Are Arnold Clark the best people to approach for a deal on an in-stock 128ti or m135i? I can't be without a car for 16 weeks or so.

Carwow/Leaseloco are showing some m135i as in stock, but can you change the spec?

Also, what ballpark figure should I be looking for for either car with:

3+35, 8k, non-white paint and upgraded stereo?

Ta!

135 = £320
128 = £280

That's not including H&K but just to give you an idea.

Where are you seeing those deals, please?

My Finance took a week from initial form to Hire agreement. Don’t worry you should hopefully get it sorted next week.

When ordering i went from 135i to 128ti then back to 135i. Did the AC reps head in. Simple reason i knew i would probably see 135i’s on the road and regret not getting one.

In person the 135i exhaust tips look alot better as they stand out and are larger. Also the bucket seats, larger display and digital cockpit are standard on 135i.

I’ve ordered storm bay but saw a misano blue today on the road. Having second thoughts now hahaa

Ah but every month when a bit less leaves your account and each week when you have to put a bit less petrol in, you will be grateful you went 128

I'm the opposite, saw the grey in the dealers window and wanted to swap for the blue I have ordered! We'll have to swap.

V true. Just hope 128ti doesn't feel like a mini inside. Heard folk saying 135i feels like a proper bmw.

The review videos on YouTube suggest otherwise.

I think the only real difference is the seats

Had the same finance approved mail but on Wednesday morning. Only thing I've had since is a mail about activating an Autocentre account.

I'm eager to get everything completed but not too worried as they will be incredibly busy.

I got the same thing. I'm pretty eager to get everything signed off and placed. Especially as the offer sounds too good to be true.

same, got finance approval Tuesday and still awaiting to sign the final agreement, they say they are busy!

They are very busy! All the fault of Pistonheads...

My finance took a week to get approved. I just think they're extremely busy at the moment.

They should honour your quote for 30 days, so don't worry too much

I hope so, dude. Just annoying the dealerships being closed that I can't go and compare.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I was actually looking to replace my wife’s CRV lease, no decent deals on the new model so went with the Kuga St line X in super slow 1.5d guise. I must have been in the mood to lease as I went for a M135 the day after - I wasn’t looking to for a new car but was getting bored of my old 320d. It’ll hopefully help me put of the caterham itch a little longer.

The 128 gets great reviews, I’m sure it’ll be a fun car. I’m hoping the m135 keeps me interested for longer than the m135i I bought new in 2013 and isn’t just too accomplished to have fun.

What’s everyone’s eta?

TBC but I have been told to expect 16 weeks+

Hello for anyone interested I got a quote back today for the following

M135i storm grey on 5k miles with service/tyres/AA on a 1+35 profile and it is 339.18

Adding the tech pack brings it to 360.19

Anyone know what taking the service pack and tyres off brings down the cost? Might just go back and ask directly. It will only need 1 service, anyone know who is funding this deal?

Super fast reply:
No service/tyres price comes down to 324.98 and 345.98 respectively, so £14 for service/tyres

Going off other quotes quoted I would say the tyres/AA are adding on £20/25 a month. Servicing for me on 8k is quoted at ~£11pm on 3+35. I think a brake fluid change is also needed at the first service and factor in £350 ish for the total first service cost. Note the car comes with 3yrs breakdown anyway.
Funder is quoted as Close Brothers with AC as the approved agent.

2nd post in has effectively paid £323pm for 6k miles for the same....maybe the fact they went for 3 up front has reduced the cost, you might be able to get it £10pm or just under cheaper if you paid 3 up front?

Will you need 4 tyres or only 2 over 15k miles? If the former you’ll be slightly quids in but the latter you’ll be out of pocket.

[Hank.Scorpio]

I thought the servicing/tyres/AA @ £11pm for 5k miles a year makes sense to go for. That's roughly £132 a year. I figured servicing would cost much more than this but admittedly I've not yet thoroughly looked into it. But assumed this covers any services during the 3 years.

What does no quibble tyres entail? Is this accidental damage or also including wear and tear
