I haven't had a moment to post the numbers from my lease deal, and wanted to do so in case it helped anyone. I used this board and connected with a few members whose own deals helped me throughout my process. Here are the numbers for my New (leftover 2014) 3 Series Lease I got in February 2015 (after a couple months of negotiating).

2014 335i xDrive MSport - 6 speed Manual (Mineral Grey/Black)

MSRP: $61,430 (options noted below)
Sale Price: $51,500
Total Cap Cost: $53,906.34 (includes VA state sales tax of 4.05%)
Resdiual: 61% ($37,472.30)
Term: 36 months
Mileage: 12k/year
Money Factor: 0.0013
MSDs: $0
Down Payment: $1,720 (1st mnths payment, $925 acq fee + $220 Doc Fee)
Monthly Payment: $575.29 (again - includes VA state sales tax of 4.05%)

As an additional financial benefit, I submitted to get my $500 Rebate through BMWCCA for leasing a new 3 Series BMW.

The car was loaded with almost every option except the Driver's Assist Plus Package:

• Premium Package (1-year Sirius Sat Radio)
• Cold Weather Package
• Comfort Access
• Tech Package (Nav/HUD/Enhanced Bluetooth)
• Driver's Assistance Package
• Dynamic Handling Package
• HK Sound
• 19" 403 Wheels/Tires
• M Sport Brakes
• Rear Power Sunshade (and rear-side window shades)
• Adaptive Headlights
• M Performance Pedals
• Manual Transmission

I spent a few months looking for a Mineral Grey/Black 6speed, and almost ordered one until I found this car in Rhode Island (I am in Northern VA) and was able to negotiate what I think is a great deal since they had it on their lot for a while - it's sad to me that manuals are becoming all the more rare!

I look forward to becoming more active on this board, and will post some pictures and my future mod plans in the General section. Also, I need to find someone in the DC Metro Area that has experience coding these cars! Please contact me if you can help.

Happy Motoring.

The acquisition fee is slightly marked up from the BMWFS $795, but other then that looks like you're getting a great deal on the '14 and the dealer has to make a few bucks somewhere. The high MSRP discount really helps the lease by giving you a very high residual.

Thank you Cyberdemon - I knew their acq fee was slightly marked up and did try and negotiate it - but instead I had them throw in a new set of the BMW rubber floor mats (front & rear) for free - so I was happy to make the deal.

This dealership and the salesman in RI was a pleasure to deal with.

Seems like a good deal to me.
Is the doc fees for registration and plates or just a doc fee for buying a car. if so its a mark up

Yes - the registration and my VA tags made up the doc fee. Most of the dealers I got quotes from had similiar, if not higher "dealer" charges/fees.
