Best loan rates?
My M2 is on the boat heading to Florida and I'm now shopping around for the best rates. One credit union for which I am eligible was offering 2.99% for 60 months. That's decent, but is there anything better out there? When I bought my M240i BMW did 0.99% for 72 months! I'm guessing that promotion is over.

I found a credit union that will do 2.25% with 800+ credit score. Most are 2.9-3.5 for 60/72 term right now.

My credit union (https://cfcu.org) will do 2.74% for up to 60 months with auto-pay via their checking accounts.

It's a little complicated. The BMW Finance website lists 2.89% for 2019 M Models, except the 2019 M2. It shows only the 2018 M2 as 2.89%. I filled out an application online and that application said 2.89% for a 2019 M2 Comp. It was approved. When I showed up to the dealer to sign the paperwork, the finance manager told me that it was coming back at 3.89%. I had a copy of my application and confirmation from the general sales manager that I was approved for 2.89% so that's the rate they gave me. So, I guess it's a bit of your mileage may vary, but it worked for me.

2.89 is the buy rate for BMW right now, you might be able to get lower with a credit union but rates have finally started going back up.

I financed for 36 months at 1.89% with Andrews Federal Credit Union. Advertised is 2.14 and they give a .25% discount with auto pay.
.25 reduction applies to longer terms too. |

Yeah 2.89 is very good for CA.. I did see 2.89 through BMWFS for the M2C in some markets in December (Norcal, some areas of Socal) but the dealer I ordered from didn't offer that, they had something like 4.55.

I'm almost 100% sure the BMW FS rates are nationalized but that said it might be really hard to get a dealer to agree to 2.89 if all the competing banks and credit unions in the area have high rates.
You should absolutely shop around and see what you get approved for at other banks and credit unions, if it's all within 2 weeks it only counts as one hard credit pull and dealers will usually match lower rates of other banks if you get approved. Dealers mark up multiple percent on people that's a huge profit center for them, don't fall for it. |

I was pre-approved with my credit union for 2.49% (36 months) and 2.74% (48 months) and also pre-approved with BMW Financing for 2.89% (60 months). I could not find any BMW dealers in Southern California that would match my credit union rate or the BMW Financing rate from the out of state dealer. All they would say is that the rate must be region specific and they could not match the rate which seems bogus if the BMW Financing rates are national.
I ended up financing with BMW since it seemed a tad quicker to complete the out of state purchase and I also plan to pay off my loan by the end of this year or 2020 so the difference in interest rates will be negligible. |
