When I bought my F30 last year I drove into a dealer down south and showed them the Broadspeed price (might have been DTD at the time) they pretended it was scandalous and then said OK and beat it 5 minutes later. Paid deposit, collected car a few months later. I'd like to do the same thing but with a dealer closer to home this time.

Does anyone know of a dealer or even better a contact within a dealer willing to beat these broker prices, please? Basically anywhere in Scotland or the North of England would be closer than Birmingham!

Thanks.

when i was looking a few weeks ago (ok I bought an AUC car in the end) i put a spec together on coast2coast cars and submitted it within 48hrs a dealer in Lincolnshire emailed me and matched the price, good finance etc etc, that was for a 340i, ended up with a 435i GC instead. so to me at least it seemed to just "work" the dealers should contact you. if they don't send me private message on here and i'll send you details of sales guy in lincoln BMW dealer that was very keen to put deal together.

I bet every dealer is hungry for the business right now. If your in the position to deal right now and are flexible to take a physical stock vehicle, there's never been a better time IMO. Do your homework first C2C a good starting point, + check out the AUC site for pre reg cars that are similar to what you are looking for as the price reduction on these over the list price will also give a good indication on what you can expect.

I am in the position to do a deal straight away, yes. Some of the pre-reg cars have great specs but none have active cruise - which I'd like as I've got it and I think I would miss it and regret giving it up. So I think I need a factory order. But a sale is a sale, right, whether pre-reg or not?

Peter vardy were willing to do me a deal but I got a slightly better deal a lit closer to home. I would certainly try them

Couldn't agree more. Yes active cruise could be an issue in terms of availability. There will be some exceptional deals on the table for a registration before month end for sure but a C2C quote will be your best start point for a factory order. What are you thinking off model/spec wise?

I'm thinking the following:

Black with black, with 442M wheels which i think are

Msport+ package with adaptive LED
Adaptive M Sport Suspension
Pro Media + pack
Interior comfort package
Ext. mirrors folding
Active cruise
Speed limit display
Rear blinds
Folding rear headrests
Service pack

Last time I had spec regret of not getting Merino leather, but I'm not sure its worth £1k.

£35,779 on Coast2Coast. Bargain.

Nice, take it it's another 335d you're going for? Agree on the merino, it would have to be in a colour that was different to the std range, even then the extra £1k would still be hard to justify and would add to a longer delivery time.

I'm going F30 -> F31 but don't know 335d or 340i yet!

[Chompers]

I wasn't going to mention the 335d to 340i option the f31 is very nice, the added flexibility a huge bonus. Had you thought about a pano roof. I know everybody jumps on the 'lets spend all your money' when discussing spec but think it's a great option on the f31. It's the only thing I miss from my previous cars but as it was AUC, had no choice.

[alarustic]

Its like the merino, is it worth £1000? A lot of the Sytner pre-reg F31s on the AUC site have tha pano roof and admittedly it does look lovely.

Just seen your other thread, all makes sense now IMO the pano roof is a great option particularly with an all black interior and I do think it's worth the money. Anybody who sits in the car and looks up through the roof will comment. Can't see many people mentioning upgraded leather unless in a very different colour compared to the norm.

+1

Black leather with the sun protection glass from the M-Sport Plus Pack makes for a pretty dark interior - a panoramic roof will improve the ambience no end IMO!

I have the pano roof and it's worth it all day long. The light in the car when closed is great and on a decent day you almost get a convertible feeling.

Highly recommended.

[skipraider]

I took my best online quote from carwow into Cooper Sunderland who were very good, and they matched it without much fuss.

I'm still waiting for stratstone Newcastle to get back to me

[ewanmac]

John Clark group are also pretty good at matching deals. Weren't offended when I brought in a c2c deal.

+1 have had this option in a previous x5 and love it in the f31 , but my interior is coral red so not to dark when not in use .
