M3 deal ? Any good ?
Been offered pre reg BMW M3 CP, £4.5K deposit and 48 x £669, was 699 but came down a bit. Decent spec too - Seems pretty good ?
(8K miles PA, which is more than enough for me). Anyone bought one recently and have figures to compare ? PM if you prefer ? Rob

Have a look on M3Cutters - there's an active thread on there - I assume you are getting 0% PCP in which case no point in any deposit. Mine was one of the last of the factory orders so not really able to compare but it sounds like you should be able to do a fair bit better - all depends on the spec really... Sounds like you are paying £65k for the car?

Hmm seems fairly standard deal I'd think?
EDIT just checked HJ Chester, could get new for less...but that's not understanding what options are in the car you're looking at. If it's stock, no chance, new deals are better.

It's manageable. It had low mileage. Decent extra packs. Tech. Comfort. Visibility. Ceramic brakes. Two years ago it would have been handed to us when my wife was contracted as a top dog in BMW. We had a new one every 3 months and she could only keep a car 6 months max.

I could have put zero deposit and paid £800 ish per month or I could have put £20k and paid £400 a month. Either way you cut it - that's what if costs to run an M car.

Thanks for all replies, had a look on M3 cutters too, some very useful info. Will see , but also reckon I need an extended test drive to test how harsh ride would be. Still like the C63 too.

I am less well off compared to some of the guys I work with in the army. Some of them have more money than they know what to do with... one has exchanged on his 4th house... one lady bought a TT RS outright... my brother in law put himself through an education and is going to make a million soon. Then you have your inheritance... I know the M3 was an expensive move. How much power can you put down on UK roads in daily driving? 150-215 bhp should be sufficient right? I enjoy the feeling of being sat in something powerful. After what happened to the M2 in the off topic forum happened to my 435d... I never felt the same about it. Rebuilt it, modified it and, sold it on. Never had an M car before. Always wanted one. Test drove an M3 saloon at Barons Farnborough. Fell in love with it. |

My M4 is £750 a month and the deposit was a smidge over a grand, for 12k miles per year. Whilst the mileage is less than the 335d, it's still less in overall payments by a few thousand pounds over the term! M3/4s are to our generation what performance fords were to our fathers generation I reckon... affordable!

Now and the next 6 months will be a great time for F8X deals. Time for many to itch that scratch. I would strongly advise a test drive.
