exactly what I'm doing with the leasing of my new e92 m3. At the end of the lease I will be getting security deposit back.

A good deal would be car at invoice,but up to 1 k over invoice would be a pretty good deal not 4 k over invoice.
On a lease never put money down even put your taxes in payment. Only money you should put down if you want is as said above MSDs. From what I know any money used as a down payment if anything happenes to car stolen and not recovered or totaled you lost your down payment. Just put up the fees bank, dest,ect.

Invoice price based on the MSRP you posted is....

$62633.02

Zero down (drive off includes 1st month, $725 acquisition, security, license fees ~$50), $718 per month on a $67.5K coupe. ED though. IMHO worth the flight to Munich. Scrap ED, zero down and $810 per month is where you want to be. Your deal is not bad, its a rip off*.

If DCT reduces residual, then maybe my numbers a re bit off. They also assume 10K per year. But that is only 1%...

Here's the deal I'm working on a 64K ED M3 ZCP, Carbon, Metallic (7 MSDs):

US MSRP: 64125
ED INV PRICE: 53195
+500 OVER INVOICE: 500
+DEST CHARGE: 875
+GUZZLER TAX: 1300
+BANK FEE: 725
= CAP COST: 56595

MF = .00185
RESIDUAL = 59

PAYMENT W/ 6% TAX = 737.57

Agree that the OP's deal is a rip off.

Your money factor seems a little high with 7 MSDs. Base MF = .00180 + .0003 for ED = .0021 - 7 MSDs @ .0007 (.0049) = .00161

Mine is before taxes as they all differ, so take these out to compare apples to apples. Is your payment from your own spreadsheet or dealer. I am pretty sure you are not calculating your residual correctly. Rememerb, its based on the US MSRP.
