Anyone rushing out to Lease I3 with MSD's going away?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Saw a thread on the x3 site, that as of May 1, MSD's are going away. Big hue and cry. Anyone here thinking of jumping on an i3 before that? Curious what 2017 i3's base and rex are leasing for? Bailyhill

Not because of MSD's (although I did max them out), but because the lease pull-ahead allowed me to ditch the old (and problematic) REX in favor of the new BEV i3. I ended up with $249.xx monthly on 10K/24 month lease. I put $41 down to bring monthly below 250, so that my 7 MSD down became 1750 instead of 2100. Otherwise, my monthly was going to be 251.xx. a

Yes. Trading in my lease 4 months early to do it while I can get 7 MSD. I have my dealer looking for a car for me right now. I want a very specific build (exactly what I have now). I actually didn't post about this here because I didn't want extra competition looking for loaded i3's Unfortunately last time I leased there was thousands in option credits and better residuals. I'm looking at another $50 a month now because price increases, high MF, and lack of incentives here in April. So that blows. But even if I wait that that 7 MSD makes such a difference and I don't think MF will go down in the next few months. If I can't find the exact car I want I'll hold on my lease as long as I can but arrrg , might consider jumping up to a used Tesla S then because I want electric and BMW isn't being competitive.
Ending the 7 MSD is such a bummer. Last edited by TimeFor; 04-21-2017 at 12:08 AM.. |
