GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT BMW FINANCE.
Offers from BMW Financial Services.
Which financial products does BMW offer you? What is the difference between leasing, loans, and BMW Select? And which is the right model for me? Here you will find all of the most important basic information.
Lease, loan or Select
If you choose to finance your vehicle by means of a loan, then the vehicle will belong to you once the loan agreement has come to an end.
BMW Financial Services offers you various different kinds of contract so that you can finance your vehicle the way you want. You can choose the down payment , term and monthly instalment level that suit you. With a leasing contract , you enjoy particularly low monthly instalments, paying only for the value the vehicle loses over the course of the contract’s term .
Once the agreement has come to an end, you can begin leasing a new vehicle . With residual value and Select leasing, you can also purchase the leased vehicle at a defined residual value .
If you choose BMW Select, then you are choosing the best of both worlds – leasing and loans. For relatively low instalments similar to those of leasing, you are given the option of buying the vehicle at the end of the agreement.What are the advantages of financing ?
As a customer of BMW Financial Services , you benefit from the fact that the products on offer are tailored to your particular vehicle and your financing wishes. Because the vehicle and the finance come from a single source, you will be advised correctly and you will save yourself time and trouble.
With our excellent prices and the user-friendly terms and conditions offered by BMW Financial Services , you can be sure that you are in good hands.Is leasing worthwhile for companies?
Yes, as a private leasing customer you pay only for what you use – and there are other benefits too:
Protect your liquidity
No marketing risk
Insurance: if your vehicle is stolen or written off and you are leasing from BMW Financial Services , then the insurance will cover the difference between the vehicle’s book value (redemption value ) and market value (replacement value ).
Tax benefits: VAT is paid only on your leasing instalments and any special lease payments you have to make, but not on the whole vehicle price.
Leasing also means you can always drive the latest vehicle.Why do I have to undergo a credit check?
Credit checks are normal banking practice and are commonplace when applying for loans and leases.
By checking your credit rating , BMW Financial Services is fulfilling its duty of diligence and protecting customers against over-indebtedness. All that is required for the identity check is a copy of your identity document.Wouldn’t I be advised to take a loan?
No. First of all, BMW Financial Services offers you extremely good rates. Secondly, with loan agreements like BMW Select you can give back the vehicle to BMW Financial Services once the contract has come to an end, something you will not be able to do if you go through your own bank.
Comparisons have shown that BMW Financial Services customers really do enjoy better value than they would from conventional bank financing. And another thing: you will enjoy the convenience of talking to just one person about your vehicle and your Financial Services .What do monthly instalments depend on?
With a conventional loan, your monthly instalments depend on your down payment , the term of the contract, and the effective annual interest rate. If you choose a BMW Select loan, then the final instalment you have agreed on will also affect your monthly outlay. Leasing instalments are determined by the prepayment, deposit , term of agreement, and mileage , as well as the residual value .
Isn’t a lease prepayment money thrown?
No, your prepayment reduces your monthly instalments. For many lease customers this one-off payment is the right way of keeping their monthly outlay as low as possible over the term of the lease.
What are the options open to me?
There are three possibilities open to you as a BMW Select customer at the end of the agreement:
Pay the final instalment and keep the vehicle
Continue to finance the vehicle by means of comfortable instalments
Give the vehicle back (buy-back guarantee).Difference between Select & target loan?
With a BMW target instalment loan, you have two options at the end of the agreement: pay the target instalment or select follow-on finance.
With BMW Select there is a third option: you can give the vehicle back to BMW Financial Services . As a BMW Select customer, buy-back is guaranteed at the dealership.What are the calculated residual value?
The calculated residual value depends on the term of the contract, the annual mileage , the level of vehicle usage, and the model you select.
A contract is a contract
At BMW Financial Services you always remain flexible in every respect. As a leasing customer, for instance, you can switch to a new vehicle during the term of the agreement, provided the economic factors add up.
As a loan customer (BMW Select, BMW target instalment loan or BMW instalment loan), you can shorten or lengthen the term of the agreement (change of instalment plan), or you can terminate the loan early, provided you give sufficient notice.What security does residualdebt provide?
Residual debt insurance is specially tailored to the financial product concerned, and is therefore comparatively very cheap. If the debtor falls ill, then it covers any instalments due until full recovery, or until the financing agreement has been paid up in full. Should the debtor die, then any outstanding instalments will be paid off by the residual debt insurance.
What contract terms for loans & leasing?
You can lease or finance any new BMW vehicle. The term of the agreement will depend on the model and the type of finance, and will range between 12 and 60 months. You can finance any used vehicle sold by your BMW dealership via MINI Financial Services .
What is the annual interest rate?
The effective annual interest rate when financing is calculated by combining the nominal interest on the loan with the administrative fees. It represents the actual expense (in percent) of the loan for a year.

Once you have chosen your vehicle and the way in which you want to finance it, you can conclude an agreement with your BMW Partner. All you will need for your credit check is an identity document with a photograph, and a current wage or salary slip (no older than three months). A decision will usually be reached about the credit rating of a private customer within half a day, after which you will be able to sign the agreement.

Monthly instalments for leasing and loan agreements are always due on the first of each month.

What happens at end of agreement?
