Watch out for random fees. Make sure Acquisition fee is 725 (Dealers are allowed to mark it up by $200). Your lease contract will not mention money factor anywhere so you have to make sure dealer's monthly payment calculation is correct.

Check the numbers on the actual lease agreement (that really long piece of paper) carefully. All the rest is boilerplate BMW Finance language, so don't worry about it. |

You can double check the money factor like so:
MF = (rent charge/#months) / (adj cap cost + residual) The rent charge is disclosed on the contract. It is the total interest you will pay over the life of the lease. Multiply the MF by 2400 to get the approx APR equivalent. Other than that, just check the acquisition and doc fees as mentioned above. |
