I had quotes on 330d and 335d from C2C, and 335d was coming out cheaper (smaller deposit) over the same period and payments.

Yep there's huge discounts on the 335d at the moment, I'm getting £11.5k off mine!!

Similar for my order 335D was less than 330D, as ever just depends on BMW model support at the time! Irrational at times but go with the deals if you can . Z

I couldnt understand the figures I was being quoted, but was real enough. I just couldnt wait until March for a car.

March 20th - that's a long wait.

I ordered mine mid-October and am still being quoted late December delivery.

That's when my current lease ends.

But others have just ordered and been given build week 12 2016!

Well I have still got a Steinbauer'd and ACS'd 330d to drive until then!

Teaston, I thought you were going for 4GC? Not from Cooper Norwich!

[tbenn1]

Think I'm going to go for a 330d, I can find them for around 22k 335d seem to be around 29k for similar spec.

I agree - I would be willing to pay a premium for a BMW AUC. Not for the 'thorough' checking or preparation, as these are no better than anyone else, but for the right to get all of the problems which you find fixed.

Having bought a couple of AUC (ex-staff cars) a few months old, I normally anticipate 4 or 5 dealer visits afterwards to correct all of the faults which they should have spotted. The end result is an excellent car though.

ring a couple of dealers, tell them what you want.
mine wasnt advertised on the AUC site, it came in and was happy with spec etc so went with it.

No, decided to spend less on mine and get the wife something half decent & very practical that I can drive as well.

4GC is £30pm more than 335d spec for spec, then I removed the electric seats to make it £50pm less. I also dropped a few other options, and because I can sell my Steinbauer and can reuse my grilles & diffuser it effectively makes the deposit £700 lower!

Sounds logical enough
