Are there not some decent lease deals kicking about?
CVL had one.
Maybe cheaper than buying.

My x3m lease deal way cheaper overall than pcp.

Problem for me is the larger discounts seem to either be on pre-LCI cars or pretty bog standard cars with very few or decent options such as buckets and full leather.
What's the general consensus regarding pre-LCI vs LCI?

I'm new to the market and in my eyes the LCI hasn't improved the look of the interior vents nor the headlamps visually, also I believe the headlamps are poorer because they've dropped the laserlights?

In addition, can you feel the extra shove?

I'm interested to see if there are strong deals available on the remaining old stock or whether it's worth potentially paying more for the LCI?

Cheers.

I own a pre-LCI myself so I'd have to go LCI for the same/similar model.

But apparently a previous owner of a pre-LCI who has now had an LCI and now CS, did remark they noticed a difference in the power, delivery and to some intents the handling/chassis/suspension. But who knows for sure.

Discount was on new factory order, cars that the dealer had due in but were spec changeable.
Where these prices at local dealers to you when sitting in front of them or on the phone. or where they comparison site ? Carwow quote was only offering about 11% discount .

74-75k for a lightly specced touring sounds reasonable when they want low 60’s for a good specced M340i touring now they have downgrade the spec and make you pay for leather and 19inch wheels!!!!

Hi apologies, I’ve just seen your message. These discounts were sat in the dealer, I haven’t bought one yet and get the impression from some email exchanges there’s more to be had.

There’s a couple of used examples with my spec and under 3k miles that would equal a saving from list of circa 25k. So I’m swaying towards used.

Thanks for the update. 25k off list sounds good .
Are you looking for ultimate pack , I see now you’ve got to pay extra for the carbon seats on new 25 models

I’m holding out to later in the year to see if can pick one up in decent spec for sub 65k .
