You have to understand with a lease bmw is the owner of the car. With that I would always expect that if it's totalled you get nothing. Absent lawsuits and tort claims. A regular loan or select is different as some folks roll taxes into the payment and loan in total. No, If the car is totaled the insurance company will look at what market value is...over the last year market value has been overvauled but recently it correcting and will likely F a lot of people in the a. Gap would cover that difference, the insurance companies goal is to pay out the least amount of money. However, lets say you put down 20k on a lease ...would bmw FS screw a customer like that no, but why take the risk. |

Lease sounds more reasonable overall when its all layed out at the end of the day with the economics at the momment or just not buy / lease a 100k car |

Rates lock expire after 60/90 days after the month you apply/approval. However, you can ask for bmw to honor rates due to delays. Residuals and incentives are not locked and change monthly |

What is the current Bmw finance rate? I heard in January it was 3.99 for 60 months? I would be picking up my car end of April-May. Should I lock in the current rate at 4.59 for 60 months? I know I will be looking into some credit union. Do you guys think the rates will get better in few months?

Dealers were able to lock rates for 90 days (east coast) during 2021 / 2022 and you might want to check if thats still the case. In that scenario, your delivery would fall within the rate lock timeframe.

Hi,
I am new to the forum. I am expecting my car to arrive the port of Baltimore next week. If everything goes smoothly, I expect the car to be available at the dealership the week of Feb 19th. What would be a good time to start looking for and locking financing options? Also, any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated. Thanks! |

For future reference, when a car is inbound, you can lock ahead of time - 60 days for East Coast dealers and 90 days for West Coast. You probably could have had December rates from BMW locked for February delivery. December was 3.99 to 60 and 4.49 at 72 vs. I believe 4.59 to 60 and 5.09 to 72 currently.

If you lock it's good for 60-90 days after the month you apply. If within that time period it goes lower you should get the lower rate. As far as looking at credit unions ...some wont lock and if they do they only do it 30days or less. It's likely you will be able to beat BMW rates, however the FED just increase them again. 4.59% APR seems correct |

Thank you, I just locked in rate at 5.59%, The dealer is adding 1 point? are all dealers doing that? This month is 4.59 with the added 1 point from the dealer, it is 5.59%. Can I get them to remove that? I did not want to lose my allocation. Or can I work that out when I pick up the car? |

I locked at 5.59% today. Didn’t push on negotiating because I’m probably just going to pay cash. There is a $750 incentive if I finance but they said payoff has to be 90 days+. By that point I’d spend over $750 in interest so doesn’t seem to make sense. Unless I guess I can finance a very small amount.

My question to you guys is how do I go about approaching my delear with outside financing once delivery day arrives. Does delear have to honor.
I've known my sale advisor for 5 yrs now, nice guy, have never gotten a supurb deal like I see on these forums with lease rates. But this time I'm looking for more leverage. I see a lot of people on the forum presenting outside finaning to their dealer for lesser rates. Do we always have to go with bmw financial?? Someone please help with this process. My delivery looking like April or May. Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere |

Its better to tell your plan when you finalize the deal so that the dealer is aware of it and some dealers wouldnt have any issue. Looks like you might have already placed the order and i would highly recommend to bring this topic up with CA now and not right before delivery.

In either case you really have no leverage in this market as someone will pay and buy it. My advice is ask beforehand then have loan options on lock then adjust when it gets near delivery. Do the math of the ENTIRE deal and refi if needed or in some cases a few K in markup is easy to swallow with finding an better outside rate and any incentives. My car was built back in November with a rate lock in Sept with another one in December and I still don't have the car and since then rates have doubled and the car went up in MRSP. |

You can pay off in a few weeks after doing the deal once it gets loaded in BMWFS. You still get the 750. Dealer losses kickbacks over the period. |
