Hi All,

Just curious if anyone is interested in taking over my lease. I love this car and am not super motivated but I know manuals are hard to find and would be willing to part with her for a good home. I've removed the down payment so now just a straight lease take over or purchase. Transfer fee/inspection/shipping will be at buyer's expense.

Per my BMW rep the payoff amount is $43,373.22 as of 2/3/16. My payment is $607.30 a month which includes WA sales tax and the BMW lease protection so you don't have to worry about excessive wear and tear charges. Before tax the monthly payment is $550. You could also choose to cancel the lease protection and the remaining balance would be taken off the end of the lease.

This car is basically cherry, the only blemish is a rock chip in the windshield from the freeway. I haven't gotten it fixed because it really doesn't bother me or obstruct the view. Always garaged, at home and work. I have BMW NW detail it once a month. Message me if you want more/better pictures.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

Sup guys,

I see a lot of views, but no replies... Is it the down payment that's scaring people off or is the monthly too high? One guy PM'd me it's 'ridiculous'. Just curious.

Thanks

I work in the industry as a strategic product manager, perhaps I can share some insight for the lack of interest.

MY15 335i's are typically viewed 'less desirable' because of the LCI and discontinuation of the 335i for the new MY16 340i, which has a completely a new engine, new LED lights, etc. Most buyers would prefer to spend a little less for a MY12-14 335i, or just go with a MY16 340i.

And unfortunately you'll likely see the value of these F30 335i's drop even more over the next few years because of this. The depreciation of these models is already ridiculous but unless the new B58 engine is a complete dud (it's already been ranked as a top engine for 2016) the F30 335i will drop even more than average. The N55 engine is already quite old, and the used market will either prefer the N54 for it's tuning capabilities, or the new modular structure B58.

That said, you still have a fantastic car, but you'd be better off either selling it now, or keeping it for the long term.

But with that said, I, personally, am I big fan of the N55. I had a hand in it's development and know many of the people who built it. It will always have a place in my heart.

If you are looking to sell the car, what would be your asking price?

[BIGGNS]

Thanks for the insights Doc, much appreciated. I guess I just like my car more than anyone else and will keep on driving it. The buyout is currently $43k and change which I think is a good deal. I wouldn't take a loss just to get out of this 335. I'll keep it listed here just in case anybody stumbles upon their ideal 6mt stripper.

[BIGGNS]

Ok, I've removed the down payment request. Any interest?

FWIW, I leased a brand new 2016 340 xDrive with every option including M performance parts that had an MSRP of 65k for 650/mo including 7% NJ tax. This was with no cap reduction and all taxes/fees/title rolled into the payment.

So my net payment is really just 650*36.

As mentioned above, a $600 payment on a car that is pre LCI and has an MSRP of over 10k less than what I bought is not appealing.

Furthermore, the residual when I leased mine in december was 62%, and it is currently 64% making leasing even cheaper (similar MF).

I would think that to get rid of this car you would have to offer a $100 incentive. It's a nice car though - if you can just keep it and enjoy it
