Lease or finance
your BMW
Should I lease or finance a BMW in Mississippi and in Jackson, Mississippi?
Lease if you want a newer BMW on a clock. Finance if you want to own it.
A typical lease stays inside the 4-year/50,000-mile factory warranty, and BMW Ultimate Care includes scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles, which covers a typical lease. Finance if you want your name on the title, no mileage cap, and you are comfortable owning the car after the factory warranty. Protection plans are optional.

A simple example (illustrative, not a quote from this store)
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau walks lease math as the amount you are paying down, divided by months. If that amount is $12,000 over 36 months, the depreciation piece is $333 a month before finance charges and tax. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Common questions
Should I lease or finance a BMW in Mississippi and in Jackson, Mississippi?
Lease if you want a newer BMW for a set time and miles, usually still inside the 4-year/50,000-mile factory warranty. Finance if you want your name on the title, no mileage cap, and no inspection when you are done. Consumer Reports’ rule of thumb: if you plan to keep a car six years or more, buying is almost always the better money.
How many miles can I drive on a BMW lease?
Your contract is the number that counts. A higher yearly limit costs more each month. Some customers can buy extra miles later. Ask us to show the miles on your deal.
Who handles BMW leases and loans?
Leases and many purchase loans run through BMW Financial Services. You can manage an account in the My BMW app or at BMW Financial Services My Account.
