Lease, finance,
or buy your BMW
A smart customer’s guide in Louisiana and in Baton Rouge.
Should I lease, finance, or buy a BMW in Louisiana and in Baton Rouge?
Lease if you want a newer BMW on a clock. Finance if you want the title and no mileage cap. Factory warranty, included maintenance, and Louisiana tax change the math. Protection products are optional.
Your lease comes with its maintenance covered
Every new BMW comes with BMW Ultimate Care, which covers scheduled maintenance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, at any authorized BMW center. A typical 3-year lease fits inside that window, so your routine service is taken care of for the whole lease. If you buy and plan to keep your BMW longer, ask us about BMW Ultimate Care+ to extend your maintenance coverage.

FAQ
Should I lease, finance, or buy a BMW in Louisiana and in Baton Rouge?
Lease if you want a newer BMW every few years on a set number of miles. Finance if you want to own it, drive as much as you like, and keep it past the factory warranty. Consumer Reports says buying usually wins if you will keep the car six years or more.
