Lease maintenance question
Hey guys If I chose to go 36/60000, what maintenance should I expect during that gap? Any potential issues?
I will probably stay with the 30/50,000 but I just wanted to make sure. |

I know. It would be terrible to pay thousands of dollars for some repairs or maintenance when I won't even own the car. I don't remember it being all that much cheaper either.
Did I mention, I really don't want to pine over lease calculations again? haha. |

Admittedly, I come from a different manufacturer's background (Toyota), but I have to believe that a "normal" maintenance schedule should easily provide you with adequate insurance. A maintenance-free 60,000 miles should be NO problem for a new BMW.

Can you not ask for the extended warranty? I believe it's a couple of thousand dollar for 2 year/20K miles extra. It would take away some of the risk.. sure it's still a few thousand but it could potentially save a lot too.
But, then again, I have no idea if you can do this while under a lease, they did offer me this as an option if I were to keep my car after my lease. |

Are you saying you might lease 3 years at 20k miles per year?

I've never heard of anyone leasing a car at 20k miles per year. What kind of a residual are you getting?

your car most likely not have a huge problem in those 6 months. Nothing that will equal paying the premium to do a 20k/year 30 month lease.
Yes the 335 had problems but the biggest issue (HPFP) is covered for 100k miles. So no worries there. |

What company are you leasing through that is giving you that good of a residual for 20k miles per year? BMWFS is only doing a 62% residual for 15k miles on the 2012 3 series.

Probably .15 cents per mile over the 15k. I saw in another thread you are using a dealer in Atlanta. By chance is it Adrian out of South Atlanta BMW?

Great guy. I'm in Alabama and ordered a 530i from him back in 2006. That was when he was still at Nalley. He gave me a quote on ordering a 2012 335i this week. My M3 lease is up in 2 months and I'm trying to decide whether to buy it or turn it in. I love it but damn the price of gas just keeps going up and I'm only getting 13 mpg.

The F30 is the 335i that I wish was there when I bought my E90 335i |

Pretty good residual for the miles. Wont find many people willing to sell an F30 for $1k over invoice right now either.
