X3 2.0d M Sport Lease / PCP

[Boggy]

Good afternoon,

My wife has changed her mind yet again and will be looking to lease or PCP a BMW X3 2.0d, we'd be looking at the M Sport trim level (Last 2 BMW's have been M Sports).

I've had a look but thus far I've been unable to locate any keen deals on the X3 ?

Thanks

Wife would rather a manual so the 2.0d is the only model other than the 1.8

Has she tried the modern auto?

She hasn't and if I'm honest neither have I however it's looking like we will have to get used to them as BMW seem heel bent on only selling cars with auto boxes

It's what the public wants, the auto is so good with no negatives that only 1 in every 25 X3's are manual (and to be honest the manual box isn't that great)

Our 120d drives lovely, it's no performance car as such however I don't have any complaints regarding gear changes

Just bought a 3 year old X3 m sport with loads of extras. I seriously don't understand why people go PCP or lease using the excuse you save money.

Not many decent deals on X3's though as looked at loads of different offers. All of them seem to hemourage money.

Yup I'm seriously looking at perhaps leasing one

If you're financing the car (new or used) then your monthly payment will often be lower on the new car - and if you only intend to keep it for say 3 years anyway - your total outlay may be lower on a new one.

If paying cash, the above obviously doesn't apply.

Agree, we always tend to either PCP or lease our main car for this reason

We have a manual f20 116d and E90 320d manual, which as you say are fine, but it doesn't work well with the F25 drivetrain.

The days of reduced flexibility, performance and economy with an Auto have been firmly vanished with the 8 speed ZF automatic gearbox

And in a PCP / lease generally it won't cost you a. Penny as the residual reflects

I'll have a look at both however I'm not sure we are going to get much of a deal

Coast to coast are showing about 2.5k off a 2.0d x3 the issue will be how long you have to wait.

I got just under £6k off my 2015 x3 3.0d but waited best part of 10 months

Thanks,

Think we are going to PCP as the lease deals don't look great, it's really down to how much deposit as well as PCM payment.
You would think BMW would start building more and doing deals if they can sell them ?

I think it is a case they are selling as many as they can build.

Rates are definitely coming down on the X3:

6.2% Fixed compared to 5.9% fixed on the other models
