If I finance through BMWFS, how long is the rate lock good for?

E46 FAQ by Kris Linqusit
The rate lock is good for 60 days from the expiration date of the prevailing rate bulletin that is in effect at the time of the approval. What does that mean? Most rate bulletins are normally in effect for 60 days. So if you get approved early when the rate bulletin is released, you could have your rate locked for as much as 120 days. An example: A 6.5% rate bulletin is released on April 1 and lasts through May 31 (expiration date).

No one can give an honest answer to this question because no one can predict whether rates will go up, go down, or remain the same. Keep in mind that, with most mortgage programs, it costs money to lock a rate. The longer the lock period, the higher the cost. This question is further complicated by the fact that a guess that the rates will increase is not enough to justify the cost of locking. Your guess must also include how much the rate will increase.
