Follow on from post #40... Back to the dealer for a service. Had time to browse again. Two new 320d, one at £39k and the other at £54k (MSport+, xDrive, Auto and most of the options including £7.5k for the Performance Pack...lots of carbon fibre). Only salesman around was preoccupied with another customer who seemed very keen on buying a new 3 and the £39k model was sold since Monday, so there is a market. In contrast almost every other car in the showroom and parking lot was prominently marked with "Free Shadow Edition Pack" or "Complimentary Service Pack" or similar. So tough times I think.
Only things I now don't love about the new design is the area around the gear lever is now very busy with various switches grouped close together and all looking similar. Could be confusing when driving. Also despite the increase in overall size I was not conscious of any more space in the driving seat area vs the F30. Niggles, I would have one in a heartbeat, but, other than a lottery win, at the current new prices I will wait for a pre-owned LCI. |

Just seen my first one on the road, black with black grille, looked well specced from the outside. Very very nice and now I've seen it close up in the flesh and on the road it's definitely growing on me. Picture's don't do it any favours at all.

With the BMW FS contribution that comes in at £32509, not including the Technology Pack. So £34309 with it. Coast2Coast quote £33620 inclusive of the Technology Pack. Although it's not made clear what BMW FS would contribute in that case. If BMW FS maintained their contribution then the C2C offer would come in at £30789 (plus interest) with BMW finance at 4.9%.

However the brochure does not yet include the 320i so no idea about that model. |

Curiously even the config for the 330i does not show that pack as available. So clearly the brochure and the configurator do not presently match up.

So it depends on the standard spec of this car. If it already has a lot of the extras as standard then maybe it's not so badly priced. Maybe when it's been out a few years and has some decent discount it may be in the ball park.....and under the £40k tax threshold. Last edited by sensible; 03-24-2019 at 09:26 AM.. |

Saw my first one on the road today. Have to say it looks much better in the flesh than pics!
I notice they have moved away from the Kriton style wheels of the later F30, back to a more spidery 442 style👍 |
