It Arrives Tuesday

[WombleR]

My M3 E92 is ready for collection on Tuesday! :-)

Now how quikly can I cover those running in miles

[fivesixseven8]

Congrats!

What spec and mind if I ask what you got it for?

[911C2S]

I'm interested to know what you paid too......

[krallicious]

I managed 10 days I think until the initial service. It is painful with only 5500 rpm to play with but it is still rapid enough.

Enjoy

It's got dct,edc,bluetooth,comfort mirrors, front park sensors and seat heating etc.. all the main toys on the whole.

I got a good deal with the dealer but not sure if the first running in service is free, whats peoples experience of this?

[krallicious]

Before the deposit for the car was paid, I insisted that the cost of the running in service was met by the dealer as BMW had just changed their view about offering the running in service for free.

It didn't stop the service department asking for payment when I collected the car but I refered them to the salesman and was not charged.

IMHO, after spending the best part of 60k on a new car, why the hell should you be charged X amount for an oil change after 1200miles?

I was curious as I've seen a few mentions of expecting to pick these up, new, for around £50k even with options.

Did you get the £2500 worth of free options as per the current offer too?

I got the £2.5K of added extras

[fivesixseven8]

Still no prices guys! Come on, how much did you haggle off?!

[DjSki]

Why buy one new? A year old you can save £20k....

Suppose £20k is not relevant to some though eh?

[paoloh]

Well if he accepts that offer then he only has himself to blame. Similar cars are £40k+ on bmw.co.uk, why does he not refer them to that?

Insurance has a legal obligation to put you back in the position you started, £34k does not meet that obligation.

If only £20k didn't matter! lol!

I'm not sure where to find these year old cars with a £20k saving though, if they are selling for around the £50k mark, even with options. Then £40k (which most seem to be priced at) is either a bit strong or the cars hold their money exceptionally well.

Admitted £20k is too strong, more like £15k. Dick Lovett has an 08 for £36k.

What happened to the Cerbera????

Than he needed GAP insurance to get back to invoice, thats my way of insuring full payback.
I haggled off £9800.00- £2500.00 free upgrades, still a lot off.

That car would never have been over £50k new. A DCT'd and EDC'd 4 door is what I want though and for the price of a used one you may as well buy new and get the spec/colour you want.
