Check my 330d M Sport Tourer xdrive spec please

Personal opinion is that the aluminium hex trim looks a bit cheap. I chose beige leather with dark wood trim and the car in deep sea blue. The BMW HUD really is VERY good...add that and have 18" wheels instead. I would think you'll find the ride very harsh on 19s.

All F30s I've driven have had keyless go, but comfort access is an optional extra...

Problem is the 19" wheels come as part of the M Sport plus pack. Unless I am doing something wrong, all the other items add up by themselves to much more that the cost of the pack and thats excluding the £600 for the 19" wheels.

Beige is out for me so has to be black leather so maybe piano black as a trim instead of the aluminium????
 
You're probably almost there with your current option choice.

Nah I think its only 44.5k ;)

Really interesting how some options affect the lease cost. Metallic paint is -£1.87 a month and Business Media over no media is a fiver less per month.

Some things like heated seats are about 70% of their cost whereas adaptive suspension ends up been less per month than heated seats despite costing way more.
 
Local bmw dealer so bmw lease. Salesman said daft as it is because the residual value put on it by bmw some options are negative cost. He aaid a 3 year old car with business media ia valued by bmw at more money than the option cost over a car without same with metallic paint. So only costs me in bik but for a private lessee its cheaper to have certain options added lol.

Quote is at work but from memory the m sport plus pack is only an extra 20 quid a month. In total my 7k of extras are only costing 50 a month so 1900 over the 3 years. That means bmw still values those options at over 5k in a 2nd hand car. Total lease cost based on 25k per annum is 504 per month so 19k over the 3 years meaning they value the car at 26k with 75k miles on it.

Either that or its heavily subbed by bmw.

I too found BMW (Alphabet is the leasing arm) to be the cheapest.

That's a great monthly price by the way. Is there any up-front deposit (other than the 3 months lease being paid as an initial chunk)?
 
No justvthe 3 months.it was helped by the cost of the car dropping by 1500 when bmw made Xdrive a no cost option ;)
 
Audi needs to find reality.not only is their 30k a3 only 30 pound per month less than the base cost bmw 330d m sport xdrive which is 10k more expensive but the 6600 of options I specced on the audi equates to an extra 141 a month or 5358 over the lease making it 40 a month more money than the bmw.

Clearly audi values the worth of any extras after 3 years as been none existant.

So basically bmw see their base model still been worth 9k more than the audi after 3 years and with the extras on both bmw see their car as been worth 11k more which is a bigger difference than when new.

As I said, that's an incredible price. My 320d was about £36-37K IIRC and the lease based on 30K / annum over 4 years is ~£540 / month. Over 3 years it we over £600 / month.
 
Helps having the xdrive for free. Just got mu price for the hud option. Bmw want 700 over the lease for an 825 option so they see no value in the HUD then. In fact the hud costs only one pound a month less than the m sport plus package says it all lol

So no hud not at that price.

I'm still surprised. Free or not, the car is ~£8K more than mine and over £100/month cheaper to lease!

Screw fuel economy! Next time I'm going for a 330d instead (especially as it now has stop/start for company car tax friendliness!)

Which BMW dealer are you talking to?
 
Stratstone harrogate. Current spec is 44300 p11d value and 504.34 a month. Bik is 23% on the 330d xdrive so 339 a month tax.

Hell of a lot of car for 500 a month. No point buying new at those rates as you would need to be sure you got around 23k for your 3 year old car with 75k on plus road tax hp interest and a hefty deposit.
 
I am leasing my F31 330d, even with £5k of options it was still £2700 cheaper over 3 years to do a personal lease rather than a PCP through BMW (with a 14% discount offered by the dealer).

On a 6 + 35 I will be paying £450 inc vat - Msport plus, pro Nav, adaptive sus, heated seats and burr walnut trim.

Thank you for speccing that car like a pro :D

It seems to fly in the face of common sense but I don't have to worry about selling it on so it's exactly what I want.

Longest wait in the world though, it is being held back for a mid December delivery because of my "old" car going back :mad:

Better than my deal. Might have to haggle more. I reckon on a 3 plus 35 deal you are 50 quid a month cheaper than mine. What miles though?
