Seems like a good deal, what's the actual list price?

You'll get a better interest rate and GFV on a new order than you will on a used car so you'll probably find your discounted new car is cheaper.

Hi guys
Need some advice if possible.
I can get a brand new M4 with DCT, 19" black wheels, parking package, headup display, carbon interior, comfort access and 50k service included a touch over 54k.
I've never spent so much on a car, but I've driven it and it is awesome. Do you think it is a good deal or should I just buy a second hand one when they come down a bit.
Thanks
If that is the total spec that is about 63k list so roughly 14% off, doesn't sound a bad deal.

Anyone know of any good deals on a new or pre reg/demo M3 please?

I've contacted all the ones on the PH ads, and no one has bothered to reply... frown

Try phoning them, works wonders!

Emailing dealers is pointless, especially at new reg time. Best deals are done face to face or at least an initial phone call to confirm you're a serious buyer and not a tyre kicker (or run of the mill nutter).

Yes, visiting phoning and emailing, all have had a poor response, anyhow one has eventually replied who seems like he might play ball, so let's see..

Well, BMW have released their Q2 deals and there's no deposit contributions, although they've reduced their finance rate to 4.9%

There is a 'centre deposit contribution' of £1,160.68 and 4.9% APR showing as of now.

I'm seriously considering an M4 but that's not persuading me to buy new.

My current plan is to wait longer for a higher contribution/ better rate, keep talking to the dealers about their current pre-reg stock and keep an eye on the nearly new models.

Ok it's looking like there's at least £10K on unreg new stock, so pretty good I hope!

Does anyone know if Q2 for BMW UK runs from Apr - JuL? The reason I ask is there has been chatter on this forum and Bimmerpost of expectations of deals in Q2. I wonder if BMW UK set the deal at the outset of the quarter i.e. yesterday we see a contribution of ca £1200 and 4.9% finance, and that's it for the quarter or if they might further revise the deal during the quarter?

Sounds like there are some competitive prices out there if you're prepared to push for a deal; anyone had a PCP quote that reflects the discounted price and if so what are the approximate monthly repayments?

That is correct from the sales guy I spoke to yesterday.

You'd think they'd be a bit more generous taking into account the 20%+ exchange rate advantage!

BMW hedge their fx rates years in advance. It will be years before we see any advantage from the depreciation of the Euro.

Not correct. Bmw operate natural hedges whereby their factories loosely align to supply in their markets.

Nice one revtime. Are you able to share more detail - does your deal give you the option to purchase the car, and if so the APR?

I spoke to Oracle Finance yesterday - very helpful guy. £64k spec with £14k down and 36 months of £855. GFV is £28k. APR is 7.9%. Given BMW UK are offering 4.9% on new cars currently, Oracle's advantage would be to finance nearly new dealer sourced cars where BMW's APR is 10.9%.

At those kind of rates and with discounts of 10-15% to be had on new cars you'd probably be better off buying new at 4.9% rather than nearly new at 7.9% - there'd hardly be any savings to be made on the monthly repayment. Add to that you'd get the exact spec you want, more warranty left, less servicing, more tyre life, etc. I know which route I'd take.

To be fair, I don' think you'd get 10-15% on a new order. The only way I've heard of that level of discount is on a car already in stock at a dealer(or military discount), so might not necessarily be the exact spec you want.
Peter Vardy were doing 7k off a £61k stock car last week...end of month,end of quarter, sitting in the showroom etc so I'm sure there was more to be had...all black on black with carbon trim...very stealth, but no HUD on the spec...so it would've been a no-no for me right away regardless of the deal on offer. Still went for a spin mind you, in their demo.
