M235i - options, discounts, finance rates & lease deals

[SRM355]

Anybody ordered an M235i?

New discussion thread to see what options people are odering, lead times, best % discounts off list, best APR finance rates through the BMW network and if any lease deals available. Been some cracking deals on the M135i, interesting to see what deals become available on the M235i......

I have put a deposit down today on an M235i manual. Managed to get just over 9% discount and 5 years free servicing

Spoke to my local BMW business manager, who informs me that at launch there will be no extra support from BMW. However he did say that like all BMW models eventually they do put money behind the cars, so we should see some crazy deals just like on the M135i but may have to wait six months to get them. Well done on getting 9% off though

I'm going to wait for the Racing!

(If they release it)

Haven't heard of anything...got my ear to the ground for any whispers. The first really outstanding offer to come out, like we saw with the M135I and M5 last year, gets my cash.

Snap. More annoying is the guy from dealership who drives their demonstrator past me everyday as I walk to sandwich shop....doesn't help the whole "not that bothered about one" thing.

Still showing at £500+ on a 3+35 with 10k miles for personal lease deals.

There's certainly discounts available on the M235i.

Pick mine up 1st September

Almost 70 cars on the BMW approved used website.

Seem to be a number with decent specifications, so am tempted to buy a used one if the discount is bigger enough than a new one....

[k99]

Why not, bought mine new but now there is now a good selection of used so you could get your ideal spec at a good price. There's an approx 3 months waiting list from order so why not. It's a great car, brilliant blend of performance, driving enjoyment & practicality without being too hard core for everyday use.

Yes...me too. But was looking to do PCP type deal - are these available at similar APR to brand new if buying nearly new?

Yes, I was offered a cracking deal on a pre-reg car. Was end Q2 though. APR was 2.9% when I did the maths.

Might keep my eyes on the immediate delivery stock in this case...

I'm thinking about one of these for my next car. Are there any good deals to be had?

[chowiekid]

I managed to pick up a used -1000 miler for just over 31k last month with a shed load of extras
Just booked it in for the performance exhaust upgrade. There a bit of a rip of brand new

Currently running a 135i. Got into a conversation with Cooper BMW about chucking it in for a M235i.

Sales chap said there are excellent deals at the moment for new ones. Am going for a test drive on monday, and will see what he can do for me deal-wise.

Will report back.

Would be v interested to hear your feedback. would love to own one as a replacement for my much missed 1M. I realise not the same car in many ways, but the M235i seems to tick many boxes!
