225 · 08-10-2018, 02:10 PM

Soul_Glo · 08-10-2018, 02:25 PM

Madness!

speedski · 08-10-2018, 02:43 PM

Yes got to be surely... otherwise I'd be wanting a free service pack and a years supply of Msport lube.

more than a bloody m3! but people do actually pay this kind of money, the deals we get a fantastic, but we are a few. when I was in Sytner I had on 2 occasions, " how much do you pay on your 340?" followed by "Oh did you put a big deposit in?" depends if you call 1k big mate

You forgot we are passionate, enthusiastic and (sometimes) knowledgable about our cars and spend months looking at all available models, options, colours etc.

We then spend almost as long looking for and negotiating the best deal.

The vast majority of people have a vague idea of what they want and what they can afford. Someone will walk into the showroom, say that's a nice colour, I can afford 500 a month. It's a deal.

Totally agree.

Looking at some dealerships for the price of my 340i on 20k a year the best I "could" get is a 420d convertible, 140i or X2

At 1.9% APR I reckon it's PCP - silly money for a 430d though!

I'm paying less for my 440i GC from Park Lane than Sycamore Peterborough quoted me for a 140i!!! And that was after I told Sycamore I'd done loads of research and give me your best price to make me sign today.

There doesn't seem to be anything uniform from BMWFS out there....

330XDave · 08-10-2018, 05:27 PM

To be fair if this is HP then surely it is quite a good price, less than £34k total cost. What are we talking, £45k list price with the extras and individual bits (probably more). That's a 25%+ saving on list price.

This is assuming it's HP which if it isn't then yes it's bloody expensive!

Hi,

What kind of deposit on the £550 pcm M3s? When I was looking a few months ago couldn’t find anything with spec that I wanted and they were c£700 pcm

Thanks

Ah but you get to pay another £14900 after 4 years to keep it!

Now I know your average punter likely doesn't know about what actual discounts can be had but I got this as a flyer email trying to entice me to buy!

So it's definitely a PCP not a HP? Looked on their website where I can see the actual price of the car is just shy of £47k but nothing else.

Currently bmw pcp Apr rate is 1.9 for a 4 series. It shows you would be paying 48k If you bought it outright at 4 years old!

teaston · 08-10-2018, 06:58 PM

Deposit of just £10,291!

rich100 · 08-11-2018, 01:56 AM

So there's no dealer or manufacturer support in there...And coupled with the fact that this is the out going model

Jeez where do I sign ???

rich100 · 08-11-2018, 02:01 AM

Sorry to be a pain but could you ask if they Have by any chance got a 440I?

I'm in the market for one and can put 20k down, I'm happy to pay Â£550 a month. If I take it over 48 months I'm sure I will have saved up the 18k balloon payment.

I was thinking of asking TRL but I didn't think he'd be able to get close to this really so didn't want to waste his time.
