M135i/128ti Lease deal

Looking around for a 128ti been quoted £243.88 per month on a 9+35 for 5k miles (£2195 initial).
Live Cockpit Professional but everything else standard (Nov delivery)

Certainly paying a lot more than the deals at the start of the year but can’t seem to find anything better.

Optional £23 per month for maintenance. Trying to workout if it’s worth it or just pay for the services as they arise.

What are the servicing requirements like for BMWs and typical cost ?
I tried calling a dealership up for an estimated cost but they wouldn’t give me any details without a registration number

Not sure on the 128 - how about go on autotrader and find one for sale, and give them that registration?

Does that include tyres? I'd say not worth it 9+35 x £23 is £1012. 15k lease you'd think you wouldn't need a full set of tyres, maybe fronts. Servicing is 19k or 2 years, which ever is first and will be around £300 for the first plus brake fluid at around £80 which is every 2 years on the M135i use to be 3 years(first) on my previous BMW's so not sure on a 128ti.

Just on tires, I'm on a M135i with 8k per year for 3 years with maintenance but no tyres. Maybe an impossible question to answer but do I need to be budgeting for replacing the tyres before giving it back?

Generally 'normal' driving with the odd blast is my driving style.

Thanks

Delayed for the 4th time they’re saying the end of September now, that will be a total of around 27 weeks from when I ordered the car.

Lost hope the car will ever come.

Tyre brands vary.

I have done 9.5k in my 135 since I bought it new in January running Bridgestone Potenza sports tyres

I'd say the Fronts have about a 2K shelf life until I will have to replace them .

This is normal commuting with no WRC heroics involved.

Thanks, appreciate the reply. I'll check what mine came with. Going to be a bit frustrating having to replace them with brand spankers with only a few odd K left to run on the lease I suppose.

Be cheap and find some part worn’s?

or, buy some new ones now, and store what you take off...... then replace your newer ones with the original ones when you hand back...

2 options to consider, thanks.

I’d check for an update mate I was told the same a while ago and only the other day was told it’s now going to be to the dealers on the 30th of September.

Was only told yesterday so pretty happy it won’t change. Delivery won’t be until the w/c 20th sept which I’m happy with as gives me time to sort current one out.

The fact it has a chassis number gives me more confidence

Ah lucky you mate what date did you order? Can’t remember what colour and spec you went for, I complained and Arnold Clarke forwarded me an email saying bmw are confident it will be the 6th instead of the 30th but I haven’t heard anything
