Quite a simple decision really; if you need the space of the Touring you stick with the 340i, if you don't you jump on one of these deals and get an M3!!

Lol yes, get a better deal on your 340i and look at why you need a tourer rather than a saloon.

Also, you need to review your option choices, if you can live without them on the M3, then why not the 340i?

Considering a 340i standard is £30k (C2C), that's £10k of options to £40k.

The M3 deal is £52500 with £5500 deposit at £600 a month.

So if you have put £5500 down as deposit and are paying £580 for the 340i....

If not then the gap is far more than £20 a month

IMHO paying £580 PCM for a 340i touring is....well a bit much.

Given the AUC cars out there at mid-low 30's and having bought a 435i recently, ok with a £10k deposit I'm paying apprx HALF of what you are considering for a 340i.

I did briefly look at a 340i touring, nice spec, Vines Guildford had it for £35k, would think after part ex that would have worked out same as deal i got for 435i but i don't need a touring as we have the X5.

so my point? if you are comfortable paying out £580 PCM for a car then the M3 "in my head" at least is worth it.

the 340i touring is not on the simple fact that that amounts seems like a lot to paying for that kind of car per month. Heck i paid less than that for my Porsche approved Cayenne 2 years ago!!

In 6-9 months there will be a flood of ex-BMW or pre-reg 340i Tourings at mid to low 30's and i'm sure if you really need one you can pick one up then for a much lower PCM.

just my 2cents.......probably doesn't help....but I'd go M3 if you don't need touring!

Is the M4 the same price? as the OPs original post?

Tend to agree on both counts. If you're happy to pay £580/month the M3 deal looks attractive if you don't need the space of the Touring. £560/month does seem a lot for a 340i but guess it depends on level of deposit, annual mileage and spec?

I've just done a quote on moneysupermarket, currently pay approx £1400 for car insurance. The M3 with competition package only comes up at £2,200. Only an £800 difference considering the car

This is the insurance?!?! Ouch I feel for you on that figure.

My M4 used to be ..... £320

and with 25k business and personal miles

Guessing you have a few points maybe

No the 6 points and non fault crash, drops at least 2/3 with these deducted off the quote.

I found 3 points added nothing to my quotes, but yes 6 points is a different matter!

Fact is these cars depreciate like stones.

Best of luck Andy - look forward to hearing how you get on.

Well Tony emailed back at 1:30am!!! Offered what I think is a very good part ex which means I need to cough up £1500 negative. It should be nearer to £2K - £3K so I was pleased with that - considering the big discount up front from the new car.

Trouble is, I've got Cotwold BMW who I went to see on Saturday chomping at the bit trying to match the deal!!!

Waiting to hear back from them else talk to Tony later. Dilemma!!!!!!!

I can't wait to see the man maths calc on this one - you must be better at convincing your other half than me !! £1500 negative equity and you are going to convince her that it makes sense to go for a £55k car ?! I admire your tenacity though

£1500 is a lot - but not really a lot when you consider its not much more than the price of full leather or individual special paint - which some people may not hesitate in ticking the box for!!!

(Thats my man maths anyway!)

CP is going to be a lot rawer than an ACS springed 335d. Be lying if said it wasn't.

Subtle it won't be
