As for requiring a set of winters, it would be up to your piggy bank. There are always used sets being put up for sale in kijiji and you can definitely save some $ by buying there. Of course, there is always a chance of damage issue with the used ones which may caused by potholes, normal wear & tear, etc.
What do you recommend for under coating?krown?ziebart?

krown is probably the better choice. Personally, I don't think it's needed even if you plan to keep the car for like 6 yrs or so. If you do get it done, you can do this once every couple of years. Ideally, it would be better simply do a wash once every couple of weeks. In the winter time, if temperature permits, then once a week so the objective is to get the salt off as much as possible.

Not too bad. I’m currently paying $685/mo for a 328 with premium essential package, non m sport model.

Now if I can only get past those awful looking Lexus taillights. LOL

@ Booblehead.

What is the best 48 month lease on X3 M40i with Premium Paint, Premium Enhanced, Drivers Assist and HK. Looks like they have a $3000 incentive for August.

20K a year.

Is the payment calculator for the BMW X3 30i not working? If you have a chance could you do the X3 30i + Premium Essential + $895 for Dark Graphite Grey - 48 months/20k year/loyalty/$0 down

Does anyone take their BMW in to have the body checked every year to keep the rust proof warranty for 12 years?

If you go in without showing any sign of rust issue, then they can charge you. I would think easily $100 for their time.

The question is whether or not to pull the trigger now or wait until the private sales in September. Thoughts?

Hmm. there is probably another $500 - $750 on the table to be grabbed in Sep and I would think that's pretty well the top limit. It comes down to when you need the car and are you picky on the leftovers (comes Sept)

I have a fleet discount of $500 so adding another $500 isn't a huge deal for me. Seems like there is still quite a bit of choice... Only issue is that the pull ahead will be 4 months instead of 3 as the lease is up at the end of December

You can discuss the deal to be done at end of August, such that it may not seem to be a 4 months pull. Perhaps, a dealer out there may do it for you.

Just curious, when you say “pull ahead” - is that an offer from BMW Financial or is that a dealership packaging it into your deal where they pay BMW Financial your remaining lease payments?

BMW financial covers up to 3 payments for pull ahead, the 4th month would come from the dealer and eat into your discount.
