I'm just purchasing a new m140i shadow edition for my wife and have heard of the likes coast2coast, a2z and co and carwow Has anyone used them? And are there savings much improved on going directly into the dealership for pcp purchase? Any help would be appreciated and ideas on previous savings? Thanks in advance

You still buy it from the dealer

Lots of people on here have used them and as the poster above says, the cars I believe are still supplied by a dealer as well.

Even if they are not, I know that some people have got a quote from say Car Wow and then gone into a dealership and said if you can match it I'll buy from you

my father got his brand new honda civic via car wow or one of these services from a local main dealer (Rotherham) for just under £2,800 less than the Sheffield main dealer quoted, and who couldnt move on price when contacted.
same car, same spec, same colour, nothing less. well worth a try.

I got my M135i by going to Coast2Coast for the car and spec, then took a print out of the discount to my local main dealer. They matched the C2C quote and I still got a huge saving. If you used C2C or alternative site end to end, they still go to a main dealer to source the car.

Bought my new car via carwow.

You don't pay any money to the internet agent, once they give you the quotes it is up to you to follow up with the dealer who will have their own finance deals as well.

Totally painless

Thanks, I haven't used carwow as of yet. I have tried c2c and a2z, I will get a quote from carwow and see how they workout compared to the others.

Have used Drive the Deal a few times, always good prices and you pay all your money to a main franchised dealer. Have always had an easy transaction.

Carwow gave me the cheapest quote for my M140 Shadow edition . Took the quote to my local dealer who got close enough for me to be happy with the deal.

Tony Lewis (forum name TRL) from BMW Heathrow does the best M140 deals in the country. See his thread on baby BMW:

Although prices may change as a result of Q4 hitting 1st October
