Buy a BMW via broker

RIKO_440i · 05-10-2017, 12:44 PM

Has anyone here bought a BMW via a broker ? I heard that it can save you 20%?
Any tips and links would be appreciated

Depending on the model and options you could get a bit more than 20%. Get some realistic online quotes from brokers and then ask your local dealers to match.

Our local dealer got within a couple of hundred quid of the broker price so I placed the order with them.

Coast2coast and broker4cars are worth a look. Some of them give discounts on both the base price and options and some give a strong discount on the base price but cost options at full list price.

What broker did you use?
I only know carwow and they offer about 8%
We are thinking of upgrading the 430i f33 to a 440i GC if we find the right deal

Try drivethedeal and coast2coast, they should be around the 20%

I ordered with my local dealer, not a broker. I got almost 21% off my 320i but as already stated, model and preferred options will have a bearing on price as might the dealer's sales targets and performance.

Just checked 440i Gc on drive the deal, 34K, that's a lot of car for the money

Don't need to actually buy from a broker. Just get their best price and ask a receptive dealer to match it.

As mentioned TRL has sorted a lot of members. I didn't get a reply to my email to him, so used Mike at Marshall Grimsby. He beat the broker price for my 440i GC (over 20%) and I twisted his arm into including a service pack.

Be careful with broker4cars for BMW's, they don't use BMW finance so you get the big discount, but you don't get the 2.9% apr. Drivethedeal have really good prices and go direct to BMW, therefore can get the 2.9%, so could use them if you're not up for haggling with the dealer.

I used coast2coast for my merc. It worked out about 23% discount off rrp that was discount on car plus merc finance contributions.
They put in touch with a merc dealership and it was that easy.
Merc even pay coast2coast £300 not the buyer unlike BMW.

B58_Touring · 05-11-2017, 03:54 AM

I managed just shy of a 21% discount a couple of weeks ago on a 340i. I built the spec that I wanted on Broadspeed and just took that into the dealer, they matched it within a couple of quid so I just ordered through them.

Ampersand1979 · 05-11-2017, 10:36 AM

I used CarWow then negotiated the price with the Dealer and got 22.5% off the car: £52,800 RRP, £40,700 post discount.

440i GC

Arrives end of June

I think it's timing with dealers.

I priced up a base spec car via car wow and got the lowest priced dealers to quote that as a pcp agreement.

Went to my local dealers about a week before the end of march, they located an unregistered car that was already on order, though the spec was fixed. Showed the dealer the pcp quote for the base spec car.

I went back to carwow website with that spec and again got lowest priced dealers to quote pcp deal.

Dealer came in about £50 a month lower than best 'specced' quote and to be honest weren't far off the base spec price.

It's always worth shopping around.
