Just picked up on this thread. Would be very tempting if I didn't have a new car sitting at the port waiting to come over. Oh well next time maybe. What I do wonder though is what the insurance would be with the completion pack?

I'm weakening and have emailed Tony.
Teaston, I owe you a drink if this deal goes ahead.

I tested an M4 last week, an hour on manly rural roads and a bit of duel carriageway. Enjoyed the test, got a bit of a surprise when I floored it for an overtake and tail wiggled a bit, I enjoyed the ability to alter steering, engine and box independently. The mid range acceleration was great but not that much better. It was fun but not that much more fun than my current car, whilst enjoyable it wasn't enough to make me change.
A great car but not that much more great than my 335D |

Yes and they are just one dealer in a big network. If Cooper C can do it then other dealers can do it My post did refer to BMW AG as a company chasing the volume and not TRL or CC, they are just reacting to the demands of the business and see an opportunity to gain business through the forums. Good for them I say

And so the million dollar question - trade in on your car Andy. Will be very interested to hear what comes back. I feel that any 335d trade in will hurt (as they are still under 3 yrs old) - unless you've put in big deposit, you'll eat into that M3 discount.

I think its the usual swings and roundabouts Guy..... you get a great trade in, but not so much of a discount or a great discount and crap trade in (potentially!). The only winner here is the dealer (unless you VT your car - mine is about 8 months off that). I'm sure in a years time these kind of deals will be the norm, as the current F series model nears the end of its life, just like what happened to the E90/E92 M3. Just some of us cant wait. Will report back what he says tomorrow.....

Situation I am in - what can he do though? Surely all he can do is reduce discount on new car, which no longer makes it the deal posted?

Realistically people like TRL are unlikely to be able to offer huge discounts on new cars and fantastic part exchanges as well so, while it's potentially a bit more hassle, guess you could look at selling your existing cars privately? I realise a lot of buyers at that sort of value want the piece of mind that comes with buying from a dealer but if your cars still have some manufacturer warranty left and are in good condition with FBMWSH in reality a dealer isn't offering much more apart from finance facilities (which are rubbish on AUC's anyway!). Therefore, could be worth putting an ad on here and/or Pistonheads if the part-exchange offers are really poor; worst case is you end-up part-exchanging anyway but if that happens all you've lost is the relatively small cost of the adverts. Sold my E92 335i via Pistonheads back in mid-2014 and got around £2k more than the dealer was offering as a part-ex.....
