3.9% APR is about as good as they have right now I think, but I thought I saw one guy talking about 2.9% on a 235i over on PH.
3.9% is what I got for my 335d GT order recently.

Also big engines are at £8/9/10K+ discount off of list, which is running from mid-teens to low 20's % discount on 3's and 5's.

I was on 4.9% but after seeing this, I'll fight for less...

If I do a pull-ahead, probably a '15 428xi M-Sport Glacier Silver/Coral with Leather DB. If the pull-ahead is not an option, I'll wait for the '16 430xi.

Thanks mate, I've emailed my sales person to see what she can do... If she doesn't match it, I'll cancel and go find someone who can!

Can I ask which dealer you've ordered through?

All I know is that I am on 3.9%. Not totally sure how it works and if there is any flexibility to be had at dealer level. That quote is what I have had offered and it's full official BMW PDF. Started the order process before the end of October if that makes any difference?

I think you could certainly get down to at least 3.9% with a push. I just emailed with wife's Mini letting them know figures I would pay monthly (and thus what rate that equated to) and to reply if we had a deal - let's just say it was rather low. There is always movement on finance rates.

I'm not totally set on a replacement yet. I'm planning on changing either next summer for a September 2015 plate, or if not then 12 months after that.

Would like more power, want to keep xDrive and also want to keep the 8AT. I guess it depends on what changes occur in the range next year.

At the moment the 1 series is out (no xDrive/8AT). 2 Series AT with 225i xDrive a possibility, 430d GC, 330d Touring perhaps. Also keen on seeing the next X1.

I've just contacted my dealer to confirm our APR and to see if they can lower it to 3.9%. I checked the BMW site and 1 & 3 series are showing around 4.9% which I guess is there standard? It's worth asking I guess...

Rokut, do you know if the 3.9% is across all the 3 series variants or just limited to 3GT?

I've also ordered through Tony and have been quoted a rate of 4.9% for my 330d saloon.

I am guessing, looking at the evidence coming out now, that I have jumped the gun and it's the GT that has led to 3.9%.

Really apologise if this is the case guys. My assumption, due to me looking at F30, F31 and F10 & F11 that they would have all got me the same APR number, but it now seems not with what others have been quoted. Sorry if that's the case. The good thing for you - I've got a fat un-dynamic car coming whereas you haven't...

430 or 435gc or secondhand M3 if they drop to £40k. I also like the Ghibli though.

I hope that Maserati have sorted out their build quality issues. Some years ago I borrowed a new 3200GT from Maranello Egham for the weekend. I couldn't open the fuel filler cap from the lever, as it wasn't fitted straight, so I had to borrow a wooden spatula to gently prise it open. Certainly caused some amusement at petrol stations

I couldn't wait to get back into my properly made BMW
