@Shadowness just FYI that TRL has bumped their contribution to £10340...see if your local dealer can match it?
if they can add on another £500 contribution, should bring down your monthly by ~£11 p/m

Dealer contribution £5105
BMW contribution £5235

Thanks for the info.
Spoke to Rybrook BMW who were a little more competitive, as soon as I mentioned I was going back to Cotswolds to take a test drive he was adamant that I speak to him after as he’ll beat their offer. Nice guy though!

I am very tempted by the mineral grey one in the showroom. Very nice spec, more than I would want. If he can give me a much better offer we’ll see what happens.

The 0% PCP are pretty good deals.

My wife has a new Mazda on PCP and as somebody has said, the monthly payments for the 3 years are paying off the depreciation. The winner for us that the balloon payment is about £2500 less than an equivalent used 3 year old model. So she gets a new car for peanuts each month, then gets to actually buy the car under market value, a car that's done minimal miles and was the exact spec she wanted.

Plenty of people said they didn't think finance was great etc, but before this she had a string of used cars that either needed big repairs or lost value at resale time. She was losing about £1500 a year on cars that were 6-7 years old anyway so PCP made perfect sense.

So......what an epic car!!

The deal is this......

That’s for a shadow edition with....
