quite a few deals at 3+11 are dealers sat with loads of cars in stock ?

[zedstar]

I thought this too, all the same price and all convertibles. Strange thing is though that none of the offers are from dealers, the good deals of the past with M5's etc were advertised direct by loads of dealers - not sure why its not the case now...

[HoHoHo]

Wow, two points....

12 months and you've got to give it back just when you're really enjoying it

That's a huge sum of money for an M3, don't forget they're ex-VAT so a grand a month............deep pockets anyone?

[Googie]

Also seem limited to business users only - even if Vat recoverable still expensive !

[jonah35]

3 grand down and a grand a month? Hand it back in 12 months?

Not for me!

Hopefully its the first signs of stress in their sales order pipeline and it leads to better offers in the near future

Have not seen a single M3 or M4 on the road.
My local BMW dealer has an M3 demo, which they have not sold.
Anecdotal I know, but not what BMW would want, plus it got a damn good kicking on the EVO car of the year test.

And it will face internal competition from the M2, smaller footprint, lighter, cheaper, potentially better £ and % residuals.
So. How much will a 2 year old manual M4 be worth ?

[ic0n]

So £1188.60 per month inc VAT for 12 months?

When you put it like that it sounds insane I guess.

[irish boy]

Yeah that's over 15k for 12 months rental.

You'd be better putting a big deposit on a very late e92 and running it for a year, selling and paying it off.

Or buy the best e46 you can find cash.

Neither are new cars tho which someone signing to these agreements wants.

[Helicopter123]

Hold your nerve, better deals are coming.

I understand early sales are some way behind expectations...

[loose cannon]

I sat behind an xtrac 420d today I new they were wide but fap me its huge made my e46 look like a mini 1000 lol
So I'm guessing people are put off simply with the fact that it's limo size now ? Perhaps I'm wrong though
Or is it just the fact people want audi today and nothing else will do ?

[smashy]

I shall get flamed ..but here we go.......the 2 series looks just as good maybe edges it ,and is the right size!!!

M3/4 really needs an estate/touring to compete like for like with their peers.

Also, can't help thinking all eyes are on the new C63 and the M3/4 already feels a bit, well, last year.

Maybe the deals will help?

[moffat]

Not sure why people go lease on a new model, just wait 12-24 months and the cost will be much lower.

It was the same on the C63 - £1k+ per month and then £600 per month when I got mine.

I plan to lease a new M3 or C63S in 2-3 years time when the price is lower and they're not 'must have'.

I really don't see anyone winning on this deal except BMW. They get a low mileage car back in a years time to retail through their own network, which some billy had already paid the build cost of for a years rental. Who buys these deals?
