330d xDrive M Sport Touring Lease Deals

[sharepointalex]

Well after a day of getting quotes for personal lease - the cheapest I can get it for is £529 inc VAT on 3+35 payment plan inclusive of all my options and full maintenance. Have attempted to haggle that price down too to sub £500 if possible.

What do you guys think? is this decent?

Am still waiting for bmw lease to come back to me but don't expect them to be this competitive!

[drmark]

Must haves for me are:

Pro Nav
Heated seats
Memory driver's seat if you share with wife / partner
Pack that includes big brakes and 19 wheels
Adaptive suspension

Oh, and wait for the facelift or beat them down extra hard.

Nice to have:

Pano roof lifts interior
Foldable mirrors if you park in tight spots
Merino leather (makes huge difference but at a very high price)



Great cars.

[sharepointalex]

Update - got various lease companies competing with one another with a target of ideally below £500 p/m. That would include full maintenance, all my options (£2.1k worth) and be on a 3+35 plan.

What other deals have people had please so I can see if these are any good?

Thanks - think i've got my ideal spec. Just can't decide on interior trim -

Do I go with standard hex trim with blue finisher (the car will be white) OR brushed aluminum with either pearl or high gloss black finisher?? Decisions decisions!

Cheers

I have just had a 335d M Sport for 4 4 day loan. Thought it was outstanding even in basic spec (no keyless entry is annoying though). Something of a bargain for £288 a month lease.

Nice - it'd have to be the 330d for me for the economy over the 335d. Where did you see it advertised at £288?

How many miles will you do? If the 335d M sport exists at £288pcm and best your getting a 330d is £500pcm that's nearly an extra 1,800 miles PCM you can drive in the 335d before the 330d has moved off the drive....

Have you contacted Tony (TRL) at Berry BMW Chiswick ? He might not do lease but he is quite aggressive with his PCPs.

Where is a link to this 335d deal?

The surround view and cameras on your front bumper are such a great safety feature no more blind junctions or if pulling out from parallel parking you can see perfectly in both directions. (Should be a standard fit on all cars IMHO)

Your car doesn't have surround view, though?

I have to say your list of 'must-haves' doesn't tally at all with mine. If I were spending £6k on options I'd go for pro nav, yes, but next on the list would be Merino leather because the standard stuff isn't a patch on the upgrade. Adaptive cruise control is most frustrating, I find; my girlfriend's Golf had it (1.4TSI SE, came as standard) so I have used it quite a bit and I don't really like the way it spots things and slows you down. And I say this as someone who uses cruise on my BMW all the time, even in 30 and 40 limits.

So perhaps don't just list all the things you wish you had on your car whenever someone asks about spec.

Fair point - I would be interested in seeing a link to this deal - it was mentioned but no link. You can bet that is £288 excluding the VAT tho and will be for smaller mileage.

I need 12k miles, maintenance and all my options and I bet that takes it up to near £500. Also what payment plan is that on? Could be on crazy upfront in order to reduce the monthlies. I would love to be proved wrong and get a 335d with my spec for sub £500.

Mine doesn't - and I didn't state it did. I've been in cars with it Merc and BMWs and would certainly spec it next time.


OP asked if there is anything missing from his spec... How longs a piece of string it's an open question and thankfully lots of people have responded. He can himself from that token sample judge what items are generally must haves or not/OTT.
One chap may think base spec is perfect the next chap needs the entire option list .... We know nothing of the OP his history what options he usually has had and what frustrates him/things he has seen and may like.

This is all he ever does, people ask genuine questions about the options which are 'must haves' and he just posts his fantasy shopping list of options so critical he hasn't bothered with them himself..

IMHO the two 'critical' options are Pro Nav (It's better than Business Nav, the whole console/instrument cluster was designed to have it) and Xenons. There are many other things that are wonderful to have but these are the only real must-haves.

I mean for goodness sake, Internet as a 'MUST HAVE' option? You only ever use it for taking photos to show mates you have Internet. For everything else its clunky, annoying and never used as long as you've got a smartphone in your pocket.

Fox - internet is a £50 option you'd be silly not to spec it.


When buying used you do realise you have to compromise.... God all you ever seem to do is lurch around complaining chill out

[sharepointalex]

Well the haggle continues - i'm quite enjoying playing lease companies off against BMW themselves! Cheapest least quote is £526 - BMW have offered £628 and chucked in GAP insurance, paint protection and some other crap.

However the BMW deal is for PCP not PCH with only a £1500 deposit.

I've said if they can get closer to £526 and chuck in memory seats amongst some other stuff then I will seriously consider it. A deposit that low on a PCP would actually work out much better for me and i'm not locked in like a lease and can change car if I want to.

What do you lot think?

[Wills2]

How many miles per year and the exact spec and term would be helpful.

Your first post was a bit daft in terms of essential options, but I saw it was a bank holiday afternoon so I simply assumed you'd been on the sauce?

Sorry here is all the info:

BMW 330d XDrive M Sport Touring

Heated Front Seats
Adaptive M Sport Suspension
M Sport Braking System
Memory Seats
Xenons

Lease deal is 36 months on a 3+35 at £546 p/m (added the memory seats) with a deposit of £1500

BMW have offered 48 months on a 3 initial payments - £628 p/m with a deposit of £1500 - i'm trying to negotiate this down to under £600 and ideally nearer the £500 mark. They are going to chuck in - Maintenance, GAP Insurance, Paint protection and something else that I can't remember!

If BMW can come down then I think personally that is a good deal - what do you think?

[Wills2]

I think the lease deal is not bad at all, PCP offer looks rich though, I got a 335d xdrive with 10k worth of extras for £650 a month.

With the 48 month deal you're almost buying the car (£31,644 in payments and deposit over the term) but I've no doubt that there will be a 10k balloon at the end to own.

£650 a month. For a diesel. Jeez..

[jcuthell]

Hi guys,

Very sorry for the late reply I have been really busy. Adam and a few others asked me where did I see £288 for the 335d MSport. It was at Central UK Vehichle leasing. Unfortunatley that have put it back up to £408 + vat but it had been £287.99 for about 2-3 weeks (hence why I booked the loan car). There might be a few available. This is the correspondance I had (e-mail addresses removed). 330d was about £5 cheaper from memory and 320d £234 a month.

Hi James,

We have the 335d on a ridiculously good deal!!
