3% Finance Offer for New 3-Series Sedan
I got an unsolicited letter from BMW Australia/BMW Financial Services today. The letter offers "an exclusive loyalty bonus on the all new BMW 3 Series Sedan. [...] the offer includes an exclusive 3% interest rate (comparison rate), our lowest ever offered, and is only available to a select few". It goes on to say that it's only available on new vehicles ordered and delivered before 31 December 2012.
Anyway I thought I'd put it out there to see how exclusive it is. I suspect it's being sent to existing 3-series customers who may be in the market for a new F30 (I ordered my E90 in 2009, but have never used BMW Financial Services). I also suspect that after the current 360 Event offer expires, the 3% finance (or similar) offer may be made publicly available. |

WOW... That's a sweet deal.. I could potentially even just put 10k down and make more money of investments..Too bad I will probably need to wait a while till I even think of switching cars. I'm loving the 328. Thanks for the info.

Yeah I got one too. I don't know why they think I am going to get a new car only 4 months after taking delivery. I don't have my current finance with them and I still got the exclusive offer...

From BMW finance I think. The letter was addressed to me slightly differently from any other BMW mail I get, from the dealer or Bmw aust as though the address used was from a diff database. It was sent to me at home but my employer's former name was in the address.

CKau: Also definitely ask for the 360 offer and check if your company is partnered with them for the corporate programme.
I just checked my mail and funny thing I didn't receive any such letter..wtf |

Darn! There's also a $350 processing fee. Would be cheaper for me to use my line of credit. |

They seem desperate to get rid of the models built/delivered before the end of december... They probably produced too many cars, and they want to get rid of them... Looks like a nice offer though. |

Hi guys I am new to 3 series forum.
I have just taken up their 3% interest offer to upgrade from an X1 sdrive 20d to a 328i. Taking delivery tonight of a Sapphire Black Metallic, Coral Red Leather and Aluminium trim. Got the letter Thursday, went to dealership Sat, picking up the car Wednesday - so really happy. |

The question is should I delay ordering to see if the deal is extended to all comers or do you think that this is unlikely? I was already thinking about delaying to make sure I get the new pro nav so it seems like I am going to have to wait a bit longer still. Roz |

- Audi have driveaway price LESS an amount equal to GST on their 'A' models ( =8-9% saving depending on stamp duty & LCT payable). - Lexus have 2.9% finance across their range But don't delay based on a hunch. Try to use the info (eg. tell them a friend has been offered the deal) as well as the Audi/Lexus deals as leverage to see if they'll extend the 3% offer to you. |

If you've got all the options u have in mind you can try getting your dealer to check if current stock has a match. You might get lucky at get the 3% and 360 offer. |

All I was told recently is that 335i cars in Australia are not moving, probably because the 328i is so good. I mean, who would order a BMW F30 328i and then have to wait 7 months for delivery. Crazy, I say!!!!

Fwiw i am not buying thru a company and i got the 360 4 yr servicing deal on a custom order to b delivered feb. Just bargain hard. U can always walk and deal w someone else.
I would use the brand cross shop as a last resort. Besides an A4 quattro w adaptive might actually be liveable. Caveat tho... I think the VAG group are j3rks when it comes to warranty and fixes.
