I just configured a car on the BMW site. After the configuration there is a finance quote at the end so you can see for example the 0% finance deal available now on 6 series. You can also see the deposit monthly payments and change same and\or the term etc.

Why don't the other manufacturers do this? It seems to me that BMW prefer their customers to pay on finance rather than cash.

I've thought this myself when looking at BMW compared to others, Audi is one that springs to mind.

If I was in the market for a new car I probably wouldn't even bother going to the showroom if I didn't have an idea of the finance deals available unless I had to have a particular model from that particular brand.

They want their customers to pay on finance rather than cash, they DON'T want their customers to pay on 0% finance!!
