New Car Discounts
As a few will have read, I managed to receive substantial discounts on my new 335d, far more than TRL and coast2coast could manage, 28% off total invoice.
I've been told by the salesman that he's happy for me to post his contact details publicly for others to benefit (and obviously himself!). His name is Riaz Choudhury of Spire BMW in Watford - email: Riaz.choudhury@spireautomotive.com Tel:01923 298500 Obviously my final discount took some negotiating and he didn't offer this off the bat, however he will offer favourable discounts straight away if you mention this forum. I receive nothing in commission, apart from a free umbrella and the hope that he manages to save you guys a few quid on your next car! Good luck. Chris.

For past 13 years ownership of an E39 and then an E46 (before regretfully deserting the camp for a Seat Leon), I'm now really tempted to return to the flock with these great discounts. Thanks for the money-saving tips! |

Better discounts are coming if you read the financial times. Euro is about to be printed in large numbers to help the economy, which will devalue it. As German cars are paid for in Euro, it can only get better for us.
Tough times ahead for Eurozone. |

Large companies will hedge against currency movements, so it would be years rather than months that any impact is felt. Secondly, many BMW are made outside the eurozone. For example the UK, USA, South Africa. |

As for cars made outside of Eurozone, it makes things worse for Germany. BMW's will become 'cheap' to the rest of the world, making it more economic to switch production to Germany. Sales of Mini's in Europe will plummet. I'm just saying that the £:€ will alter dramatically, meaning it will give UK significant buying power for European items......cars included. |

Also, you are looking at factors that impact on the Euro only. FOREX doesn't work like that. You also need to consider the pricing pressures on Sterling. With CPI at 50 basis points, the likelihood of interest rate rises in the UK have receded, which has a downward pressure on Sterling, as foreign investors sell £££ in search of yield. There is certainly a reasonable chance that Sterling will increase in value against the Euro, but I wouldn't hold my breath for " cheap BMWs " anyg time soon. By the way, you do know they don't actually print physical money for QE don't you? |

I work in EUR/GBP bond eTrading and it's been an interesting few years. Yields are already very low with spreads so close to mids and the smaller players getting hacked to death, so it's all about volume at the moment and getting into Algo/HFT asap.
In regards to the QE, the ECB will be buying up EuroGuv bonds which will in turn effect the price of the bond i.e. will prob go up, the flip side is the yield will go down, making it less attractive to an investor/trader. Now were are left in this horrid situation where ppl either move more of their cash out of euro Fixed Income and into Equities etc etc and off we go into another downward cycle. IHMO it looks like a shit storm is on the way, if the euro countries can't sort themselves out. |

All the discounts are great, but how will they effect the residual values down the line? We've already seen members being offered mid £20k's for year old 335d's. The discounts are killing the market in the long run....

But one consolation is us forum-types know about the discounts to be had .... think about those that have no idea on discounts or more money than sense. They pay near list price and also get offered mid £20K for their year old 335d's.

The effect on those who want to sell within 2 years is much greater of course, so in an era of huge discounts, you just have to make sure you buy a keeper... |

Yeah there is that. I guess we only make up a small number of buyers.
