Definitely a big improvement, but I just spec'd the M340 that I already own on it and it came up with a "92%" match which had the wrong color interior leather and wrong wheels (plus a couple of their incorrect options). For me, those are two must haves, so I think calling it a 92% match is misleading. Unless they are counting details such as having 4 wheels and an engine when they evaluate their match %. I can see that it could be an interesting and useful feature for people, but they should just drop the % match claim and show the "best matches".

Makes sense to prolong programming to tap into July 4th opportunities.

Anyone have access to the new July programs?

I've heard the base MF dropped from 0.00165 to 0.00145, and loyalty/conquest stayed the same.

Looking to confirm this, and find out the new lease cash for M340 in the NorthEast.

It would be incredible if the MF went down that much, how did you hear about that? I didn't think they posted that information anymore?

For east coast region, for M340, incentives (for loyalty) were 3,250 in May. They stayed the same in June. For July, they dropped 250 to 3,000, but MF dropped to .00145 from .00165.

Residual value stayed the same at 61% for 10K.

July should be a better deal than May and June.

[Hysnbrg]

Thanks, signed last night, can confirm your numbers are correct.

First post updated with July numbers.

[drexplode]

I believe July MF is .00145

How are you getting $3250 and $3000? What am I missing?

This is a copy paste from the first post:
June:
$750 lease credit
$2,000 finance credit
$1,500 loyalty credit

July:
$500 lease credit
$2,000 finance credit
$2,000 loyalty credit

No combination of those numbers adds up to $3250 or $3000, is there a regional credit or something for the east coast?

Anyone know what the July finance incentives would be on a 2020MY 330i?

Those are the baseline incentives. More recently, BMW has also been allowing region specific additional incentives. For my region, an additional $500 was allowed for the M340. $500 (lease credit) + $2,000 (loyalty credit) + $500 (extra regional incentive) = $3,000.

For my deal, that drop in MF translates into about $20/mo or $720 over 3 yr lease. This makes July about the same discount as May incentives I believe. I ordered end of May and have delivery in early August so I get 4 months to chose from!

You can only choose between 2 months. The initial month you ordered and had your credit run (up to 60 days for east coast port of arrival, 90 days for west coast), and the month you take delivery.

The MF change equates to an APR drop of .5%, so I would be surprised if the reduction of $250 in incentives over the course of 3 years is about the same of a reduction of .5% in finance/buy rate. I'd guess July is better than May, but it could vary depending on your MSRP and selling price of vehicle.

My SA also told me they can give me any month between when I ordered and when the car comes in terms of incentives and MF/residual.

You may want to confirm that. Often it's not the dealer, but BMWFS that grants the rates. The dealer has basically no control over lease rates.
