You need to negotiate the sale price of the car, not the monthly payment. Do not let the dealer take control by trying to negioatiate based on monthly payment.

If/when you come to an agreement on the sale price of the car, then you would negotiate the lease terms: money factor (interest rate), residual value and term (length of the lease). How much you decide as a down payment is your choice. The term is basically your choice, but each lease term has a residual value % associated with it.

Z4 owners will need to give you more information than the 3 things you asked for, in order to give you the most ammunition.
You will need to know the 3 factors mentioned above. I did not lease so I can not be of any assistance with that.

In addition, ask the dealer about any fees associated with lease start up or at the termination of the lease.
