Each market may have a different options but in the Eastern Market, the 10K mileage term per year is the lowest. Only 7,500 miles exist for the 7-Series leases.
Incorrect I donk know where you are getting your info from but the 7.5K is avaliable nation wide and not only avaliable for 7 series, perhaps is just your dealer .. which it can be understandable (FYI my source of information comes from BMW FS directly )

There are still quite a few 2017s sitting out there, and the LCI will be here in a few months. That means great lease deals on leftover 17s this spring. (assuming BMW continues lease support)

So if you're in a position to wait, wait. My current lease is up in June. If lease deals are good in the Spring I'll grab a 2017 and do another 2 year lease.
What may I ask is LCI?

Hostility or insulting? Brotha, read your posts that quote me in it and see for yourself. I'll leave it up to the rest of the members to decide who started what.

On any rate - I called BMW FS and their RCC center, and they have confirmed for me that there is no such 7,500 low-mileage term for an i8 lease in ANY market. So not just my "dealer" (as you insinuated in your above post) but every dealer in every market.

Thank you for spreading false information and attempting to out me in the process.

Do you work for a dealer? If you don't then I can't take your posts seriously given the fact that your "sources are spot on and pretty well connected to BMFS". Apparently they're not and you don't work for one if you have to rely on sources. My "source" is BMW Financial and their Retail Communications Center. Again, I'll let the members on here decide on who's source they should trust.




EDIT: And don't go editing your posts now looking like you didn't try and out me. I was minding my own business until somebody had to quote me in a response and call me out...

ok first I am not your brother,

second I was not trying to call anybody out I even stated that may be or perhaps the dealer that you work for..

third if you though that I was calling you out that is your problem..

fourth that you work for a dealer doesn't mean you know or that you got the correct info.. We have seem this here before.

fifth you don t have to leave it to any of the members here to decide any thing as to me you just became a 0 to my left, thank you again for your lost and info as I am done with the post.

Could you two girls stop arguing/just get a room already?

This thread is about i8 lease deals- not your penis measuring contest about a lowly 7500 mile lease.

Back to topic- thanks

Mileage terms have a huge significant factor in lease deals. The false information that 7,500 miles exist happens to be pretty important. Again, I was minding my own business when the above decided to call me out.

Happy Holidays everyone

Yes. Sorry

Waiting on to see if December had any enhancements.

No further enhancements in the December programs. Will be in touch.

Any current I8 deals going on? Was hesitant to take the plunge with the one that was live end of 16 early 17 even though my dealership made the process relatively simple.

LCI are modest improvements BMW makes to a model, generally a few years after it's been released.

On the M2, for example, the 2018 model year M2 got new headlights, new taillights, and a change to the interior. The instrument cluster was changed, and modest decorative changes with molding and trim.

Some Life Cycle Improvements include modest hp increases...

these are generally NOT something you can change to an older model, or at least not for a reasonable price!

rebooting this thread because I'm curious what lease deals are there on the new i8 models; my dealership was saying something like $2k/month...that seems way too much considering I'm paying $1,260 for 2015 model

I don't have any inside info, just my own experience. I've spoken to a few dealerships and the best quote I've gotten was $1500/mo. The others were all closer to $1700-$2000. All of them let me walk away rather than reduce the price further.

At least for the moment, it seems like the good old days of $1000-$1200/mo are over. I'm assuming that mostly has to do with lower residuals, now that there's some actual data on how much these cars depreciate long term (they didn't have that data in 2015 when the residuals were higher).

As an interesting side note, for fun I asked a dealer about leasing a used 2015 they were selling for around $85k (figuring it couldn't depreciate that much more so the rates might be decent). They gave me a residual of $30k after another 24 mo/10k mi with a payment of $2400/mo. Either they were just politely telling me to go away or they seriously think these things will keep on depreciating like rocks. Something to keep in mind for anyone thinking of buying or leasing.
