I wouldn't want to tie up 50k in a depreciating asset when that 50k could be making me more money elsewhere, so for some of us lease and finance rates are very important.

Low risk? No. However, I wouldn't lease a vehicle at 7.75% anyway so that point is moot. (This is why I said interest rate is very important to some of us-- if I just "had to have" one, and I didn't want to be paying that high of interest, then sure, paying cash might make sense-- but the 135 isn't quite that desirable to me)

I will be cancellng my order!
For all of you who plan on purchasing the 1er with cash I completely understand. I would be all over it if I was in that position. I will be purchasing and financing new vehicle within the the next 6 months. I will hold of as long as possible and see if BMW drops the finanace rates on the 1er if not I will be going elsewhere. For all of you that are sticking with the 1er, are any of you planning on financing or leasing? I guess I just dont understand how anyone would be willing to pay such a premium for the car. Would you pay a higher MSRP for a 135i as a 335i coupe if they had the same lease/finance rates? At what price would you not buy a 135i? I guess I am just confused as to why anyone would lease/finance a vehicle at such a high rate when almost every other vehicle available can be found at a rate of 4.9% or less. This translates to 1000's of dollars. Anyway just my rant for the day as I compose an email to send to my SA to cancel my 135i. |

A lot of people don't realize that by giving in to these types of things, the car companies continue to do what they do.
If BMW could have 135's sitting on their lots by April or May, they'd wonder what the hell happened. It would be glorious to see it play out this way, but not enough people are willing to grow some balls and let their dealer know they're unhappy with the package offered. Any good retailer listens to what their customers are saying. Personally I really appreciate it when a customer whom isn't happy with what I'm offering them let's me know of this fact. At least when you're presented with their displeasure you have the opportunity to address it. It's the customers that just roll over and accept it, or worse-yet, never even give you the opportunity to earn their business that (honest) retailers don't like. You'd be surprised what the BMW dealer might do if you just ask for a deal.

To be perfectly honest with you, I would be purchasing the 1 over the 3 even if the 1 series had a higher MSRP. I have driven extensively in a 335i coupe and love everything about the car except the size. Coming from an S2000, I find the 3 just too damn big. So why wouldn’t I choose the 1 over the 3 irregardless of price? The 1 offers everything that the 3 series does except the bulk. Just my 2 cents.

That being said I myself have owned two S2000's (an '01 and an '04) and I don't find the 335 overly large really.

Nothing over the MSRP. It has been a long time since I've seen or heard of anyone needing to pay over MSRP. If people buying Ferrari's and RR don't pay over MSRP, I don't see why someone would have to for a 1.

The 3 isn't huge but it feels big compared to my S2k. I'm sorry but over 8 inches in length is a lot and the rag top is a fair bit lighter than the Cabrio 335. Plus there is more storage in the trunk on the 1 with the top down.
