$1500 BMW finance incentive

Does anybody know if one has to pay the BMW's high APR, currently at 4.5%, in order to qualify for the $1500 BMW finance incentive? Is the APR negotiable? It just seems kind of silly to get the $1500 incentive and give it all back in interest.

Thanks

Yes, you have to purchase or lease from BMWFS.

But do you have to take their current rate or is the rate negotiable?

Their rates are based on your credit rating and are not negotiable. What bank has negotiable finance rates? If you lease, you can put down up to 7 security deposits that will reduce the money factor by .00049.

BMWFS' so called current financing special is 4.5% for 60 months with a $1500 incentive. My credit union is offering 1.79% for 60 months, quite a difference. The difference in interest paid over 60 months is more than the $1500 incentive. I guess BMW finance special is not so special after all.

I agree, BMWFS's current rates are terrible, both leasing and financing. That's why I am going to buy my leased M3 rather than turn it in and lease another one or something else. i may have mispoke about whether you have to finance with them to get the $1500 option credit. The fine print isn't very clear this month.

I miss spoke, the $1500 is not a financing incentive, BMW change it to a option incentive this month. Does anybody know if one have to take out a loan with BMWFS in order to qualify for the option incentive?
