Goodbye 340, hello M3 !

Many of you will have seen the recent zero percent deals on M3’s, whilst the £629 no deposit deal was ‘an error’, we still went along for a drive and a chat.

The car is incredible but those who either already have one or have driven one will know this !

After a drive and a few hours looking for a stock car and negotiating the deal we pushed the button, zero deposit, zero interest and 12.8% discount on a car at a touch of under 70k - £720 a month for 47 months and £27k balloon, with service pack.

Hopefully here by next Saturday

Drek, take your point but at zero percent it’s free money, got 25.5k for the 340 which will come back to me as I owned it outright - man maths says cost covered for nearly 3 years !

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent tracker, whilst insurance isn’t bad at £580 (48, full ncb, garaged, 10k pa, me and the wife with £750 excess) must have one fitted - thanks.

I had one fitted recently on my car, have they asked for a specific Thatcham category? Cat 5 plus is the highest rated, it provides immobilization capabilities and much more, I've done some research, can help find best deals, let me know the requirement

Congrats on the exciting new purchase, sounds an awesome deal and a great spec

Thanks Rudz, they have said any tracker will be ok so from what I’ve seen a cat 7 will be ok. The dealer can fit at £399 plus vat not yet told me the cost of subscription ...

Hi Rudz, thanks for that, did you get the car there - cheaper than direct from the supplier by a considerably margin.

I think Arden are running an offer on the Tracker brand at the moment, may be worth checking if dealerships local to you have any offers running at the moment

I bought my car from there btw, but the offer is open to all
