Hello ppl*

Am new here..ordered my first new car and my first Bmw after test driving one.

420d M Sport with sport auto gearbox
Alpine white with red coral dakota leather

Optional
Harmon kardon, ext folding mirrors, m braking system, sun protective glass, 19" alloys, satnav pro

Dealer gave me seal n protect + shortfall for 3 years.

Any inputs welcome??? Thnks

Congratulations, and welcome to the forum!

How are you funding it i.e. Finance lease etc? What sort of deal did you manage to get?

///MSport420 · 01-30-2014, 06:09 PM

Thanks

I was gona buy f30 used but got nowhere with monthly payments..the best i got was £548 with nil deposit over 4 years.

Finally went for a quote for brand new 4 series and ended up ordering it.

pcp
4 years @ £540 pm
nil deposit
£14.900 final payment

£4900 dealers contribution so could not say no.

what do you think?

Hmmm, would prob have adaptive suspension over M braking...

Them m braking did look nice with big calliper and discs

That does look a good price considering there isn't really deals on 4 series yet.

You would pay about the same per month for PCH, but with around £3000 deposit!

Yes especially needed on 320d with their weedy little standard brakes!

@teaston..when i got that deal i shook my hands straight away after what i was offered on used f30 @ £548 and 13plate

///MSport420 · 01-30-2014, 06:43 PM

That is way too much for a 13 plate F30!

Mine is over £100pm less albeit with £1500 deposit!

///MSport420 · 01-30-2014, 06:53 PM

I was quoted with nil deposit
But then if i can have brand new 4 series for less monthly and same nil deposit then its very easy decision i guess

Not adaptive though to vary ride height, comfort, etc! I doubt you would see any benefit of M braking other than filling the wheels! But that's just my opinion - that's what I would do!

Adaptive doesn't vary ride height though, does it?

///MSport420 · 01-31-2014, 06:00 AM

Hmmmm i guess its nice to have adaptive..gosh i want everything..all the optional..wish it was all included

Nice deal, they aren't giving much away on 4 just yet

BTW, you made the right choice regarding brakes vs suspension, I removed adaptive on my second F30, it is crap......unless you are an old fart SE suspension guy that wants a mid life crisis M Sport and will run it in COMFY 100% of the time......in which case you just delete M Sport sus...for free.......

Well, I stand to be corrected, but the adaptive suspension does not vary the ride height, as far as I know..??

I have the M Sport suspension (non-adaptive) on mine and it's fine.. I've never felt yet that it's too harsh.. I find that adaptive systems offer compromise in either setting of the dampers..

///MSport420 · 01-31-2014, 07:08 AM

I test drove one without adaptive on a bumpy road n it was all fine to me..suspension seems fine reason i went for m braking insted..

Bmw standard suspension felt much more superior then the audi s line with sport suspension i previously owned

I tested an S3 once.. I thought that it was (quite honestly) no better than a roller skate.. There seemed to be no compliance whatsoever.. It went crash bang wallop over every bump and pot hole, I'd have been sick of it within a week, and my back would have been within a day...

Thing is, it's unnecessary on a road car, and it just seemed a complete waste of what was, otherwise, a reasonable car...

I find the M Sport suspension on my F30 fine. You drove one with the set up you ordered, you were happy, that's all that matters..

///MSport420 · 01-31-2014, 07:32 AM

I drove 420d m sport without m brakes...i suppose mine going to have same suspension?? Am i right?? Or because i chose m brakes..will that alter my suspension???
