BMW Deals & Offers

You are renting a car on the cheap in theory, with an option of buying it at the end of the lease, no thanks (skeptical) I'd rather buy a 3 year old car and it'll be mine (party) . Leasing is ok if you have debt collectors at your door and you haven't got any available cash = in other words you are making out to have money by leasing so you'll always be a poor millionaire :( , ( don't live beyond your means and you'll be alright) :D, Who cares anyway (y)

Thougt so too as works out lower than the 35% depreciation cost.

Is this a bad deal for 3yrs? I think it is decent enough. Why so cold

Think that should be amended to just "beware driving" I find that most German and decent Japanese cars are driven by people who care about driving. It's people driving french monstrosities that seem to forget they are in control of a vehicle.

Yes and I believe they come with a special sticker in the back window reading "Beware, egotistical idiot driving"

Very nice kit, surprisingly large :o

Just watched a few reviews, particularly the 911 at a 1/3 of the price. Looked good but spoilt by quality control or lack thereof. Thanks for mentioning them as hadn't come across them before.

I've seen the Lepin version of the "VW Camper Van" kit and it was indistinguishable from the Lego version - just sayin!

Lol, wonder what this is really like given they've just used Lego's images and badly Photoshopped their own logo over the BMW one.

Same price at Tesco Direct too and triple(I think) club cards points too

Decent deal this. I’m looking to get a new deal September too, currently have a Kia Sportage and looking for a similar size car. Hoping for a 24 month lease rather than 36 months though. On my 2nd lease and find it hassle free and great having a new car every couple of years

Might be good to know that some BMW dealers offer a 24 hour test drive on this car. I took the 24 hour test drive but didn't like the car, mainly due it having a lot less power than the car I was driving (a C220 CDI) and being much less efficient in terms of fuel economy. I ended up leasing the Volvo V90 deal that I posted on here. This lease deal is much better than the deal I was being offered for the car from BMW though. It was 25k for a Pre-Reg car (pretty much the same Spec as this). You would lose more than the 8.5k in the 3 years even if you were doing only 8k miles pa.

Not necessarily. If you factor in the cost of borrowing to buy, or opportunity cost of putting a lump of cash into a depreciating asset, leasing can make a lot of sense. Some good lease deals can bring cars into someone's affordability bracket that would otherwise be out of reach. E.g. a while ago I leased a C4 picasso for 18 months @ £155 per month (£0 upfront). If I bought it with a loan, I'd probably have paid around £60-80 per month for the loan, plus £230ish per month depreciation... that wouldn't have been comfortably affordable for me at the time. Yes, that was an exceptional deal, but if you do the sums & find a good deal, sometimes a lease will let you get more car for your money than buying. Another way of looking at it, over 3 years - with a budget of £300 per month, you could a) borrow (at around 5%) & buy a £20k car & hope for fairly low depreciation (apparently 50% is common over 3 years) b) lease a £25-£30k car on a good deal c) buy an £18-19k car with cash, hope for average depreciation (factoring in 5% per year opportunity cost for the cash) Of course there are other options, but for buying a new car, a good leasing deal can be the most affordable option for a specific car, or make more expensive cars affordable.

If you like hassle free and easy motoring, lease it. If you like driving a new car, lease it. If you don’t mind “not owning” your car, lease it. If you like having confidence in how much depreciation is costing you, lease it. And if like having your new car delivered and then collected from your home or work when you are finished with it, lease it. I like all the above, so I lease it!!

If you can afford to buy one, and it's cheaper to lease it, then lease it! Honestly don't understand these crackpots, that hijack every lease deal with words of zero wisdom!

Shouldn't make any difference, but sadly you are right.

Unlucky time to post just when bmw have announced a major recall...

pro nav - but if you log in, it will tell you whether its compatible for your car or not anyway...

Do you need Pro Nav for CarPlay or will it work with standard Nav in a 2018 F20?

