I know this doesn't answer your question, but personally I wouldn't put £7k of my own money in as a deposit on a PCP deal. £2-3k max. It's just dead capital, unless of course you intend to pay the GFV and keep the car at the end of the 3 years.

Perhaps more helpfully... Jezza's review (in yesterday's Times) of the latest BMW 535i made it sound like a very nice place to do 15k p.a. Or perhaps a 335d coupe, depending on your need for doors.

I guess (but have no evidence) that these might come out around the £500 p.m. mark with a £7k deposit.

Depends what you go for and the GFV, i have put that much in and got it back++. For example GFV on a Jag XF 3.0D S Portfolio retail £48k is £16k after 3 years and 45k miles. No chance will it be down to those type of values.
