Has anyone else switched their deal in this manner? Any suggestions?
I've switched before a few years back, but within the same month (went from purchase to lease also). I don't see why you wouldn't get the benefit of the December rates. If they ran your credit in December, you're locked in for 60 days regardless if you're leasing or financing. It's the same credit application. Also, at the end of the day the dealer is selling the car for the same price - whether it's to you or to BMW FS which essentially buys the car from the dealer and leases it to you.
