Got an M240i Quote - opinions?

[Joratk]

Called into my local BMW garage for a quote on a used M235i, but was persuaded to look toward an M240i which I happily obliged.

The quote was

£5k deposit (+£1500 from BMW) so total £6500
£436 p/m
48 months PCP
15k miles p/a
£13,386 balloon

The list price after options was around £39,700.

What's your opinions on this quote? Could I do better? Should I go lease? Should I stick to my original plan and go for an M235i?

[Joratk]

Cash price inc/VAT was £36,995.00 before options
APR was 3.9%.

£389 would be more what I was looking toward... I was hoping to get car + insurance for £500 p/m all in

Specced one up on Coast2Coast with the same options plus a couple extra and it came to £32,350, over £7k better than what my dealer offered...

I'd be going with the Coast2Coast deal mate! Or at least print it off/email it to your dealer salesman and see if he can match it.

Think that's what I will be doing. Sent away through Coast2Coast for a quote from one of their dealers, so I'll see what they get back to me with.

I've been offered a new M240i now for £3k deposit, £390 p/m with 12k miles p/a.

However, also been offered a '14 M235i (test drove it today) with 20k miles on the clock for £3k deposit and £360 p/m with 12k miles p/a.

If I could get the M235i down to £350 then I think I would go with it...

Opinions?

Spec I went for was:


Heated front seats
Adaptive M Sports suspension
BMW advanced loudspeaker system
Metallic - Black sapphire
Dakota leather - Black
High gloss black interior trim with oxide silver finish
Media pack - Professional - 2 Series/M2
Smokers pack - 2 Series
Driver comfort pack - 2 Series M235i/M240i

List came in just under 40k, so not overly extensive but not really light on options either...

I really want one now, especially after the test drive, I just want to get the best deal.

Under £380 p/m would be excellent. I'm going to give TRL a ring and see what they can do. It's getting to the stage where I'm going to have to make a decision and just bite the bullet! I just feel like there's sometimes tricks that get the monthly down that I'm simply unaware of. How do you guys feel about deliberately speccing less miles? Will it come back to bite me?
