Has anyone leased a BARE BONES / NO OPTION M3 or M4???

[pimp4cheddar]

Just looking to get some feedback. I visit and read up on here all day long and look at random deals.

I see a lot of $700-$900 lease payments for high MSRP cars but I haven't seen a single post about someone ordering a bare bones M and what that lease price would look like.

From my initial calculations that lease payment should be around the very low $600 range.

I ask because I also tinker with the idea of getting an M3 and have it be a 6spd with no options...instead of waiting for the M2...


Just looking to see if anyone here has ordered one and what that lease situation looks like.

The monthly price will depend on lease rates as well as mileage, MSDs, taxes, and the original negotiated cap cost.

For example, I decided to maximize my MSD option, and assuming lease rates are similar in July (65% residual/.00129 MF for 10,000 miles 36 months), my monthly payment is around $660 per month. Now this is a vehicle with all three packages, DCT, and M adaptive suspension.

If you can negotiate near invoice + maximize MSDs AND the rates BMW gives out in July is the same as the numbers for June, you can easily get that monthly price down to the low 600s/high 500s.

Yep...that's the math I've gotten with all my scenarios. The M3's lease well and I'd be looking at a 63%-65% residual. In FL the tax is 6.5% so it's average...

I've run the numbers many times lol

I'd honest go bare bones or just throw on leather - I would opt out of everything else like Navi or Adaptive Suspension.

I have a deal on a car with US MSRP 70K, Ed invoice/dealer profit and grad incentive making the out-the-door price 62K.

With 1K cap cost reduction + 7 MSDs it's about 5500 due at signing. 7% tax. 594/ month.

Assumptions: 65% residual, 10K mile lease for 3 years, all registration dealer and doc fees included.

M3 Build:
Sakhir Orange Paint
Full Silverstone leather
Adaptive M suspension
19" Wheels
6 speed manual

If you got a basic car without Adaptive M, 19" wheels, and full leather the price of the car would go down by around 5,400. Probably low 500 lease then assuming the deal above.
