Discounts on new 3 series LCi?
Discussion
Folks what's the opinion on what discounts will be available on the LCi 3 series? The previous model had hefity discounts of about £8500 on the higher end models. I'd be looking at a 340i tourer, do you think there's a chance these discounts will still be available?
If not it'll make buying a second hand C63 AMG an easier decision!

Yep, I've just managed a 21% discount on my LCI order through a main dealer. The two dealers that I spoke to before I placed my order said that they were not differentiating between old and new.If not it'll make buying a second hand C63 AMG an easier decision!
Remarkably, my choice came down to two cars as well, a new BMW or a used C63!

Thanks fellas!
What made you go BMW in the end?!
The wife! She really wasn't into it at all on so many levels but her overriding argument was why buy a used car when you could buy a new one which logically is hard to disagree with. However, and no matter how much I banged on about the V8 lump, she wouldn't have it so I had to let the idea go. In truth, I would have had to make a few compromises to have the C63 which wouldn't have lasted beyond a year so in the end the BMW was probably the more sensible choice if not as exciting as the roaring, bellwoing monster that I could have had!What made you go BMW in the end?!

I had a 335i before and loved it, maybe a 340i will make most sense?!
Only you can decide old boy! I must admit though that once you managed to look beyond the stupidness that lay under the bonnet of the C63, the interior was looking a bit dated. Still a nice place to sit but I really didn't like the small sat nav screen and just knew it would start to annoy me eventually. The other thing was the all in one tailgate. We have a Spaniel and the ability to open up just the tailgate window to give her a tickle under her chops is a winner for us and not having that would have been a royal pain in the hoop.Choices choices!

How hard was it to get this level of discount ? I am thinking on a 4 series and can't get close to this figure
Not that difficult really, I was just upfront with what I wanted and knowing what I could get elsewhere. I also saw them just before the quarter end so that may have helped as well. That said, I suspect the discounts available on a 4 rather than a 3 may not be as competitive because of demand and the fact that the 3 is a core model. For example, demand for X3s are high and there are virtually no discounts available. I'm not sure you'd ever get to a 21% discount on a 4 to be honest, happy to be proved wrong of course!£7k off a 435d M sport xdrive: http://www.coast2coastcars.co.uk/car-quote/?manufa...

Yes - seen these, but wonder if same discounts can be had on 4 series as 3 series.About the same here: https://broadspeed.com/CarView/BMW/4-Series/37675/...
On the 435i Gran Coupe spec - its gets upto a list price of c£46.5k with Msport pack etc - with these sites discounts of £6,750 can be had.
This is under 15% - so wondering if the 21% discounts can be had? This would be closer to £10k....which would results in an order:-)
Anyone any info - if so please email me or share.
