Plus even if you look at the deals on the same website, the leasing deals that are good are only on a very specific model with nothing else added. Change it to be a 330 MSport Touring and it's more than £135 a month more... want it with Prof Nav instead of Business... that's £100 more sir. The deal only looks awesome if you want that spec with nothing else and with only 10k a year miles. Would bet that if you do more than that then the rate goes through the roof.

Christ, that 330d deal is blinding. If I was still doing a lot of miles I'd have that in a heartbeat.
Except you wouldn't get it for that if you were doing a lot of miles. That deal is with a 10,000 mileage limit, and if you put it up to 18,000 miles it would most likely be closer to £600 a month.

I take it you don't have a 'basic' 9-5 job and are alot better than those that do?

Not at all, I was quoted in a 335xd touring at £345+vat and going to 20k miles from 10k miles added £26 a month, or I could have left it as it was and paid the 7.5p per mile excess charge at the end, which was around £32 a month from memory, but obviously you then have a big lump sum at the end.

So upping the miles is not that much more, especially on a 2 year lease, 40k miles 2 year old BMW with a years warrnty left is still a very desirable car when they need to move it on.

They used to give company cars to anyone who worked for them, in order to feed the demand for approved used cars.

There were cleaners and and part time clerks wit three series company cars who worked at their import centre!
When you say "They used to give" who is THEY? The reference was to a Mercedes and now you refer to cleaners at a BMW import centre. I don't mean to offend but your postis nonsense in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, which I value.

Edited to help other belligerant and hard of thinking members like you.

Plus VAT? If not then that is cheap, not massively so e.g. that M5 deal is £60/month cheaper than those available through brokers.

Still not as good as the rumoured Merc family deals, how does £285/month for a C63 sound?!
Last spreadsheet I saw (Aug) was £450 pm

But it's bullst isn't it? My mate has a fantastic business relationship with merc via leases & pays more like £500 plus vat for his.

Show me an invoice for a merc at that price & I'll retract my billy bullstter statement wink

By the way, the BMW family deals are all including vat. Apparently a lot of staff are ditching the company car scheme to get themselves on the scheme
Google Mercedes VIP scheme. Very cheap Mercedes are definitely available.

Again, I've heard of this but I've never seen any evidence of anyone remotely "normal" getting the deal! The BMW family deals simply needs someone to have a relative who works at a BMW dealership, of which there must be thousands (though bloody annoyingly not me!).

Pro rugby players get them and I know a few of them. The one example I know of is £199 a month, nothing down, 10k miles for 12 months on a Merc SLK 250 CDI AMG Sport.

That's a far cry from a C63 at £285 though. and again, I'm trying to find something Joe Public can obtain.

Two friends who work in finance at BMW HQ. Brand new car every 9 months, due to their ages (26) can only get 1, 3, X1 or X3 upto a 3.0d. Pay a tiny fee each month say around £50 and thats it apart from fuel. Both driving round in X3s at the moment.

Allows them to push more cars into the used market. Not sure on the family front but i think one of them got his brother a 118 in a top spec for around £250 per month all in which i thought was a good deal.

Makes me wonder why I work in finance for Ford rather than BMW!

Exactly, I'm still calling bullst on those figures for the general public.

£499 PCM for an M5 is astounding IMO, that's a £9k cost over 18 months & how much would depreciation be? £20k? More?!
Fixed at 10k mileage per annum & you won't even need a service.

Someone cleverer than me must be able to list the mundane cars that folk buy that'll cost more to run than that
