Hello TectiteE
Since you are leasing your car it might not be wise to do the mod's you propose, especially dropping the car & the nos. The changes would invalidate your warranty and on top of that you would have to get the car back to original spec when you return it at the end of your lease.
Look into the matter further before you proceed.

$720 seems high...I got an E500 with all the options in my signature for 688 a month @ Global leasing in brroklyn. I picked it up at Ray Catena in Brooklyn, leased through MB credit.

Are you getting a wet or dry kit? If there is no kit out there I'm sure you can retrofit with a basic kit. You can probably call NX or TNT for their kits.

More Info?
Hey guys. I'm new here, currently in the market for E320.
Regarding the lease terms, you guys left out some info that is critical to compare deals: how much did you pay up front to start? Without this, you can't really compare (e.g., I could put $40,000 down and pay about $50/mo., right?).
Using my lease calculator on TectiteE's deal assuming no downpayment and no tax, he would have paid about $700 over invoice for the car (MSRP would be $56,370 w/ the options described, invoice would be $53075). That assumes the $721 monthly payment he stated does not include any tax.
If he was in California, and the $721 did include tax, then he paying 8.25% added to each monthly payment, then he would have paid $1000 below invoice to end up at that payment.
These examples assume a 61% residual and a .0025 money factor.
I would like to hear what others are paying before I take the plunge. I see that Carsdirect the E320 at $250 below invoice in SoCal, so let me know if dealers are beating that. (Someone posted in another thread that 2 dealers are at $2000 below invoice. WOW. Hope that's true.)

BTW picked my car up yesterday and i'm loving it. my dealer even lowered the airmatic settings lower for me. they dropped it as low as possible without having to get a realignment. its not low enough for my taste, so bringing it back sometime next week to lower it even more. pics to come!

721 did include everything gap and tax i pay nothing more. this was based on a .0025 money factor and a 65% residual.
BRAV- .0025 is tier 1 pricing

65% residual for a 15,000 mile lease for 39 months? That's shocking.
The special a dealer told me about last week had the residual at 66% for 10,000 miles/39months, so only a 1% difference for 15,000 would be strange. I thought it was 61%. (FYI, 2004 BMW 530i is .62 for 15k mi/36 months).
Your location is NJ. Is it true that auto leases aren't taxed in NJ? If so, then your sale price could be $1000 below sticker.

How much did they lower it? I am having same thing done. Looking to get 30mm or about 1.25" lower.
Also, I assume you went through MB credit and not Chase, or US Bank? Thanks

Also do you have 4matic? I thought you alluded to it in an earlier post. Is 4matic the equivalent of a sport suspension? If not, how do you get order a sport suspension in an E320?

Please post pictures
Brav, TectiteE,
Looks like one of you already picked up your E and one's picking up tomorrow. Please post lots of pictures. My car is still 3 weeks away from delivery, but would love to see some pics in the mean time!
