Is that real though? I've just been through the process (M3 Comp rather than M4) and the deals were very poor, discounts were miniscule (sub-£1000) from all dealers I looked at, even at the point of walking away, which I ultimately did.

Ares this thread might help you in regards to M3 discounts

What's this based on, looks 435i to me as it's still using the N55?

I don't think their designers have moved with the times at all.
Engineering seems to be great but the body kits and wheels always look like they belong on an E30 straight out of the 80's.

Really like the Alpina stuff. BUT, I cant bear the front spolier, looks bolted on and just change for changes sake.

Yeah, that was a while ago though.

I was looking late-April/Early May this year. Very little wiggle room then for new build.

What did you buy in the end or did you stick with what you've got?

Take a look at the APR on offer (it's nearly 11% vs less than 6% on a new one).

I got about £5.5k off a new one (M3 Comp Pack DCT) bought on PCP.

That's used, used APRs are dire, hence why buying new is almost always cheaper than buying used <2yrs.

Out of interest, when did you get your M3?

[anonymous-user]

Picking it up on Friday.

Nice! Excited??

When was it ordered? Factory build?

My QV arrives any day, I'm like a kid waiting for (a moveable) Christmas? Ordered back in early May. It's been the longest three months in my automotive life!

[anonymous-user]

Ha! A bit different for me.

Decided on Friday I wanted one. Went back to the local dealer and on Saturday paid the deposit.

Unregistered stock car with decent spec.

Got a new 140 from them 4 months ago and thought it had scratched the itch. It hadn't, so here we are!

To be fair, they've given me £29k for the 140, which I don't think is bad.

Let's see one which isn't silver with a black interior - but what a subtle way of going very quickly indeed!

You probably don't like BMW's own effort ether then.

Yesterday I submitted a no options request to carwow for an M4 and today I have a response offering me 12% discount before we even start talking. Same discount cash or finance so already the Alpina is about 7k more expensive than list prices suggest
