What to Expect When Leasing
BMW started building cars with the buyer in mind. From their performance vehicles to their website, there is no detail they have overlooked. If you’re interested in leasing any of these fabulous cars, their lease information is clearly stated online under “All Leasing and Financing Offers”.
Each BMW is strapped with a maintenance program for the first three years or 36,000 miles – whichever comes first. The BMW Ultimate Car Program includes:
- BMW Scheduled Maintenance, including oil, filter changes and more
- Roadside Assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for 4 years and unlimited miles
- BMW TeleService: Lets your vehicle report to BMW when it needs service
Leasing is almost always a game of negotiations. Depending on how long you plan on keeping the car, how many miles the dealership expects to be on the car before turning it back in, where you live or even if you plan on buying the car at the end of the lease, your terms may change.
