It appears that leasing an M135i with the above company is cheaper than leasing a 120d….!!

I need to make the man maths work and I think I'm getting there. Only downer is a standard stereo in the deals being offered. And no active suspension. But other than that, ideal!

You can option the cars however you like but you will generally pay for them in full over the course of the lease, that said under BMW select most options don't appear to change the guaranteed value at the end of the term so it's no different really.

[kazman]

Wow, that really is cheap.

Does a PCP still offer a balloon at the end, or is the car always returned at the end of the period?

What servicing costs would i (the consumer) be subject to over that period of time (assuming 10,000 miles / year for 2 years)?

[Smuler]

If adaptive suspension isn't available, in this deal, in my opinion from my test drive the standard suspension is very comfortable.
It's nothing like the M Sport suspension I'm used to in E46. Which I like, but some my passengers are not so keen

My test drive took in some backroads and lanes too.

Went into my local dealership yesterday to see if they'd match the 330d deal that was popular last week. They couldn't, but they have offered me a 6+23/10k deal on a 5 door M135i for just under £300 a month, no options apart from metallic paint. The auto gearbox apparently adds around £15 a month.

Seems like a decent deal? There's a certain appeal to dealing with a local BMW dealership rather than a website I've never previously heard of.

that sounds cheap,

I got in contact with my local main dealer and they said they didnt so leasing......

Cheapest I found was 3+23 at £329 or 1+23 at £357 with only met paint and through load.

[bmthnick1981]

Wow some impressive deals here

[Vladimir]

Negotiating on a new blue 5 door auto. The 335d has inconvenienced us therefore it's days are numbered...!

Stuck Winters on the 335d yesterday; 225/45 17"; would they fit on an m135i with the right wheels? If not then DOH!!!

[Accelebrate]

I'm getting a price in writing for an auto, possibly with heated seats, I think I could cope without navigation.

[Vladimir]

Estoril blue, 5 door sport auto with heated seats, comfort pack and a few other bits for 18% off list in build for just before the New Year - that's the dealer's opening offer. Now that is rather tempting….

Are you comparing a 120d with Xenons and Leather to a M135i?

If not, then even cheaper considering you'd have to add those as options to the 4 cylinder car

Man maths, at its finest.

[juniorbox]

6+23, 3dr Metallic no other options, 10K PA, £273 pm from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.

[vescaegg]

I really really am struggling to justify NOT getting in on this. That is stupidly cheap.

Are these deals just a hand it back at the end of the term deal and that's that?

And I take it you have to get it serviced at a main dealer as part of the deal?

[JuanGandini]

Yep just a hand it back scenario and I think you're right re: servicing although the first service is after 30000 miles so might not happen in 24 months anyway.

[vescaegg]

30,000 to first service?! Surely not.

[E30M3SE]

Condition Based Servicing, so depends on the way it's used. Doubt you'll see 30K before it needs an Oil Service.

[Rob747]

Mine is showing 19000 miles to first service and it's a day old.

I've always serviced my cars every 6000 miles and this one will be no different, condition based or not.

Why bother if the car doesn't even 'need' one?

Yep. Coz it's not like Beamer have spent any cash on making sure these things are correct.

[Hackney]

I'm about to hit "go" on a 6+23 deal for an M135i

Alpine White; Auto; active suspension; Harman Kardon; Parking sensors; Sun pack
for £350

This is subject to a test drive tomorrow - nearly didn't happen as the car was sold yesterday but then the potential owner didn't pass the financial checks so it won't be going anywhere. Good for me as it's been a bugger trying to actually drive one.
