Hi guys,

I managed to spec the car how I'd like it.

36k car after 8k discount.

3000 deposit and £400 month on PCP 10k miles a year.

I think it is a 48 month deal. Is the PCP quote fair ? Should I push harder ?

I only drive 10-15k miles a year. Should I consider the 340 ?

Thanks

Daniel

I know this post has only just gone up but interested to hear pcp prices, even if it is for a different model.

Eg BMW 520d price 34k, 5k deposit and £350 pm, 48 month deal etc.

It is worth knowing what the excess mileage charges are on the car if you plan to hand back after 4 years. You state a 10k miles pcp but travel up to 15k per year so could have 20k worth of charges over the 4 years worst case.

For only 10-15k miles a year I would certainly consider the 340i over the 335d for sure.

Even as someone who rates the 335d very highly, I think you have to try the 340i as well, given how close they are in price and performance. Preferably take both for an extended test drive.

Hi, it sounds like a fair quote... I am looking for 340i at the moment, primarily due to the discounts being good. Could I ask who your dealer is ?

I have an F31 335d and my personal view is buy a 340i unless you want or need X-Drive. On the mileage you're doing the diesel makes no sense and in my experience the 335d isn't actually that economical anyway (over 27k miles mine is about 24% down on the claimed combined figure whereas the E92 335i which preceded it was only 10% off). In practical terms I suspect a 340i would only be about 5mpg worse than a 335d and the cost of that is frankly peanuts compared to items like depreciation....

On an X3 it's £0.0776 iirc this is std BMW excess mileage so the cost if you hand the car back at the end of 4 years and put 20k excess on it then the excess charge is £1552, however if you switch into another BMW more often than not it's waived or if you buy the car then it's not charged either.

The cost of the extra 5k pa could be about £17 per month so £815 over the life of the contract fixed versus a potential excess charge of £1500 if you hand the car back at year 4.

Not personally, but a riding mate definitely has and his mileage was 90k on a 40k deal when he switched X5s.

Hi,

Can anyone else comment on the PCP figure ? I will test both engines and eventually decide which car I want.

Even if you have a 5 series or other model feel free to quote the deal you have.

My mind isn't set on the 3 series. I'm also interested in the 5, but unfortunately can only stretch the 525d, which appears just to be a tuned 520d.

I'm considering being silly and going for a coupe with a big engine. Problem is I have a German shepherd and the only other Car we have is a 530d salon which isn't ideal.

So the option is practical and fast - 335d touring or 340.
Practical and better build quality 525d touring.
Impractical but fast and a good laugh - 2 series coupe or 4 series coupe with 3 l engine.

Decision is incredibly hard.

They won't care because the price they offer for the trade in will be adjusted for the mileage. The only time they worry about it is if you're returning the car and not buying another.

This applies to all main dealers with an over mileage car on a PCP deal.

Hi chaps,

Anyone aware of any decent PCP deals on the F31 3 Series Touring models?

I'm looking at the 335d xDrive M Sport and so far have been offered 3.9% APR ~4K finance discount and additional ~2k dealer discount.

Thanks.

Mate, you can get a stonking 535d for under £40k by now. If you can get 20% down you should be able to get it under £400 with £18k left at the end - OR BETTER! Just make sure it doesn't have godawful rigid RFTs as they do it NO favours frown

To be honest, I'm only really interested in a 3 Series Touring given the size and agility. Not really keen on something as large as a 5.

Anyone know of any decent deals the BMW Dealerships are offering on 3 Series Tourings?

I recently picked up a pre-reg 340i, 2 months old, very decent spec with 60 miles on the clock. Overall its cost me 31k as I went with the dealer finance to get the contribution and a stronger PX value, however I'm just about to settle after waiting for several weeks for BMW Finance to get their sh!t together

As others have said the runflats are horrendous and ruin the ride when pushing on, consumption is pretty good, after a month of ownership I'm seeing just shy of 30mpg based on 50% inner city and 50% rural roads (c350 miles per tank, just about double what my M5 would do on the same journeys / driving style)

Last time I looked there were still several autumn 2016 registered cars available for sale, I'm sure now would be a very good time to strike a deal as the 17 plates are looming.

Just got a quote for a new 540i Msport X-drive saloon with Technology pack and sun protection glass for delivery in April. Everything else as standard.

On the road price £52,150. Dealer discount is £4898.00 so cash price is £47,252. If I go PCP maximum allowed deposit is £16300.80, BMW deposit contribution of £2600.00. Total deposit of £18900.80. 3.9% APR, 8,000 miles a year, 36 mths at £236.89 a month with a final payment of £23,004.89.

Thoughts?

£1 a mile that would cost over the 3 years (plus fuel, maintenance, insurance on top), sounds a pretty poor deal!

Hmmm, I thought it was okay. Cost's next to nothing to finance. If I bought outright I'd be saving £600/£700.
