My 535d Touring is getting a bit leggy now and I cant think of anything better to replace it than a Macan (which is too pricy and low mpg) also an A6 Avant 3.0 Quattro even on a good deal is pricier and may not be as fun to drive, similarly XF Sportbrake and any non AMG Merc .

A quick chat with a local dealer reveals a £57k new well specced car with 50 miles on it for £38k (inc a £2k cashback to make up for the huge 10.9% APR on PCP). Seems to be quite the no brainer!

I know the new model will be out in in April but that is quite a juicy discount. I'm not missing anything am I as it seems silly not to push the button?!

Depends on how long you plan on keeping it for and mileage - when you say f10 535d do you mean the saloon or f11 which is the estate to replace like for like? Have a look at the lease thread, a few 530d MSport saloon deals have been posted which work out at £8.3k over 2 years. Pretty sure that's less than PCP'ing a pre-reg will cost but obviously dependent on circumstances and how much value you assign to the toys and twin turbo lump.

Yes would be a newfangled F11 smile

Equivalent of £360 pm and then hand it back after 24 months for that 530d saloon - not bad! I have to have a 535 in touring though - sadly. Cheers

I'd be all over that!

Do you mind telling me what's dealer and what PCP deal they are offering?

If you work hard you may be able to halve the headline APR biggrin

Sorry for the bump but Ken - do you mind sharing the details of the deal PM if preferred. I suspect it was the same dealer I popped into and saw the new G30 out front (seen you in the SW threads!). I mainly would like to know the GFV on the PCP, the term and how that 2k contribution is handled in the numbers. Thanks!!

No probs mate - the deals are very open on the internet so wont p off my dealer unnecessarily... Just have a look for pre reg F10/F11 - spec varies a lot and can be £10k difference in price. Mine is absolutely loaded other than adaptive headlamps (that I loved on the E61) but no one is speccing these it seems. Shame as they are great for the A470!





The £2k subsidy for 10.9% APR is a bit of a joke as I see it. A friendly chat got it down to what you can get from a broker so didnt use my broker this time. You want to be paying as little interest as possible as that just chews up your payments and how much you dig into the capital cost of the car.

They were a nice bunch at Cardiff and once they know you are not uninformed they work with you - having other potential cars to hand helps a lot as they never want to lose a deal smile

The car is excellent and a staggering improvement over the E61 in every single way - and a bargain! Happy days smile Do it asap before the new one with zero discount pops out!

£10k down and you could be in one of these for between £360-£390pm (spec and deal dependent - we started at £460pmeek). Once I pay £5k off mine I'll switch to a 3.3% loan and clear it in 3 fully owning the car and not worrying about mileage as I do it.

That looks lovely and ready for some proper mile munching! I will have to have a gander and sit down with them. I'm guessing these pre-reg are the ones listed in the used car section of the website with usually MOA - there's all sorts like a 640d with 27k off new eek

For me the G30 seemed pretty massive inside yet not huge on the outside relative to F10. However, infotainment upgrade and fancy AC controls aside, it didn't seem that great considering everyone says it's a mini-7series and it makes the F10/11 look an absolute bargain. The proper 'wow' car for me was a new 750i Msport inside - that interior is quite special and you notice the quality difference in materials, quality and coverage of leather, real aluminium etc. It's just a shame it's so damn big and BMW will happily cut corners on the models lower down the range. That San Marino paint is up there with the Interlagos Blue and Le Mans Blue of years gone by too!

G30 looks a little 'Merc' to me - bit rounded in places. BMW's should be pointy/sporty!

I think this F11 will be epic when I get the RFT's off and will ride even better - but I dont think there is a spare wheel well for me to pop my E61 space saver spare in (this cost me £250)! Its driving me mad as having to search for a new 19" matching RFT if I ever get a puncture in the back of beyond is the stuff that holidays and business get ruined by! . soapboxfurious
