this is very expensive, down payment alone is a deal breaker!
good luck!

You don't have to sell us on it...we all drive the same car! If your car is shaking so much while idling at a stop light, you've got a problem. BMW engines run too smoothly to do that. What's your issue with the car?

swapalease.com might be a better choice... It might be a better choice than on here, as I think most leases I've read about on these boards have better rates. For example, and mine isn't the best I've heard of, I have a similar car as you do, sDrive 35i + sport, prem, navi, 19" tire, cold weather, and I pay more than $150 less than you do a month, and paid less than half of your downpayment. Also have a two year lease.

Whether you attempt to unload it now or several months from now, your biggest hurdle is going to be to find someone willing to shell out $7k and pay close to $700 per month for a Z4.

I would recommend going back to the dealer. See if you can't work it so your payment stays the same and you get into a more practical 3 or 5 series. New 328 sounds cool. $700+/month for a 3 is outrageous, maybe you could get less without having to put any additional monies down? Keep in mind, summer is coming. It's much easier for that dealer to unload a Z4 now than in 6 months. And with the dearth of available used cars on the market, they might be anxious for something to push at weekend and sale customers. |

If he goes back to the dealer then his car will be appraised, let us say they apraise it at $55K and he still owes $57K for him to get out of the lease he would have to pay the dealer $2K plus tax and some dollars to handle the early lease closure to get out of it. I know those details from trying a company car lease early return some years ago. On the other hand if you just leased this car (the way I understand) you can return it to the BMW dealer and rent another one with very if any financial loss. You should discuss this with the salesman that arranged the lease on your car you have now. It might be the best avenue of attack. Let us know how you make out, it might be good information for others here on this board. In Canada we have LeaseBusters you pay $300- and they help you get out of a lease must be the same in the USA. In Canada to turn a leased car in early at a dealership is very expensive. If one returns early and leases another car no additional expenses are encured other then to cover the dealers paperwork. I see you also posted here, only no details. Show some photos and more details like this fellow did ---> Click to have a look at his Post Someone peeking in from your area or close to it might be looking for one. Good Luck From your note here I think your best bet would be a meeting with your original salesman/lease individual to resolve your problem. BMW has many practical cars that will serve you just fine.

This is a terrible situation. What was the original msrp of the car?
Your down payment is outrageous. Putting down that kind of money on a lease is a poor financial decision. I agree with others saying to go back to the dealer and see what they are willing to do. I would take the hit now rather then later. Either way I don't see someone taking over the lease and handing you more then 2 or 3 thousand. |

In addition to what others have said about making the change now instead of waiting, BMWFS won't allow a change in the lessee during the final 6 months of a contract.

In the past, I've always used swapalease.com to get out of a lease early. It's really easy and doesn't take long as long as you have an attractive lease. Most people want zero down or if you can offer an incentive to take over your lease. Check it out: www.swapalease.com Sounds like the dealership to you to the cleaners with such a large down. Are you sure some of that is not a deposit you can get back at the end of the lease. I know there are some leases where you can further lower the lease payment by adding a security deposit. Anyways.....Good Luck!

What are the residual and MF now?
on my z4, I did 2k drive off 650/month with 8.75% LA County tax included. Tire/wheel insurance plus lease end wear and tear included. if i didn't get the insurance and wear and tear, drive off would have been around $800/month. MSRP on my Z4 is about $65k

MSRP is $58k and you put a $7k down and still paying $691 mothly? From your initial post when you postet the down and monthly I thought the cars MSRP would have been $68k or more and you got the deal down to around $64k of that or something. That is insane.