I picked a new bmw up last week. Great deal have some heat.

Anyone have experience with affinity leasing?

So, you are paying almost a year upfront, what is the credit score required for one of these badboys? If you need an excellent score, why do you have to pay a year up front?

If this was a 3 series this would be on fire

The 225xe isn't too bad, but a different propostion compared to this.

Given you'll get this car in October, yes you'll get the facelifted 2018 model.

Using a single quote of some old oil baron as your personal finance mantra probably isn't the wisest of ideas.

Does this have the new BMW stop/stop system?

Whilst the name calling is unnecessary, thats exactly the point - the lease / PCP market on new cars provides loads of good low mileage 2-3 year old cars down the line. The leasing nay-sayers forget they need that top tier of purchases above them in order that they get their "bargain" cars down the line. If people want to lease and the figures stack up for them, then great. Doesnt make them wrong and anyone else right..

+1 If you buy a new car at £30,000 drive it for two years and sell it for £20,000 you've nothing to show for your £10,000 loss either.

Do Lex operate this deal and is this deal @ £1 per mile? No to both. Point disproven and no more to discuss.

Think you right mate ! After watching Watchdog 9/5/2018 . Why on earth would anyone want to spend money on a over priced match stick like BMW's (

It is a weirdly proportioned car and looks terrible. It has no ergonomic class, style or charisma - not my opinion, look at it! A car for the Mrs or a teenager.

Not a fan of the back of the 2 series, find it ugly. Rest looks great though. Cold for me

Tesla's would possibly let you drive 200 miles. I guess it's ok for the golf course and back.

If you look around council estates they are quite common now along with Audi’s so it’s no longer a status symbol. At the private schools I notice more Tesla’s.

Haha (y)

If you go into your dealership do they give you free cars, but nobody takes them anyway? Sorry...i couldnt resist :)

Don't forget to play some thumping Dance/Techno music uncomfortably loud so that everyone knows you're there.

Aside from the similar form factor, as they’re both SUVs, I don’t think they look that similar at all.

VW Group designers seem quite taken with it :D An ancient X5 A 67 plate 'VW' product

I have got the 216d M-sport active coming tomorrow. 3 year lease,8000pa, £1250 and £220/month. It’s my first bmw..I’m upgrading from a corsa. XD

It didnt destroy sales thought did it? In fact, quite the reverse. Which - correct me if i'm wrong here - is kind of what a motor manufacturer wants to do? You cant please all of the people all of the time after all. Say what you like about bangle era cars but they were a lot more distinctive than the bland blobs they're now making. The new 5 series in particular is rather dull compared to the e60 in its day. The z4 was certainly never going to win any beauty contests, but i never considered it "ugly". We'd a 3.0Si Sport Coupe at one point and its one of the few cars we regret selling and i'd love another tucked up in the garage as they're now starting to appreciate. I'd no particular issue with most of Bangles designs that made it to production. The earliest 7 series looked a bit harsh but that was quickly facelifted. The 3 and 5 series E46 / E90 and E60 i thought looked well, at least in M Sport trim levels. But each to their own. Styling is subjective. "As for your 'lightly modded' MINI - good luck with that warranty! I'd say your comments in this thread show a high degree of knowledge - but a poor level of judgement. Just my opinion, of course!" Its a plug in tuning box and a performance air filter element taking it to around 235BHP ish. All plug and play stuff that can be removed in a matter of minutes. Nothing i havent done for a couple of decades on various cars and have had no issues. Its not the first modded F56 MINI out there and i'm sure it wont be the last. And to be very frank, if i decide to mod on at it - 290BHP can be easily reached - and i blow the engine out of it then i'll suck it up. I'm a big boy now. :) And i dont get where all this hand wringing is coming from RE the reliability of the F56. Theres many dedicated forums for BMW MINIs and the F56 is leaps and bounds ahead of the R56 and R53 in terms of quality, reliability and tuning capability. I guess its just people operating on hearsay when they dont know the product. Very surprised at the veiled snide comments BTW which should be beneath people on here, but clearly not. I think that speaks volumes about the individuals involved. Just my opinion, of course!

