You may not get Bridgestone's though.

Yes, the Bridgestones are on my spare 400M's already and I want to replace them with winter Conti's. Whatever my car arrives with is what will stay on for summer. Does that makes sense? Even sounds confusing to me!

Just had a call from the dealer saying that the M3/M4 release date has been set for 21st June 2014 - needless to say my deposit has been paid and I'm in the que

Thank you

I've got an F31 and the boot release i would say is somewhere in between it does not seem as long as 2.5 maybe 2!

You bored with the 335d already?!

Although you'd have probably had it for about a year by the time you get your hands on a new M3/M4.

No, its time to trade in the M5. The 335d is now my everyday car - it is easier to live with!!!

Thanks Stan!

davyk31 · 10-25-2013, 01:49 PM

Is that the date first orders can be entered or on the road.

Really, you are selling the M5 because the 335d is a better day to day car.

If so, glad I made the right decision!

I would imagine although the M5 is a fine car, less trips to the petrol station with the 335d.

Been told that is the date you can get it on the road. There are 150 M3's and 600 M4's coming to the UK in the first year.

Haven't released costs but I would estimate at about 60k.

Thanks for the info. My sales guy was trying to tempt me with one, but i just ignored him mentioning it other things to spend money on first.
Yeah i'd say £60k with the right spec.

Hello all. Great thread.
I am really considering upgrading from a f11 to a 335D Touring. I no longer have any children mounted backwards anymore so the better handling on the f31 looks interesting.
Are you really getting as much as 15% of listprice on the whole car? I am not going for a lot of equipment, I am considering m-sport+ and some other items, a price arround 47000£.

Yes you can get 15% at the moment without too much trouble. However, as you are in Sweden, not sure if the same discounts would apply over there or whether it's just a UK thing?

kave · 10-27-2013, 12:26 PM

Dopper: thank you. Actually I am considering buying one i the UK and drive it back to Sweden since your prices are much lower

I'm not sure you will get 15% off a f31 without finance. Most of the figures 15%+ I have seen have all been on cars on finance.

The deals in the uk seem better on a f30 than the f31 but I think you should be able to get around 13 percent on an f31 in the uk.

Lots on of people on here buy the car on finance then quote discounts of 15% to 17%. But in reality if the car is on finance, your not getting 17% as BMW get the money back in interest.

Brits love finance, we have one of the highest if not the highest personal debts levels in the world.

dopper99 · 10-27-2013, 02:51 PM

Yes but with 3.9% APR interest on the F30's they are not exactly making a lot of money out of the finance.

Yes agreed.

But I'm paying 7.1% on my car that a bought new on PCP in Sep 2011. That's what the BMW rate was at the time. So 3.9/4.9% is a very good rate at present.
