Lease Interest Rate from BMW FS
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and looking forward to joining GTA 2er meet up one day!
I went to the dealership and was told that they no longer accept 2016 2 series orders since BMW has ceased the production. It turns out that the lease interest rate for 2017 2 series is starting at 4.9% which is too high for me to consider placing an order. I tried to find the historical data for the interest rates but couldn't find one. Do you know when they usually lower their interest rate for new year model, and if so by how much? Thanks! |

In more details, coupes were at 2.9% where the convertibles were 3.9%
http://www.bmw.ca/en/topics/details/...al-Offers.html This page shows the rates for 2ers both the 2016 228i/M235i and the 2017 230i/M240i that is until they update the website then it'll be at 4.9...

As for getting a low rate on 2017s, don't hold your breath. Dealers still have lots of 2016 models left and the clock is ticking down to December. Which would you finance/lease at 2.9% A 2016 car? Or a 2017 model? What happens in February of 2017 when 2016s are still on the lot? You can get a 2016 car though. I pick up my first 2 on Saturday (a 228i). If you want a RWD car, it's a challenge but Bruce Redwood at Performance BMW in St. Catherines had one a few weeks back (a customer backed out of a deal). It's a bit loaded but he was willing to give me a good deal. If you want xDrive, most of the dealers still have them. I've had really great luck with Maranello BMW (ask for Walter). I'm sure they have an xDrive 228. Serge at Pfaff had two 228i xDrive demos (black and red). Finally, had a really good experience a Policaro BMW in Brampton talking with both Ken Deng and Frank (his manager). Those guys are definitely willing to deal and have cars in stock. Good luck. |

you should source external loan rates...when I bought my car I first got approved via Chase at 1.9% and the dealer matched it for me

Hmm.. I'm not in any rush but not sure if I can wait that long haha. I've looked through their inventories you recommended, but still didn't find the one I like. I think I need to be less picky at this point otherwise I will have to wait until next year. Thanks for all references, I will definitely take your advice if I choose to buy one from the lot. |

Are you referring to financing or leasing? I was told that I can lease through only BMW FS, not 3rd party. Was I misinformed? I'd love to explore that option since I have very good credit, so I may be able to get better rate.

I highly recommend Car Gurus as they have a fairly comprehensive list of what's left on dealer lots. I was on there numerous times a day until I decided to just order a 2017

As for the 'M' package and the 2-series, for 2016 I have not seen any that are anything but 'M'bolized. Sport and Modern don't even seem to exist. |

you can no longer order 2016 models. its whatever is left in the lot or extended lots. if you want to order, you need to order 2017. Dealer told me that usually new cars will be 3.9-4.9% rates for first few months. then go down to like 2.9-3.9% and then usually around christmas time and april-june (end of cycle), will go to 0.9-2.9% depending on the specials they have.