Z4 is probably the worst example of American Chris Bangle's 'flame surface' styling, which took decades of carefully developed BMW 'understated elegance' and destroyed it. BMW styling post bangle is widely considered to be, at best, disappointing. They make some very good cars (quality and reliability aside) but a growing number of howlers too. The badge will overcome a lot for a while but not forever. As for your 'lightly modded' MINI - good luck with that warranty! I'd say your comments in this thread show a high degree of knowledge - but a poor level of judgement. Just my opinion, of course! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bangle

More than happy. I'm not the one living in a fantasy land to get away from reality. Just bemused that people like you have to and amusing to watch you squirm when called on it.

You don't seem happy with life from your comments though...... be happy it was fun while it lasted...

Why would I be jealous of someone (saying theyre) getting a drive in a car they can't afford for a day when I've a more capable and powerful car at the door that I can drive 365 days a year? If that's what lights up your little life then great. Meanwhile in the real world....

Exactly what I wrote earlier today that making a profile with a few odd details doesn't prove or expose anything, I do not want to make a profile and add such details so exposing me as you claim you have is baseless. Man, how much time do have, really or are you just jealous that someone else was offered something you simply weren't.

As i've said, its BMW UK pitching the offer and the franchised dealers dont want to do it because moreoften than not its a waste of time for them. The odds of someone ringing up blind, booking a 24hr test drive with no other interaction with the dealership and them converting that to a sale is probably 1 in 100, so they'll spend their time following up other leads. Unfortunate if you're that 1 in 100 but its a numbers game to them. If you're genuinely interested, ring up, make an appointment with a salesperson get a test drive and see how the figures stack up. If you really need / want an extended test drive after that, then i doubt you'll have a problem. I've genuinely never had any problem test driving / extended test drives / being taken serious by a dealer if you show you are serious about the car in the first place.

Thanks ordered! Got it for £22 :) Used £8.5 from topcashback and had £5 applied at checkout thanks to Amazon Assistant (Install on your browser (google chrome) to get an additional £5 off £25 purchase when searching via the assistant)

This went hot when I posted it at £34.99! Good price - heat added.

I'm surprised this has gone cold...price looks ok.

Thats where marketing got involved and tried to upsell the cars. IMO its a good engine (still develops a lot of horses) but whether it deserves a x30 badge is a different matter. You can get similar performance by chipping the stock 2.0L 190 option. What they seemed to have done is got rid of all the ×23, x25 & x28s pushed the x30 down the scale and pushed the x40 and x50 as the big engined non-M option

This all stemmed from my original comment about this car having a measly 2 litre engine under a 630 badge. Sign of the times I suppose

Can't believe an Astra vxr and a BMW GT are being spoken about in the same sentence. Agreed the Astra does the 0 to 60 in 6 odd seconds, but in comparison a La Ferrari has 4 wheels as does a Ford Fiesta. End of point...

Nothing to do with manufactuer finances. Because vehicle taxation in Europe is now based on CO2 emissions, manufacturers naturally optimise their engines to achieve the lowest possible CO2.

The flagship Astra engine is the 2.0 from the VXR line. The 1.6 sits firmly below this - not top, not bottom - therefore making it middle of the range. Not really sure why everyone’s disagreeing about this

Amazing, your code works on Perfume & Beauty.

I bought these the other day (not delivered yet). Hopefully Debenhams deliver the right product, as they are renowned for wrong pictures and listings. If they do, the car and helicopter are great items. The car has headlights when driving forward, brake lights when reversing. The helicopter has flashing blue and red lights. I'm certain the car has remote controlled top hinged doors as well.

Ok wish I’d read that before I ordered lol 👀
