Help me understand numbers on BMW lease agreement?

Hi,

Can someone help me with my questions. For my leases/finance in Canada the numbers were never this complicated. As an example, no where on my lease agreement can I find the agreed upon money factor or interest rate other than the 'rent charge' noted here. Frankly, I wouldn't have cared much but now that I may end up buying it, I'd like to understand where have I over-payed.

Please see screenshot below.

MSRP was $106,295. Agreed upon pricing was $84,925 ($925 being acquisition fee). I'm in state of California where the tax is 9%.

1. Rent charge is $5,384.75. How do I calculate the interest rate on it? I did a high level calc and it came to around 3.46%. I'm not sure if I did that correct?

2. Does $66,965.85 include sales tax? If i print out my payout document today, it shows sales tax as $0.00 which I'm not sure why.

3. The document shows $9,500 on delivery out of which $7,500 was a rebate (I did pay $2,000 down to cover first month payment, registration etc.). If I was to buyout the car, do I end up losing the $7,500?

4. Continuing with (3) above. If I was to look at my lease payments of $735.85 x 24 + Residual of 66,965.85 gets me to $84,626 (let's round it to $84,925). So where did the $7,500 rebate go? Is that being offset by the "rent charge" of $5,384.75?

5. Capitalized Cost is the agreed upon price. But I feel like if I buy it out, how does the capitalized cost reduction of $7,141.74 completely disappear?

Thanks for your help!

I get 3.75%. The only way is guess and check.

You are currently only paying sales tax on the lease payment (depreciation). Balance left to pay on residual.

Discount is baked in the to the transaction, does not go away.

No the rebate contributed to how you got from the 106 msrp to 85k sales price.

No, that was your cash down I'm assuming? Your buyout is the PV of the unpaid balance. Initial balance was 85k, less down payment.

Thank you! Super helpful!

Just to confirm, the $66K residual, do you know if that includes sales tax or is it in addition to that?

I don't think you have to guess and check...there should be a mathematical formula to derive money factor.

I haven't been on leasehackr in a while (their forum there would easily answer all your lease questions) but if i recall correctly:

Money Factor = (Rent Charge / # of Months) / (Adj Cap + Residual)

So your money factor is 0.00155
Multiply by 2400 to get the interest rate = 3.72%

Residual doesn't include sales tax.

You can also go to www.leasehackr.com and enter all of your numbers in to see how the monthly payment is figured out.

Looks like it was from July 2019, when a bunch of us got M4CS's for around $30K off after trunk money and rebates....

Yes it is for M4 CS and it was those hefty discounts back in July 2019.

I just find US BMW lease agreement number much more complicated the way they are presented compared to Canadian.

To be honest, relative to other Auto Leasing Companies, BMW's leases are very straightforward. It's all about understanding all of the components, which BMW does a great job of breaking out.

I get what he means though.

All you need is a sale price, term length, residual % and interest rate. Everything else is useless or redundant.

For reference here is how Canadian numbers presented. This is an old quote but this has not changed since I bought my first BMW in 2011:
