We drive two BMWs. One is primarily mine, a 2019 X5; the other, a 2014 328d, is my wife’s car. Both have been throwing fault codes lately, which concerns my wife. With 75K on her car but no known issues other than a code, her car is in perfect condition. However, to preclude any future problems, we are considering getting her a new BMW. Thus, should we consider a new lease, buy her a new bimmer, or do nothing?
Thus far, I have scoured the internet and found that a new lease for a 330i will generally be about $550 per month for 36 months with about $4500 upfront. What’s better about a BMW lease compared to a Mercedes is that BMW provides all normal maintenance for 20K miles or 2 years while Mercedes wants you go buy a maintenance agreement for several thousand dollars in addition to the cost of the lease. I have also filled out the online forms for both The Lease Outlet and D&M Leasing to see what they have to offer in the way of leasing. So far D&M has texted me and it seems they offer both a 24-month and 36-month lease and also lease used BMWs. I have a call scheduled with them later in the day, Monday so we’ll see what they have to offer.
All of this is part and parcel of us getting our collective acts together for the future. My wife, understandably, wants a car under her that she can trust. I want one with which she doesn’t have to concern herself with the maintenance thus we’re looking into a new car lease. Up to now, I have accomplished all of the maintenance on her 2014 including oil and filter changes, brakes, etc. That is no longer something I can easily accomplish with my degraded physical being. Such is life.
