Wow - can you really have a 7'er on the drive for £400 a month?

Whats the catch?

Anyone got one?

[Kerr]

That's cheap.

I wonder why they are doing great offers on the diesel versions of this and the 6 series when you would think they would be easier to sell in this climate than the petrol versions.

Why not such great deals on petrol cars to get them shifting?

[rich1068]

Quite a high mileage allowance too. 16k if I read that correctly. The price is on a par with other offers but the mileage is certainly better.

Mine's through BMW, no problems at all. In fact it's through Alphabet which I believe is owned by BMW. This offer probably is too.

:edit:

I didn't read it correctly. It's 16k contract mileage.

[m1bjr]

Yes 16k in two years.

Most of the other 'deals' are around 8-10k avg/yr.

Still, thanks for your thoughts.

What is included (I only run LEX company car so have no exp oc CH)

Cheers,
Steve

They'll send you a tax disc every year.

I suppose BMW must be desparate to shift these bigger cars, just to clear the backlog probably, so they discount them out to CH firms.

Better to get £400 a month for it than nothing.

We'll be in the market for a new family car later this year for the Missus - just have to convince her that a 6 or 7 is just what she wants!!

The offer I was emailed was for private use. Business was even cheaper.

£563.00 for the M Sport

[doughboy]

They creep up, offers always quoted without VAT etc, then its more and more until you end up pushing 600 nearly.

Then when you add on the 6+ deposit and divide it all by 24 its alot more still in real monthly cost.

Say 6+23 / 563m = £680 / m

Not bad for a nice car, I suppose, but you'r not gaining anything for it, no 'equity' just rental really.

Yeh, not yours I meant you see these headline figures like '640d for £403/m!!'

Then it actually turns out at 563 or more, then its 6+23, so its another 21% on top of that!

[225_AB]

Sure no equity but no depreciation either.

It all depends his frequently you want to change your car and whether you want to start with a new car.

Agree, once you have spec the car how yo want it, the price per month shoots up. I still think it's a great deal given a £67k price tag.

[doughboy]

Agree, the depreciation from list will be about 30-40K in 2 years, but of course BMW won't be charging list to the CH firm, more like half list!

These deals are best if you're happy to take a special offer model 'as is', if you start adding many options you've had it.
