Zero Down and $700/Month for a Lease?
I think it's a great looking car and I've always respected BMWs.
That said, I ran across a Blog that reported that a lease payment for the new 1 Series would be about $700/month if the customer didn't put any cash as a down payment. The Blog suggested that a better deal could be negotiated on a 3 Series. Here's a link to the Blog: http://www.bmwblog.com/2008/02/28/bm...e-lease-rates/ Since you're the BMW Expert in these parts, do you agree or disagree with the lease quote in the Blog? |

I just picked up a 3-Series this weekend and I love it! I just had to brag a bit.
The 1-Series is overpriced for what it is. It is a great looking car though. If BMW could drive prices down, it would be a major success. |

Congratulations on the new car

Back to the 1 Series, I read that the residuals are OK but the money factor is high. I'll wait for Rod to chime in with more details. |

Love the car but hate the customers?
I was reading a BMW Forum the other day and noticed that the 1 Series had created an emotional debate.
It seemed that there was no question that it was going to be a great car, the issue is what type of customers it would attract to the brand. There was a set of owners that resented BMW for "trying to be all things to all people." Mercedes tried this before and failed - it will be interesting to see if BMW can make it work? |

Didn't I read somewhere that the 1 is pretty much being phased out in the US now?
